2011 Outer Banks Wedding Expo

The expo has come and gone – and what a year it was!!! I had the priveldge of not only setting up a booth at the expo but also participating in the wedding tour.

My Saturday started out at Gertrude’s Breakaway, a Corolla event home managed by the great folks at Beach Realty. I want to give a big THANK YOU to the Beach Realty crew for inviting me to participate in this years wedding tour, and also to the lovely ladies that kept me company all day:

I also want to give a shout out to Wes, and the rest of the staff at Red Sky Cafe. They had an awesome set up of their famous Shrimp & Grits – oh.my.gosh – it was GOOD. I’m a traitor to southern girls everywhere, as I’ve never been a huge fan of grits. Let me just say, it’s a wonder I didn’t turn into a bowl of grits by the end of the day. They were simply delicious!!!!

Melinda Gregory, with Just Desserts, had a beautiful (and yummy!) display of samples for the brides and their entourage to try out.

We had beautiful flower arrangements scattered throughout the home, courtesy of The Embellishers. They really outdid themselves, and the flowers were beautiful!

Wedding Expo Day was a blast, and exhausting all rolled into one.

I want to give a HUGE thank you to my family and friends. Without you all, none of this would have been possible. My wonderful dad, and another friend, built my entire booth. It was a labor of love, and well worth it because I was thrilled with the way it turned out. They did a fabulous job!!!

I also want to give big hugs to my friends, Winnie & Rebecca, for hanging in there all.day.long helping to greet brides, hand out information, and answer questions. It’s a long day, and I’m so glad you guys were there to share it with me.

To all of the wonderful brides, grooms, family members, and friends – THANK YOU for stopping by. It was wonderful meeting you all, and I can’t wait to work with you! 🙂
