Long-Distance Romance Ashley and William Turner IV September 14, 2019
When PLUM Hair Atelier owner Ashley Turner met her future husband at her salon, they prepared for a long-distance relationship, since William was in dental school at Tufts University in Massachusetts. They kept love alive, and in 2019 celebrated their marriage at White Memorial Presbyterian Church in Raleigh with a ceremony featuring a jewel-toned color palette and Ashley’s two daughters serving as her junior maids of honor. The Band Punch kept the mood lively and Two Roosters Ice Cream scooped up treats for a PLUM-perfect celebration. Local vendors: Long Yau Photography, Greenhouse Picker Sisters, C&D Events, The Band Punch, Two Roosters Ice Cream, White Memorial Presbyterian Church and The Stockroom at 230.
“Mission” Accomplished Krista and Zachary Telford October 5, 2019 Krista and Zach bonded as teenagers while fundraising for a mission trip to Peru with their performing arts ministry team, CrossWave. The moment they began planning their wedding, Krista knew exactly which fashion designer she wanted to make her gown: her mother. And since Krista is employed by the the Philharmonic Association and Catering Works, the couple’s venue and music decisions also came easily. The Philharmonic Association String Quartet, as well as a jazz ensemble led by Gregg Gelb, played during their reception at The Laurelbrook (a venue owned by Catering Works). Local vendors: Rivers & Roads Photography, The Laurelbrook, Bloom Works, Pastry Works, Philharmonic Association String Quartet and Gregg Gelb. 84 | MidtownMag.com
