Wedding Date: August 24, 2017 | Hometown: Milford, Connecticut

Perhaps you'll change your mind that chic, soft pastel colors are only reserved for spring weddings. We think it's perfect for this summertime wedding day!

The bride, her bridesmaids and bridesman were pampered in the bridal suite before heading to the waterfront ceremony site with panoramic views of the Currituck Sound. After a photo session in the gorgeous summer evening light, they moved to their open-air clubhouse reception where they danced the night away.

Pierre and Liz's happiness is so infectious, and we know you'll adore looking at their precious photos from their OBX wedding day.

This local couple from Corolla chose to have their wedding on the gorgeous Roanoke Island, a different setting than their northern beach town.

Robert and Marcela's wedding transitioned from a fairytale garden ceremony to a charming downtown reception. The bride chose to incorporate a red color palette while the groom wore a dapper blue suit—a classy and stylish combination. Rose blooms, candlelight, and golden lanterns created a romantic ambiance and helped to make their Manteo wedding simply magical. 

Check out the vendors who made it all happen as you envision your own special day.

With enough lush florals to make you blush, Logan and Shannon's shindig on the Shallowbag Bay is one for the books. Simple dramatic touches and incredible blue skies rounded out the feel for their light and airy day. 

From getting pampered at their rental home to Roanoke Island Festival Park's naturally gorgeous setting decorated to perfection, you're going to swoon over every photo. 

Their mix of farm tables paired with gold chairs and round tables paired with grey linens and rustic tuscan chairs proved to be a beautiful combination, and the addition of dramatic sheer drapery and a chandelier was a romantic touch. 

We know this OBX wedding will give you tons of inspiration, so have fun Pinning and planning for your own special day.

FROM THE COUPLE

Why did you choose to wed on the Outer Banks?

Logan grew up vacationing and taking day trips to the Outer Banks. When we started venue hunting he hoped we could find the perfect venue that the water was somehow incorporated. Shannon grew up in Upstate New York and never envisioned a beach wedding for her dream day. The Outer Banks are a short drive from Virginia Beach so we decided to venue hunt there when we didn’t find anything we loved in our city. When we toured Roanoke Island Festival Park we both fell in love with the sound water view and knew that was the perfect place we were searching for!

What was the inspiration behind your day?

We wanted to keep the wedding feeling light and flowy but tried to use some rustic/French country elements to tie our wedding and venue together.

This laid-back, whimsical wedding with giant yard games, a tented reception, and an adorable couple with a mutual love of the OBX is a beaut! Their rustic-meets-beach vibe was perfect match for their venue's wild setting around beachgrass and rolling sand dunes.

Even though the weather was a tad sketchy leading up to their nuptials and things had to be shuffled around (hint: plan b's are a great thing to have!), Danielle and Cory were cool as cucumbers, and their day turned out beautifully. Scroll on to get some inspiration to see the sweet couple's love captured by ColemanShots!

The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island lends itself to be a fun and unique venue, and that's exactly what Nick and Sharon wanted their guests to experience for their Outer Banks wedding. The bride and her bridesmaids carried gorgeous bouquets made with calla lilies, stock, ranunculus and fern—perfect for their fall affair.

The couple tied the knot on the Aquarium's pier before heading inside where the shark tanks provided a stunning backdrop. Their purple linens and simple floating, flickering candle centerpieces created a perfect ambiance we wish we were a part of!

To round out a memorable wedding, guests ventured through aquatic environments as they toasted to the newlyweds. "Dancing amidst the jellyfish to our favorite '90s pop music is an experience that can't be replicated!" said the bride. Check out their team of vendors and prepare to ooh and aah.

FROM THE COUPLE

Why did you choose the Outer Banks for your destination wedding?

We chose the Outer Banks because we both grew up with a connection to the North Carolina coast. Nick's grandparents had a house in Southern Shores and he spent summers in the Outer Banks. His family lives there now and we visit often. My family has a beach house further south along the Crystal Coast in Emerald Isle and I spent time there every summer. Since both of our families had this long connection to the Carolinas, we thought it would make the perfect setting for our wedding.

What was your absolute favorite part of your wedding day?

Spending time with so many family and friends in the lead-up to the wedding was an absolute joy and we were honored that so many were able to travel for our wedding. Dancing amidst the jellyfish to our favorite '90s pop music is an experience that can't be replicated!
