Why to Include Live Music on Your Wedding Day!

Live music can greatly enhance your wedding day. It is so peaceful and charming to listen to a live performer while walking down the aisle. Many brides choose to have a violinist, guitarist, pianist or singer during their ceremony to give it that extra touch and quickly remove any awkward silence.  Maura Kropke  is one of our local professional violinists who plays regularly at wedding ceremonies. In the video below, Maura explains how live music can set the tone and mood of your ceremony and add to the overall enjoyment of your guests.

4 Weddings, 4 Photos, 4 Cakes!!!

Hope everyone stayed warm while watching the oscars last night!

4 is our lucky number today for numerous reasons!!!! Last Friday we were able to mail out 4 wedding DVDs! Each wedding was so unique and different so we thought it would be only appropriate to share some of the details we enjoyed most with you today. In honor of the 4 weddings, we’ve got 4 photos from each wedding with 4 extremely exceptional and beautiful cakes! Which detail and cake is your favorite!!?

Lydia and Travis had their reception at the Fort Fisher NC Aquarium. What a sight to be able to see beautiful exotic fish, sharks, sting rays and jellyfish while dancing the night away. Their cake went so well with the theme and it looked like everyone had a blast!

 

Liz and Kirk had such cute and helpful signs that directed the guests throughout the day. There was no way to get lost at this wedding! Their cake was simple yet beautiful. It went right along with the theme colors perfectly.

 

Blair and Sam’s wedding was one of our local weddings at the Figure Eight Island Yacht Club. I had never seen a band with so much energy! It was as if their wedding had turned into a concert. The bride and groom got on stage with the band at one point, as well as several other guests. The lead singer, Bobby from the Bobby & The Aristocats was such a great entertainer and would guarantee a fun night for any wedding. In stead of having an extravagant cake, Blair and Sam had several different flavors of “Cake Pops”. They were a huge hit especially for the kids.

 

Our 4th and final wedding to share with you was Katie and Jimmy’s wedding. They held their wedding at the beautiful Biltmore! We fell in love with their reception details. They had the most adorable salt and pepper shakers we’ve ever seen. The whole vibe of the location gave their wedding a very earthy and a relaxing feel to it.

Hope you enjoyed the photos! Please let us know which cake you enjoyed the most!

Thanks,

Nathalie
