Amanda + Andrew

Amanda and Andrew's wedding day was filled with so much love and personal details, I could hardly stand myself!  All I can say is, Amanda's mother has some amazing friends who went above and beyond to love on the newlyweds.  These decor fairies arrive to MacGregor Downs Country Club and sprinkled their magic over every corner of that club!  

A special "Thank You" to Michelle Gunton of Michelle Gunton Photography for sharing these amazing images!  

Cinda's Creative Cakes made this beautiful chevron design!  I just loved how she incorporated the rose!

Amanda & Andrew - thank y'all so much for allowing Premier Party Planners to be a part of your special day!  Your friends and family surrounded you with so much love and support as you started the first chapter of your lives together and I was honored to be a part of that day.  I wish you many years of newlywed happiness!! 

Emily and Brian 11.17.12

 Emily and Brian were married at Cafe Luna on November 17th. The ceremony was so beautiful! The bride was dressed in a perfectly chosen dress with a custom made lace bolero jacket with a satin sash. The cafe was packed with family and friends in this intimate wedding as she walked down the aisle to the music performed by Elegant Ensembles. It was a perfect moment! You could feel the intimacy and love of the couple spread through the audience. This is going to be a couple that will live happily ever after!

The reception was just as lovely! The details are my favorite parts of a wedding. They really speak tales about the couple and how long they planned for this special day. Emily's dress was hung on a custom made hanger, that told of the journey that Emily and Brian were about to partake. Little details like that were placed throughout the ceremony. My favorite was the Mr. and Mrs. etched into the silverware used by the bride and groom during the reception! Cafe Luna was decorated in beautiful flowers that lined the tables. Fresh Affairs personally decorated each bouquet and they were absolutely beautiful! They also built and designed the back drop for the ceremony. The votive tea lights were wrapped in black lace providing great compliment to the bright flowers and the black and white linens on the tables. This black lace brings me to the wedding cake. It was crafted by Cinda's Creative Cakes. The cake was stunning! It was decorated as if it was lined with black lace and matched the details of the reception perfectly! The cake topper was custom made for the bride and groom by a designer on Etsy.
 

The soundtrack of the reception was played by the talented DJ Paul Fitts. A huge "Thank You!" goes out to Megan Kime with MK Photography for capturing Emily & Brian's special day! Megan did an amazing job! We can not wait to work with her again!  

Can you guess how the bride and groom ended the reception? They passed out bubbles and all of their loving guests blew bubbles outside Cafe Luna until Emily and Brian walked through. Sharing one last kiss in front of their family and friends before leaving to start there new life together!

Emily & Brian, thank you both so much for allowing Premier to be a part of your very special day! We wish you many years of newlywed bliss!

Katie + Zach

Katie & Zach were married on an abnormally mild July afternoon in one of the most romantic chapel's in Raleigh - All Saints Chapel.  This place just oozes history and I can only imagine how many other brides have walked down that very same aisle, anxiously waiting to join hands with their groom and start their lives as husband & wife.  :)   

Guests were welcomed to the ceremony by a very talented trio courtesy of Arioso Strings. 

Following the ceremony, guests made their way over to Cobblestone Hall, located in the historic City Market district in downtown Raleigh.   Catering Works welcomed guests with cool libations and tasty nibbles as everyone mingled and chatted over live music provided by Too Much Sylvia. 

Wake Forest Florist provided all the beautiful arrangements and bouquets for the ceremony and reception.  Great job WFF!

Cinda's Creative Cakes provided a classic chic (and super tasty!) cake for Katie & Zach. 

A special "Thank You" to Rebecca Mill of The Indie Image for sharing her amazing shots of Katie & Zach's beautiful wedding.  Rebecca - you did an amzing job capturing the the love these two have for eachother.  :)

Nicole + Joe 6.20.11

When I first met with Nicole and Joe, I couldn't help but notice how in love they were with each other.  And not the "get a room" type of love; but the sweet, "this is going to last" type of love.  Then, when I found out Joe is serving in the Marine Corps, I was totally sold on these guys!   How could I not do a wedding when the bride's name is Nicole and the groom is in the military?!!  It was destiny. 

Since not all of us have jobs that force us to learn all the Saturday dates in each month, you probably didn't notice that June 20th was not a Saturday --- it was a Wednesday!  Yep, these crazy love birds decided to get married on a Wednesday!  The ceremony and reception was held at Shady Wagon Farm in New Hill, NC.  The bride & groom got married by the lake which provided a beautiful backdrop for guests during the ceremony.  Once Nicole & Joe were pronounced husband and wife, guests were escorted around the pond and over to the pavilion for cocktails and appetizers.  

Catering by Design did an amazing job with the food and beverages!  Plus the service was outstanding!  Great job guys!  As usual, Cinda's Creative Cakes pulled out another amazing cake design!  I LOVED their cake topper and cute little details Nicole had her add!  Cinda also provided the guests favors with her impressive candy buffet. 

Patrick Cooke with PC Productions kept the guests entertained with music and fun games for the guests.  Patrick and his team also did a great job with purple uplighting for the barn during Nicole & Joe's dinner!  Have I mentioned I love purple uplights?!  ;)

Mel Day from Dogwood Tree Floral Designs did an amazing job pulling together Nicole's vision for her colors.  I loved the mixing of purples, reds, and pinks! 

Thank you to Anne Alexander for taking these great shots and really capturing Nicole & Joe's super sweet wedding day!  Enjoy!
