Three Weddings and a Ballroom

This past fall we had three weddings in a row with receptions in the beautiful and versatile President’s Ballroom at The Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club in Durham, North Carolina. You will not believe how different one ballroom could look! This blog post is testament to the fact that every wedding is unique and has its own story to tell.

First was the LaFiura/ Misuraca wedding. The colors were deep chocolate brown and the ballroom had two sitting areas for guests to lounge as the party went on.

Next was the Lacy/ Gialanella wedding. The colors were yellow and soft, muted tones. This couple, Anne and Matt, had an intimate ceremony on the terrace with close family and friends. Then extended family and friends came for the evening celebration in the ballroom. You will see that even the sunset cooperated with their color scheme!

Finally we had the Flynn/ McClure wedding. Think pink! The bride, Elissa, had a vision for pink and white and the team at the Washington Duke along with Kate Foster Productions, carried it out beautifully.

Want to see more about these three weddings? See their blog post which contains a SLIDESHOW that tells the WHOLE story:

KPO Photo at the Carolina Inn Bridal Fair

This past Sunday I spent the day at the Carolina Inn catching up with some of my favorite wedding professionals and meeting with a lot of folks with wedding fever. The Carolina Inn Bridal Fair is the only show we do each year because it is truly a site to behold. The already stunning hotel is decorated to the hilt and top wedding professionals in the area bring their best work to inspire people who are planning a wedding for 2010 or 2011. Here are some of my favorite images from the show.

On the left is the Old Well Ballroom and on the right is a stunning table designed by La Fete Weddings.

After the forced postponement due to the snow storm, it was great to see the show so busy! This was the view from the Chancellor’s Ballroom.

On the left are flowers from Tre Bella and on the right is a table by An Elegant Affair. I saw a lot of kelly green, black and white and fun lighting. So different from the brown and blue craze of the past few years!

On the left is a floral design that mimics a wedding cake by Purple Puddle. On the right is a tea table designed by Floral Dimensions.

And, finally the KPO Photo table at the show. See you again next year! Thanks to Bea Miller of Floral Dimensions for the flowers. And a HUGE thanks to Julie McCay and Ashleigh Collins and their team at The Carolina Inn who do an incredible job year after year!
