Christie & Ryan got married in Wilmington recently & we were so glad they asked us to be a part of their day. Christie is a bride with undeniably good taste, so we were very excited to see what beautiful details she had in store for us on the wedding day. Between Christie & her fabulous list of vendors, they didn't disappoint!

A selection of our favorite images from the big day:

Brittany O'Connor of [ Studio RK ] did such an incredible job styling Christie's hair - it was something completely unique & beautiful. Loved it!

Amazing bouquets with seriously gorgeous flower combinations by [ Fiore Fine Flowers ]. Definitely some of the prettiest bouquets we've seen in a long time. Be sure to check out Christie's [ bridal session ] that was shot in Wilmington last month for photos of her amazing dress & shoes!

The wedding was at [ St. Therese Catholic Church ] right on Wrightsville Beach.

Loved the trolley we took from the ceremony to the reception! These are a super cute option for event transportation in the Wilmington area.

We stopped at one of Christie & Ryan's favorite beach spots on Figure 8 Island. Loved these trees!

The newlyweds making their entrance into the cocktail hour on the middle lawn at [ Figure 8 Island Yacht Club ]:

The reception was held inside the main building at the yacht club. This place was decorated to the nines with beautiful florals by [ Fiore Fine Flowers ], cake by [ Nancy Hearne ] & catering by [ Figure 8 Island Yacht Club ].

Loved all the beautiful natural light coming in through the huge wall of windows overlooking the water at the pier.

This crowd couldn't wait to get their booty-shaking on! I don't know if there was a single person in attendance who didn't make it out to the dance floor at least once. Loved it - so much fun! :)
