Candace and Marty’s Bald Head Island Wedding!

Candace and Marty were married in May on beautiful Bald Head Island at the gorgeous Shoals Club. I knew from our initial consultation that this was going to be a great wedding! Marty was a surprisingly involved groom (we love that!) and threw out some very creative ideas. There were talks of fire structures, attaching cameras to childrens’ heads..even a groomsmen boat entrance! After talking through all of them we pulled out the best and most realistic ideas, and came up with an elegant (yet fun!) beach wedding that perfectly reflected both of their personalities!

Candace wanted to be a very hands-on bride (more fun for us!) and decided to create her own table arrangements. We shipped 10 boxes of decor items from Raleigh all the way to Bald Head! The logistics involved were an exercise in patience and creativity and definitely worth it in the end! Even though the wedding was at the beach, Candace wanted to scale back the amount of beach-themed items. We ended up with just the perfect amount of shells, driftwood and natural touches! Overall, it was a perfect day! The sun was shining, the water was beautiful and Candace and Marty were so happy!

Thank you to Candace and Marty for letting us be a part of your special day! Also a big thank you to Nancy (mother of the bride) for writing such a sweet review on Wedding Wire!

When my daughter and her fiance began to plan their wedding, they first choose the venue which was accessible only by ferry and where golfcarts are the only transportation. They then had to find a wedding planner who could meet the challenges of the venue in one place , the bride’s expectations in another , and the concerns of the mother of the bride in yet another. They found Megan at A Southern Soiree. She helped find the vendors, was flexible in making appointments and responsive to questions and concerns, and anticipated and handled possible problems with seeming ease. She met and exceeded expectations. When my daughter met Megan, she emailed that she had found the perfect planner and she was right! Megan and her staff at A Southern Soiree were able to make my daughter’s dream wedding a reality.
