Wedding Gowns Galore...with Cary Magazine!

The Oaks was selected as the backdrop for Cary Magazine's wedding dress feature section, "Wedding Whites", in their February issue. And not only that – one of the photos made the cover! We had a great time with the staff and models during the photo shoot, and we feel honored to have been chosen as the venue for such an elegant feature.

Each of the gowns, provided by Traditions by anna and Lana Addison Bridal, were breathtaking on models Gretta Handley and Katie Garfield. From exquisite lace and pops of color to the rising trend of going away dresses, this issue has you covered! Visit www.carymagazine.com to see more of these fabulous gowns.

Love Is In The Air...

Check out this video from Big Dog Little Bed Productions...this was an absolutely magical affair at The Oaks, with love dripping from each and every moment. Laurie and Matt are such an amazing couple, and their wedding was brimming with intimate and meaningful details, like the blending ceremony with Matt's son. But wait, it gets even better...their wedding may be on national television!

Laurie flew to New York to shop at the famous Kleinfeld bridal boutique, and she was chosen in advance to be filmed for Say Yes to the Dress, a TLC show that follows brides on their journey to finding the perfect wedding dress. Hopefully their special day will make the final cut and be featured on the show. Either way, we know they (and their guests) will never forget the special day they created here at The Oaks!

Special thanks to all of their fabulous vendors:
