Fall Weddings are Here!

I'm so excited to be able to post weekly wedding recaps again - and we've got so many weddings coming up in the next 6 weeks that I'll be able to post a new one each week well into 2013! On September 16th, we had the pleasure of celebrating with Matthew and Jessica. Despite being a little overcast for part of the day, the weather was perfect for their beachfront ceremony and veranda reception! All of the elements in this wedding were DIY - from the hanging lanterns and lights to the centerpieces. The best part was that Matthew and Jessica didn't have to lift a finger - they had an army of willing family members who took care of all the details so they could enjoy their time in Corolla!

Happy Planning!
Ashley

Fall Specialty Cocktails

Fall is the BEST season for specialty cocktails - there are so many great ones to choose from! Here are a few of our favorites to give you inspiration for your fall signature drink!

Happy Planning!
Ashley


Pumpkin Pie Martini
This is our current favorite - popular for both weddings and in the restaurant! Want to try one for yourself? Come in to Bunker's Grille and we'll be happy to whip one up for you :) 

Champagne Apple Punch
We're serving this at some of our weddings here in October and it's sure to be a hit! 

Fall Sangria
A seasonal spin on the fruity summer favorite and perfect as a pre-portioned specialty cocktail option!

Caramel Appletini
Another great martini that we serve here in Bunker's Grille - it's like dessert in a glass!
Spiked Tea & John Dalys
So many great ways to do this one and honestly perfect anytime of year! Try Spiked Peach or Raspberry Tea, the Original John Daly, Firefly & Sweet Tea - the possibilities are endless! Don't forget to serve in Mason Jars :)

Apple Cider
Looking for something non-alcoholic for your guests? You can never go wrong with Apple Cider in the fall!

Come by anytime for a taste test of these delicious drinks :) We're also happy to try out any drinks that you can come up with!

Fall Colors ~ Rich, Rustic, or Classic!

Fall is the best season here on the Outer Banks! The weather is still nice (knock on wood!), the beaches are empty, the rates are lower, and the traffic is bearable again! The fall also lends itself to a variety of color schemes and reception decor. Check out some of our favorites below!

Happy Planning!
Ashley

For something truly fall, you could opt for a rich color scheme with browns, plums, oranges, greens, etc - Some of the pictures below are from weddings and events here last fall...our veranda looks great with any season's decor!



Teal and Brown


Rustic Chic with Burlap and Mason Jars - Great for any time of year but PERFECT for fall!


Navy - Beautiful in any season!


Also, Navy, Ivory, & Orange Shades, like this wedding at The Currituck Club last September!
