My husband and I just got married last Friday in Duck and we had such wonderful vendors that I wanted to share some info for the brides to be that are planning a wedding in the OBX.
Planner - We used Nannette at the Proper Setting. She was incredible!! I was very hesitant to get a planner at first, but I am so glad I dediced to get one especially her. We live in Alabama so I had to plan everything from out of town. I have been to Duck many times, but there are little things that I would have never thought of it weren't for her. She was truly a blessing and she was so easy to work with.
Florists - The Embellishers. I hadn't heard much about them when I contacted them, but after talking to them I knew they were going to be perfect. They did an amazing job!!! The flowers turned out even better then I imagined. I love flowers, but I am not creative at all. I gave them my budget, some of my favorite flowers, and my some paisley paper that I used in my invitation that had our colors in it. I couldn't belive what all they came up with just from that. It was amazing!! They were real easy to work with.
Photographer - AMMC. Michael was great. We didn't have a real big wedding, but it was about 100 people. I was nervous when I saw that he was the only photographer, but he was everywhere. I don't think he missed a thing. I haven't seen the pictures yet, but I have a feeling there are going to be some good ones. I know we definitely aren't going to have a shortage of pictures.
Hair - Stacy Sheetz, Hair Designers. Stacy did a wonderful job. She came to the house and did my hair, my moms, and 5 bridesmaids. Everyones hair look great. She is also very calm and patient which is a real plus since she is with you when you are getting ready right before the wedding : )
Good luck with your planning!! You have picked an amazing place to get married. We can't wait to go back for our anniversary!
