It's here! It's here! It's here!

I used to work for a small family run company where at any given time, there were at most - 20 of us employed there. The president of the company used to travel quite frequently for business but he was always warmly welcomed back to the office by our office receptionist upon each return. She would litterally skip around the office building, singing "he's here, he's here, he's here!"  He loved it - we all thought she was crazy.

Well now that wedding season is quickly approaching, this is exactly what I feel like doing - running around the BHI Club shouting "It's Here! It's Here! It's Here!"  Call me crazy.... but I LOVE WEDDING SEASON!

We have our 1st wedding of 2012 coming up this weekend, so in honor of such an occasion, I thought it would be fun to post some pictures from our last wedding of 2011!

Eileen & Josh were married on November 5, 2011 at the Bald Head Island Club and it could not have been a more perfect November day. Not hot, not cold, not windy nor rainy. It was just... right. Eileen is one of 3 sisters that were each married on Bald Head Island. Each wedding a little different, but each equally  beautiful.

Eileen was absolutely glowing the day her wedding arrived. That beauiful auburn hair paired with a perfect summer tan and drop dead gorgeous wedding gown made for one absolutely beautiful bride.  

Loved these shoes... I mean seriously loved these shoes. So classic, so glam, so Eileen. 
 

This is probably the sweetest gift I've ever seen a groom give to his bride. Josh had the words to their song "Making Memories of Us" by Keith Urban written out on a frame for their first wedding photo.  The song is so appropro and a great choice for Eileen & Josh. Love it.

 Eileen and one of her sisters arriving at the Village Chapel as the ceremony is about to begin...

And Josh and Eileen leaving the chapel after the I Do's have been spoken.
 Love these next couple pics of the two of them. I just think they're so romantic.


 What did I tell you? Beautiful November day for a wedding!

I loved the navy blue and burlap nautical theme Eileen & Josh went with for their wedding. They had it tied in everywhere, from signage, to table names, escort cards and menu cards.  



These little napkin/menu holders were hand made by one of Eileen's family friends. Over 100 of them if you can believe that! And they were so cute.


Gorgeous flowers put together by the bride & groom's family members. Simply stunning I thought! 
 

And with three sister's weddings held on Bald Head, Cakes by Norwoods completed the circle of wedding cakes with their final 3 of 3 sister's wedding cakes. And again, each beautiful and each unique. Oh, and each delicious too!
 



Thanks to the wonderfully talented KMI Photography team for sharing these beauties! And thanks to Eileen & Josh for rounding out a wonderful season of weddings for the Bald Head Island Club! We all wish you many, many years of happiness in your future together!

I love the looks on the guests faces - so excited, so proud, so... .well, you know! Today's blog post is dedicated to our favorite send-offs. This is how I always remember my beautiful couples. xoxo
