Bald Head Island Club Weddings

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

It's here! It's here! It's here!

I used to work for a small family run company where at any given time, there were at most - 20 of us employed there. The president of the company used to travel quite frequently for business but he was always warmly welcomed back to the office by our office receptionist upon each return. She would litterally skip around the office building, singing "he's here, he's here, he's here!" He loved it - we all thought she was crazy.

Well now that wedding season is quickly approaching, this is exactly what I feel like doing - running around the BHI Club shouting "It's Here! It's Here! It's Here!" Call me crazy.... but I LOVE WEDDING SEASON!

We have our 1st wedding of 2012 coming up this weekend, so in honor of such an occasion, I thought it would be fun to post some pictures from our last wedding of 2011!

Eileen & Josh were married on November 5, 2011 at the Bald Head Island Club and it could not have been a more perfect November day. Not hot, not cold, not windy nor rainy. It was just... right. Eileen is one of 3 sisters that were each married on Bald Head Island. Each wedding a little different, but each equally beautiful.

Eileen was absolutely glowing the day her wedding arrived. That beauiful auburn hair paired with a perfect summer tan and drop dead gorgeous wedding gown made for one absolutely beautiful bride.

Loved these shoes... I mean seriously loved these shoes. So classic, so glam, so Eileen.

This is probably the sweetest gift I've ever seen a groom give to his bride. Josh had the words to their song "Making Memories of Us" by Keith Urban written out on a frame for their first wedding photo. The song is so appropro and a great choice for Eileen & Josh. Love it.

Eileen and one of her sisters arriving at the Village Chapel as the ceremony is about to begin...

And Josh and Eileen leaving the chapel after the I Do's have been spoken.

Love these next couple pics of the two of them. I just think they're so romantic.

What did I tell you? Beautiful November day for a wedding!

I loved the navy blue and burlap nautical theme Eileen & Josh went with for their wedding. They had it tied in everywhere, from signage, to table names, escort cards and menu cards.

These little napkin/menu holders were hand made by one of Eileen's family friends. Over 100 of them if you can believe that! And they were so cute.

Gorgeous flowers put together by the bride & groom's family members. Simply stunning I thought!

And with three sister's weddings held on Bald Head, Cakes by Norwoods completed the circle of wedding cakes with their final 3 of 3 sister's wedding cakes. And again, each beautiful and each unique. Oh, and each delicious too!

Thanks to the wonderfully talented KMI Photography team for sharing these beauties! And thanks to Eileen & Josh for rounding out a wonderful season of weddings for the Bald Head Island Club! We all wish you many, many years of happiness in your future together!

#23 - Top 29 Favorite Things about a Bald Head Island Club Wedding

Few things in life can compare to your wedding day. There are so many emotions that will course through you, so many moments you'll want to prolong, savor, store in your memory. And there's one moment in particular that I think encapsulates all the moments and all the emotions. It's the end of the wedding send-off! And whether you're guests are waving flags, blowing bubbles, tossing flowers or shaking neon glow sticks... i absolutely love it all.

I love the look on the B&G's faces - so happy, so content, so ready to start their lives together as a married couple! I love the looks on the guests faces - so excited, so proud, so... .well, you know! Today's blog post is dedicated to our favorite send-offs. This is how I always remember my beautiful couples. xoxo

#22 - Top 29 Favorite Things about a Bald Head Island Club Wedding!

It's LEAP DAY today! It's the 29th day of February, but I'm only on post #22 - what to do, what to do. Hum... well, in honor of this most special of days, this day that only comes once but every 4 years, I would like to share 4 very special weddings with you. What makes them so special you ask? Well, besides being fabulous brides & grooms, with fabulous taste and completely fabulous vendors, they were all fabulously featured on Style Me Pretty this year!

Anna & Chris last May- Completely Unforgettable with a Parisian Stripes Influence

The Bald Head Island Club was honored to play a part in their special day and I personally have such amazing memories from each of their weddings. These girls have class and style coming out of their fingertips and it's all the more evident when you take a look at these gorgeous features!

Georgiana & Thad last June - a soft pallete, a floral love affair and island charm

The other thing I love about these features is how different they all are. Each a representation of the couple - their styles, their designs, their families & friends. But each a joy and pleasure to look upon.

Tabbetha & Austin last August - The Yellow Rose of Texas meets the Sweet Charm of Carolina

And just added yesterday, Brady & David's wedding from last October - Romantic Perfection in Pink

I love, love, love when our weddings are featured on Style Me Pretty because as beautiful and intimate as these weddings were for each of our couples, the images captured from these fabulous photographers are way too good to keep to themselves! These babies need to be shared. So from one bride to the next, enjoy!

#21 - Top 29 Favorite Things about a Bald Head Island Club Wedding

I can't let this month of love go by without mentioning the boys who make all of our ladies hearts skip a beat. The men who got down on one knee, and sometimes both knees, to ask for their ladies hand in marriage. The guys who are always so charming and just down-right friendly - it's no wonder they've found some of the country's sweetest, smartest, most beautiful young ladies. These guys are the very definition of a southern gentleman... and boy does it suit them well!

So #21 goes out to the boys, the guys, the men of Bald Head Island! Keep making our ladies happy and keep making these pics look so dang good!

#20 - Top 29 Favorite Things about a BHI Club Wedding

There is a saying on the island that you'll hear quite frequently if you're here enough... "The bubble of Bald Head," and the truth is... there is some truth to it!

Bald Head Island has been blessed (knock on wood) with beautiful weather, time and time again. On any given Saturday, the sun is out, the cool ocean breeze is just enough to cool down a typically warm July day and if it's rainy and stormy in Wilmington, it's usually just the opposite here. The island has been known to have beautiful days from January through December - in fact, I posted a pic on our facebook page last December when it was 75 degrees out! Now that's not to say that it never gets grey or rainy here, because it does every once in a while. But far less so than our neighboring towns, all thanks to that beautiful bubble.

And just to show you, here's some wedding pics from (almost) each month of the year. (We don't do many weddings in January or February so unfortunately, I have no pics to share for those two months.) But it's February 25th today and it's a beautiful sunny 60 degree day today! Perfect!
