Wedding of the Week!

Below are images from a July wedding at St Paul’s Lutheran Church and Bay 7. The bouquets and altar flowers were fairly traditional in style and the reception flowers were more modern. Tall glass vases with large calla lilies, submerged glass vases with calla lilies, orchids and tulips, and lots of glass vases with floating candles complimented the exposed brick & openness of Bay 7.







Elizabeth from Sweet Life Photo was the photographer for this wedding; she is super sweet. Thank you to her for the beautiful images.

Wedding of the Week!

Robin from Robin Lin Photography recently emailed us these images from an October wedding at Angus Barn and I think the images are beautiful! Megan from A Southern Soiree was the wedding coordinator for this lovely bride. The greens, ivories, and purples flowers with birch vases, tall curly willow, and silver lanterns created an elegant and natural overall look.








Thank you to Robin Lin Photography for these beautiful images!

Altar Ego: An Event All About You

Tre Bella Inc. and the Washington Duke Inn are so excited to announce the next Altar Ego Event! We have joined forces to create a bigger and better Altar Ego for you. On Saturday, March 31, 2012, Altar Ego will be held at the Washington Duke Inn. As with past years, we will have an evening full of fashion, food, music and fun! This year we are adding another element to the evening’s excitement - local event professionals will be participating in a “design challenge”!

In addition to the challenge, we are excited to tell you that the amazing Sharon Delaney of “My Carolina Today” is going to the emcee for Altar Ego! Becky, Rachael and I are huge fans of hers and the show so we are ecstatic that she will be joining us for the evening! Becky got the chance to meet with Sharon the other week and happily reported back that she is just as wonderful in person as she appears on the show.

Stay tuned in for the next couple of weeks, I’ll be blogging about more updates on our exciting event!

Until Next Time,

Kate

Wedding of the Week!

In July Rachael worked with a super cute couple who got married at Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery. Christine Landry sent me a link to her delightful blog about the couple and their wedding. The images (by Lauren Mann at Lauren Mann Photography) are really great and showcase all the fun and unique details of the wedding – a few of the flower images are shown below.

Wedding of the Week!

We were very lucky to be involved in many awesome photo shoots last year and the images below are from a gorgeous shoot designed by Viva L’Event. Hilton Pittman was the photographer and his images are amazing, so stunning. The beautiful venue for the shoot was The Oaks at Salem.













The bridal dress and bridesmaid dresses are from our bridal salon.

Thank you to Hilton Pittman Photography for the lovely images. They are amazing photographers – check out their website and blog to see more of their work.

Dining at the Ritz.

One of the perks of our jobs is that we get to visit with the vendors and venues in the area. This past week, Rachael and I took a drive down to Charlotte to meet with Kim Werner at the Ritz Carlton. The Ritz, which opened in 2009, is stunning! Kim took us on a tour of the hotel - I think I said “this is so amazing” at least 10 times before trying to think of other adjectives that would accurately describe it. If you’re looking of a destination wedding - but don’t want to travel far - give Kim a call!

Also not to miss while you are there is the spa – Rachael and I did not want to leave. It is up on one of the top floors so just about every room has stunning views of downtown Charlotte. There’s an exercise area up there that most gyms would be jealous of and up one more level is the indoor pool. It’s the perfect urban oasis. If that’s not enough of a reason to go, Kim took us to lunch at their BLT Steak restaurant, which as their website claims “has redefined steakhouse dining with its modern décor and infusion of classic French elements….” The food is delicious – even for two vegetarians!

Wedding of the Week, Pt. 2!

Below are images from two weddings that were on the last weekend in July this past summer. Neil Boyd from Neil Boyd Photography was the photographer for both weddings and very kindly sent me these beautiful images last week.

The first wedding below is a blue and purple themed wedding at the Carolina Inn. Rachael met with the bride and her mother and gushed about them whole time (from the first meeting all the way to the wedding and actually is still gushing) – and rightly so, both the bride and her mother are really nice, super sweet, tons of fun and have an amazing mother/daughter relationship. For flowers the focus was on hydrangeas (blues and purples) and calla lilies (white). The bride emailed us engagement photos that we printed out and used as accents on her vases – a nice personal touch.

The second wedding below was a yellow and white themed wedding at Wakefield Plantation. This was another awesome bride and mother of the bride pair (we are so lucky that we get such amazing brides/grooms/families) that chose hydrangeas and roses for their main flowers. We also personalized these reception flowers with a monogram on the vases.















Thank you to Neil for the wonderful photographs.
