"That was ICONIC."

wilmington, north carolina

Savannah and Forrest brought us back to one of our very favorite North Carolina venues, The Beaufort Hotel. We’ve done our fair share of weddings at The Beaufort Hotel, but there is always something new that can be done. 

Savannah and Forrest loved the traditional look — clean, cream, white, and slate blue. Savannah really only had one absolute-must design element, a wedding custom wedding crest. 

We used Savannah and Forrest’s wedding crest throughout the space on the bar front, seating chart, napkins, and more to personalize while keeping the design cohseive. Soft patterns and textures were used to further elevate and add depth to the design, adding interest but keeping it from being loud. 

We did something we’ve never seen before at The Beaufort Hotel. We completely transformed the ballroom with ceiling to floor white draping, bringing the tent feel inside. The Beaufort Hotel had never had draping done like this in the ballroom before, but we knew it was going to change the space in the way that we needed, and for our clients, we push the limits to make it happen.

Some of our other favorite personal design elements include the custom aprons for the servers along with linen cloth menus printed with the appetizers on them, the large and dramatic floral seating chart for guests mingling on the veranda, and mix of table lamps and candles to create a romantic atmosphere.

In the reception, draping curtains, tall white floral arrangements, a mix of centerpieces, round and long tables, candles and lamps, all came together to create an elegant, classic look with the live band being at the center of it all. 

Traditional doesn’t mean it can’t be personal, classic doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, clean doesn’t mean that the design has to be flat. You can have it all, especially if you work with us.
