Corolla is such a great town for a destination wedding because of the many great wedding venues available! Liz & Dave chose to have their ceremony at the historic Corolla Chapel and then celebrated their wedding reception at the nearby OBX Event Home – Summer Moon in the Whalehead neighborhood. Summer Moon, a Twiddy Event Home – not only has a great oceanfront location with a wonderful poolside event space, but also has a semi-attached wing of the house that is perfect for a bridal suite! The ladies had hair & makeup done by Glimmer in that area and were able to get ready separately from the main house.
Before the ceremony, Liz & Dave chose to do a first look at the beautiful Whalehead Club. The bridge is the perfect spot for a first look and then afterwards, they took additional photos with the wedding party around the grounds of the Whalehead Club & historic Corolla Village.
The reception was impeccably decorated by Bells & Whistles who pulled off Liz’s vision of coastal elegance perfectly. The decor truly looked like it could have been out of Coastal Living Magazine! A big part of the decor came from the luxe linens rented via La Tavola – each table had a linen & a patterned runner and set the scene for the classic centerpieces. Half of the dining tables featured a compote with flowers and the other half had a mix of cylinder candles and loose greenery. The head table really showed off though with a full greenery & floral garland running the length of the table! The beautiful rustic Tuscan chairs from Ocean Atlantic Event Rentals completed the look.
Red Sky provided the delicious dinner & libations, Just Desserts created the watercolor cake. DJ Bruce was the wedding DJ and made sure to play all the guests’ favorites.
Genevieve Stewart Photography was on-hand and captured all of the beautiful moments below in photos, including the best twilight session on the beach and Swell Video captured it all on film! Enjoy both below!
Yours,
Ashley
