End of 2010 Season

Well, our first season of weddings has come to an end. The perk of working beach weddings is that there IS an off-season, to allow for much needed breaks and catch up work for the business! This past year was a fantastic learning experience-we met some wonderful people, created both new and stronger relationships with vendors we love, and worked to fine-tune our skills in making weddings on Bald Head Island flow smoothly!

We are looking forward to the 2011 season--a new website will be coming soon, with new photos, testimonials, and an overall face lift. We have already started booking, with our first wedding of the 2011 season on April 16th. Stay tuned!

Sneak Peek: Megan + Chris

I love when a good photographer comes onto my radar--I feel like I've found a treasure that I can't wait to share with everyone. We're still waiting for all the images to come back from Megan and Chris' wedding on October 1, 2010, but in the meantime, here are some amazing images from Eric Von Bargen that are just a preview of the wonderful photos to come!

Real BHI Weddings: Stephanie + Will

Stephanie and Will were married on July 10th, 2010 at the Bald Head Island Club. What an inspiration Stephanie was, making all her own floral arrangements and bouquets herself! Her flowers were ordered from Fifty Flowers and delivered to Southport, where she picked them up and brought them to the island to create the arrangements. Many thanks to Gene Ho Photography for the use of these images!

Southern Weddings Blog Feature!

A recent wedding of ours has been featured on Southern Weddings Magazine's blog! It's a two part feature; take a look here and here.

DIY Flowers

At our most recent wedding, the bride ordered her flowers from a wholesaler, Fifty Flowers, and made all arrangements and bouquets herself. This is no small feat on Bald Head Island--she had to order them and get them over to the island, and THEN make the arrangements--all the day before her wedding, so that the flowers were fresh! See her posting about how she did it here.

We strung & hung paper lanterns over her ceremony site, which later flipped to be her dance floor for the reception. Most venues on BHI will not do this for you; you have to hire an outside vendor who has insurance. Just another of the many services A Day at the Beach offers!

We're crafty, too!

We were asked to create a greeting sign to help guide day guests getting off the ferry to the correct tram for an upcoming wedding on August 28th. Here's the end result!

Real BHI Weddings: Tiffany + Brian

What could be more appropriate for Bald Head Island than a Coast Guard wedding?! We at A Day at the Beach spent months planning and designing this one, and were thrilled with the end result. We kept a nautical theme, while working to play up the island's natural beauty. The rehearsal dinner was held at Old Baldy --a simple bbq dinner at sunset, with the wedding ceremony and reception held at the Shoals Club. Many thanks to Rachel of Millie Holloman Photography for these amazing photos!
