Jamie & Brian

How about that snow last night! With this chilly weather, we wanted to warm you up with a Gather Together wedding from Spring 2013. Grab some hot cocoa, curl up in a blanket and enjoy the pretty.

As we meet clients and start to plan the perfect day, themes begin to evolve for many couples. In Jamie and Brian’s case, the beauty of mixing and mingling styles, flavors and fun became so exciting for us. We cannot express how much we loved this fun couple and creating a magical day. When a quaint downtown mixes with a perfectly primed garden, there is no question that beauty will ensue. Jamie and Brian chose Wilmington’s Atrium as the incredible venue that encapsulated this lovely couples radiant day. As you can see, Jamie and Brian were shining bright amongst their friends and family on a warm May day.

The outdoor ceremony at the Atrium was filled with joy. Jamie and Brian included a special blessing of hands where each guest extended their hand toward the bride and groom in prayer. The vibes of goodness and grace were felt up to the heavens.

Following the emotional vow exchange, guests were greeted by Jamie’s uncle’s delicious smorgasbord of food. True to form, the couple chose mingling of different Latin and Asian food that complimented each other with delicious flavors. All washed down dinner with Brian’s brothers’ home brewed beer which he custom labeled for the couple. Finally - keeping it all the family - many of the guests brought homemade cookies for dessert along with locally made Nye’s Cream Sandwiches.

Aside from the couples’ amazing smiles throughout the day, additional bright reception details were created to reflect that organic, yet modern feel that the venue provided.
