WE ARE BACK!!!

Well, it's not perfect, but after almost THREE WEEKS, we finally have our website back up and running! Thanks to everyone who emailed and followed up with us via phone regarding the website.
As you may already know, our server who hosts our website "accidentally deleted" our entire website and backup! Not great. So we are rushing to get the entire website put back together as quickly as possibly, so you may notice some changes and improvements along the way.

In the meantime....things continue to move forward in the wedding world despite the obstacles. Last week we had a very full schedule. We enjoyed an amazing food and wine tasting with the Executive Chef and Sommelier at the Washington Duke Inn for the Brosnan-Cramer wedding in November.

A Sommelier, or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, commonly working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service. The role is more specialized and informed than that of a wine waiter.

We were incredibly impressed by the knowledge and expertise demonstrated at the tasting and were excited to select the perfect pairings for every appetizer and entree course, in addition to champagnes for the dessert course and a specialty martini bar featuring some of Tommy's signature drinks. Tommy is the head bartender at the Wa-Duke Inn, and if you haven't had one of Tommy's Lemon Drop martinis you are missing out...they are the best!

We also assisted one of our favorite brides on her bridal portrait shoot. Cara Galati of F8 Photo Studios did such a fantastic job on this shoot. We LOVE working with F8 and this was no exception. Cara came up with several creative environments which let Danielle's natural beauty stand out.

Danielle's dress turned out GORGEOUS and fit her to perfection thanks to the talents of Victorian Rose Bridal in Raleigh. We have a ton of clients who shop with Victorian Rose and they consistently provide exceptional quality at an affordable price.

We are excited about this weekend's wedding and we will have lots more info later this week!
