you can’t miss
from Outer Banks brides “My biggest advice would be to make sure you have a good day of coordinator. This can make your day so much easier if you have someone taking care of all your details while you relax and get ready. It really takes a lot of stress out of the day!” Emily Bartos Rosenblatt | Potomac, MD Married September 9, 2017 at The Black Stallion, Corolla, NC
“If you’re getting married on the sound or beach, wind can play a factor in your voice getting swept away.” Bernadette Arai | Cary, NC
Married August 6, 2017 at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island
“That weekend a nor'easter made an uninvited appearance at our celebration. I'm a planner and made preparations in case of bad weather, but nothing I planned involved a downpour for days, 40+ mile an hour winds and flooding. So my best advice would be to TRUST YOUR VENDORS. They know what they are doing and EVERYONE we worked with was beyond accommodating and understanding.” Jacquelyn Adornetto | Ambler, PA Married September 26, 2015 at The Currituck Club, Corolla, NC 10
Danielle Zoksseski | Bethlehem, PA Married October 4, 2016 in Corolla
“We decided to rent a beautiful oceanfront home where we held our reception after an intimate ceremony on the beach with our closest family and friends. My advice is to keep it simple, because the beauty of the Outer Banks beaches are already the most elegant backdrop.” Jessica Bireley | Lancaster, PA Married May 18, 2014 on the beach in Hatteras, NC
KRISTI MIDGETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
“Always have a plan B for weather. I waited until the last minute to rent a tent, and even though I was able to find one, it was almost impossible. The day definitely could have been a lot worse without it!”

Isiah and Kaela’s chic vineyard wedding is a stunner. Before moving inside the winery, they tied the knot among the vines. Their peach, pink, and gold palette was a perfect match for the vibrant, natural beauty of the vineyard. The bride incorporated wine-inspired accents, like the cork place card holders and wine bottle centerpieces. The winery’s beautiful wooden casks tied it all together. It’s hard not to adore their happiness and gorgeous details! 15

“We wanted a very intimate and romantic space that we would never forget. The flowers were one of the most important aspects of the day because of the beauty, simplicity, and elegance they bring to a wedding. Ellie likes to say that “gold glitter” is her favorite color, so of course we asked for as much gold as possible.” - Michael + Ellie

Paul and Courtney’s December wedding is pure elegance. Its clean, simplistic, classic style adds to that romantic feeling that is brought about by the slower pace of life during the Outer Banks’ offseason. After sealing the deal at a church located just off the Duck Boardwalk, the newlyweds and their bridal party headed outside for photos in the gorgeous golden light before heading to their venue that was decorated to perfection. 39

When the bride discovered that her great-great grandfather was the contractor who built the First Colony Inn, they knew it was meant to be their venue. Their neutral colors and rustic beach elements were a perfect pairing for a spring wedding at the Inn. Driftwood and lanterns filled with soft florals and a four-tier ivory cake with cascading shells all created a soft elegance for their special day. 51

Expert advice from
We asked 10 veteran wedding professionals to share some pointers and key advice. Remember these tips as you plan your big day!

industry pros

“Having an organized wedding day does not mean your event will be formal. The most laid back weddings are the ones that have all the details figured out ahead of time.”
Kristi Midgette
Photographer | Kristi Midgette Photography “The best gift you can give yourself is to hire an experienced day of coordinator. This will allow you, your family, and friends to enjoy your wedding day while allowing the professionals to handle all the details.”
Chad Miller
Rentals | Ocean Atlantic Event Rentals “As much as we wish we could accurately predict the weather on your special day, we know only as much as you do. Weather can change at any given time, so it is always recommended to have a tent if your venue does not have an indoor option. Many steps must be taken to secure a tent and this must be done well in advance of your event. Be proactive, and rent a tent to save yourself from stressing about the weather on your special day!”
Brenda Zeigler
Wedding Planner | To Have and to Hold OBX “Make sure to pay all your vendors ahead of time. The last thing you want to do on your wedding day is take time to pay off your final balances. The more you do ahead of time the better off you are in the end. Just get it off your plate.”
Debra Sinkage
Caterer | Argyles Events and Catering “If you are not working with a planner please be sure to provide your vendors with a detailed wedding day timeline. This will help your vendors know how you would like the day to flow.”
Matt Cooper
DJ | Outer Banks Music Masters “Trust your DJ to read the crowd and mix up the music. This makes it more likely that the majority of your guests will have a good time and dance.”
Linda Taylor
Tammy Tobin
“If your wedding ceremony is going to be outside, consider doing your hair in an updo. That way you will not have to worry about the wind blowing hair in your face during pictures.”
“Don’t be afraid to ask questions! If you have a special request please ask. Each of your vendors wants your day to be special. Stay in contact with your vendors throughout the process to make your day stressfree.”
Dorothy Heath-Morris
Johanna Lachine
“Wedding insurance is one of the best investments you can make. Be sure to get both liability and cancellation coverage. It will provide you with piece of mind at a very minimal cost.”
“Don’t feel confined to a catering menu. Chefs are excited to create a custom menu that reflects your vision and tastes. A great way to add a personal touch to your special day is to incorporate a cherished family recipe.”

MODERN MARITIME
NAGS HEAD GOLF LINKS This styled shoot will have you swooning over its gorgeous waterfront imagery and stylish mix of vintage and modern elements. The color palette is so pleasing with the pops of cobalt blue and the copper and rose gold tones that match the romantic sunset. We are enamored by these wedding vendors’ vision, from the hair and makeup and the romantic rose-centric florals to that beautiful cake!

Elegance
COLINGTON SOUNDFRONT This modern meets bohemian styled shoot is straight out of a fairytale with some incredible vendors at the helm. We love the role each element plays—the figs and berries on the place setting and strewn about the tablescape and pie. The floral details are mesmerizing, and the draped fabric acting as an arbor is an utterly romantic addition to the sandy soundfront locale.

AUTUMNAL
Romance NAGS HEAD GOLF LINKS This inspiring shoot uses elements of the natural goodness that is found on our islands. The classic black and white palette with gold and marble accents is a very elegant mix for a modern meets industrial style. Combining local talent with hand-lettering, stunning hair and makeup, a dapper suit rental, and a marbled cake, we can’t help but think you’ll want to plan your I Do’s with OBWA vendors leading the way.

The photographers dreamed up this shoot, and every vendor they invited delivered on each element involved. A local carpenter and designer helped bring the unique arbor to life. The colorful cake, cacti, and southwestern cuisine were the perfect accents to the floral and dÊcor.
