2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Sun-kissed and Southern

Choosing the Outer Banks for its serenity, relaxed atmosphere, and a treasure trove of childhood memories, Darlene and Ryan planned their wedding, with the aid of Engaging Events, that resembled the setting sun on the Eastern Seaboard. I Do OBX Chairs designed darling set-up for their Jennette's Pier beach "I do's" that was perfect as the newlyweds were showered in a sea of beach balls for their ceremony exit. Bells & Whistles transformed the Pier into a modern, nautical masterpiece, with Courtney Hathaway Photography capturing every toast-worthy moment.

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "After Ryan graduated college, the couple took a trip to explore Europe. Ryan surprised Darlene by asking her to marry him in London on the top floor of The Shard, western Europe's tallest building. The Shard overlooks the Thames River and all of London, Darlene's favorite city!"

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "Darlene and Ryan chose the Outer Banks because of how much the islands meant to them growing up. One of their first dates was driving up Carova and laughing all day in the rain. The Outer Banks was also close enough for a majority of their family and friends to make it to the wedding, yet fair enough to give a 'destination wedding' feel." 

Wedding Inspiration: "Having frown up just across the border in Virginia, Darlene and Ryan treasured all of the childhood vacations with family and friends on the Outer Banks. The goal was to reflect the tranquility, relaxation and a home-away-from-home values into their wedding day. Getting married on the beach was an absolute must, casual beachwear encouraged, and the spirit of being on vacation were all imperative to the vision of their wedding." 

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Some of our favorite wedding day memories were getting ready with our wedding party, reading each other's letters, the beach ball toss after we said our vows, watching the sunset from the gorgeous banquet room of Jennette's Pier, and of course the weather!"

2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Aquatic Affair

When it came to planning this nautical-themed wedding, the rustic ambiance of the Hilton Garden Inn's Kitty Hawk Pier was the perfect venue to host Lauren and Hunter's aquatic affair.  Our favorite part of their darling wedding was the "message in a bottle" toss during their pier ceremony, officiated by Rev. Jay Bowman! Using the love letters exchanged that morning, they placed the letters in a bottle and tossed it into the ocean during the ceremony. With Kristi Midgette Photography capturing all of the unique, memorable moments of this Outer Banks Bride Magazine feature wedding, we're unlocking more steal-worthy details of this Outer Banks destination wedding.

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "Hunter proposed at a vineyard in Louisa, Virginia. We were out celebrating my birthday and the completion of my teaching license. The next thing I knew, the music stopped and Hunter was down on one knee with a diamond ring tied to a wine glass! In a tasting room full of family and friends, he asked me to marry him." 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "Hunter and I always dream of having a beach wedding. We visited the Outer Banks and feel in love with its beauty. We both love to fish, so deciding to get married on the pier was perfect for us! We love the rustic feel of Kitty Hawk Pier and knew right away that was the place we were meant to start our forever." 

Wedding Inspiration: "We wanted to incorporate a navy and white striped nautical theme, but keep it elegant and classic at the same time. It was all about the details when it came down to planning. I wanted everything to be absolutely breathtaking, and it was!"

Favorite Wedding Memory: "We chose to incorporate a message in a bottle as part of our ceremony. Hunter and I exchanged letters to each other the morning of our wedding, delivered by Hunter's best man. We read each others letters and put them inside the bottle afters to send off to sea. We threw this bottle off the pier into the waves as part of our ceremony. It was a beautiful moment and we can't wait for someone to find that bottle someday!"

2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Rustic Romance

Several celebrations, continuous laughter, endless fun and countless memories - Brian and Brandon's Outer Banks wedding week was nothing short of spectacular! The Proper Setting aided these two in designing a festival of love throughout the entire week, ending with vows on the grounds of Whalehead in Historic Corolla. Gussied-up in cafe lights, rustic seating, wagon wheels and whimsical blooms by Bells & Whistles, these gents flawlessly decked out their event home reception all captured by Genevieve Stewart Photography!

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "Our engagement story is nothing short of comedic! Brandon planned an elaborate scavenger hunt across Durham, North Carolina that incorporated several of our closest friends who road tripped or flew in from all over the country. When I drove down South to meet Brandon, we ran into a couple snags that made us run behind to begin the hunt but it wasn't too long that I was handed my first clue...one I didn't understand at all! We drove throughout Chapel Hill and Durham making several stops, where we were met by our closest friends who held more mementos and more clues. We eventually ended up at the last stop, a hotel room covered in photos where I open several small bags that contained puzzle pieces. We put the puzzle together which was a picture of the two of us and the caption, "Will You Marry Me?" Of course, I said "yes!" and shortly thereafter our friends came through cheering as we celebrated with champagne!"

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We use to have a home in South Nags Head when I was younger and Brandon loves the water, so when he suggested the Outer Banks we both thought its beautiful and serene environment would provide us the perfect backdrop for our wedding vision."

Wedding Inspiration: "Brandon and I both love the natural elements of the outdoors. We wanted a simple ceremony that focused on our story, our love for one another and that incorporated the many important people in our lives. We also love a good party and to dance, which is why we felt as thought we had to have a big dance floor that overlaid part of the pool. We asked Bells & Whistles to refrain from large centerpieces and use moss, candles and subtle flowers to create a tablescape that transformed out dining area into a wonderful woodland and that would highlight the beauty of simplicity. Our guests felt like they were transported away from the poolside into a beautiful forest with our rustic tablescapes and lighting!"

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Hands down, our favorite memory is our first dance. I love country music and the song we chose, 'Who I am With You' by Chris Young truly reflects our relationship. Being a gay couple, it was difficult for both Brandon and I to come out to our friends and family, but in the end it doesn't matter what other people thought of our relationship. We had each other and we could be ourselves and be honest with one another - this song reflected that!"

2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Coastfully Wed

With a ceremony by the sound and country club reception at The Currituck Club to day-after photo session with ColemanShots by the ocean, Taylor and John's coastal affair took us on a journey across the Outer Banks.

From the Couple...

How The Met: "We met while working together at a sailing center in Corolla in the summer of 2011. John had moved from South Carolina and took a job as the sailing center's Site Manager and Taylor just graduated college in Virginia and took a Summer job there renting out water-sport equipment. We became friends through working together and made our romantic relationship official that September - we also decided to make  our move to the Outer Banks a permanent one!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We met here and live here!" 

Wedding Inspiration: "We wanted our wedding to be everything that is simple, natural beauty - something we feel encompasses our relationship as a whole. The most important thing to us was to be able to get married in a place that had significant meaning to both of us, and that we could always come back to visit and even bring our keys one day. Our wedding quickly turned into an earthy, very natural, garden glam style."

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our top favorite memory is our first look! Once we saw each other for the first time, every nerve we had went away and it was just the most emotional, flawless moment for us that we will never forget."
