Sandra and Mike’s Duke Gardens Weddings
New York City residents Sandra and Mike returned to their college town of Durham, North Carolina to have their Duke Chapel Ceremony and Duke Gardens Wedding Reception. Sandra and Mike hired La Fete for full service planning as she was only to travel back to North Carolina once before the wedding. They wanted a sophisticated neutral palate that felt natural and organic. We achieved this look by pairing soft pinks, whites and ivories, rustic wood tables, mercury glass and touches of fresh herbs. A three course dinner was served by Rocky Top Hospitality and included fresh local ingredients perfect for a summer night!
This rockstar vendor team included:
Catering by Rocky Top Hospitality, Florals by Tre Bella, Rentals by Party Reflections, Cake by Cinda’s Creative Cakes, Calligraphied table numbers and escort cards by Calligraphy by Carrie, Invitations by Maria Scheel Invitations, Hair and Make up by Ginger Mullins and Entertainment by Bunn DJ Company. The bride wore a dress by Lazaro.

I love the simple elegance of this event. The touches of blush pink are gorgeous! The rustic escort cards are amazing!
