We absolutely adored helping Liz & Cory bring their winter wedding vision to life! With the perfect setting, Fearrington's Village & Barn, and Krystal Kast Photography there to capture it all, it was a December day to remember. Peek through all the pretty here and be sure to check out our feature on Glamour & Grace here!
Read MoreJohn & Ashley's wedding weekend was quintessential Durham. Some weddings are all about the glitz, glam and grandeur, but this couple had something different in mind.
Read MoreWhen it comes Thea and Rachit’s wedding, words like stunning, breathtaking and memorable don’t even begin to do their special night justice.
Read MoreThe Bar at a wedding reception: The proverbial Cinderella of the whole shindig. Bare with me on this metaphor (I promise I haven't cracked open the Pinot - yet!)... It often goes ignored in the planning process, given little attention or thought, with the assumption that it'll quietly do its job in the background while the pretty people have a party around it.
Read MoreCan y'all believe we are already halfway through the 2015 spring wedding season?! Neither can we! That said, it's never too late to look back and enjoy all the fun we had in 2014! We're so grateful for all of the amazing clients and vendors we teamed up with last year. We hope you'll enjoy this recap as much as we do!
Read MoreIt's always such a privilege and honor to be featured on Style Me Pretty! Back in January, an amazing group of vendors came together to put the first Merrimon-Wynne Bridal Event! Getting to meet so many wonderful couples in an inspiring setting was a unique opportunity. It was also an incredible experience to work with such talent and we hope you'll visit the SMP feature to soak up all of the gorgeous inspiration these vendors cooked up!
Read MoreThe Triangle chapter of the National Association of Catering & Events is such an amazing support and resource for Gather Together! The monthly meetings are always a great educational opportunity and fun way to see our favorite vendors from the area. The Triangle NACE annual awards gala happened this week at the gorgeous Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC. This year's gala was truly magical!
Read MoreIt's easy to get stuck in a date night rut. We all know the pattern: you the know the restaurants you like (and can recite each other's order), you know the bars you like (the bartender starts making your drinks as you walk through the door), so why rock the boat? Right? Wrong! This Valentine's Day why don't you put a little spark of fun into the mix and try something new?! To start you off, Chelsey, Kat and I have put together some of what we think would make great dates in the Triangle area...
Read MoreRemember our excitement with the Southern Bride & Groom cover reveal a few weeks ago? Yes, there were many ear-to-ear grins amongst the Gather Together team! And now we're even more excited to share the images beyond the cover, captured by Rachel Red Photography.
Read MoreThey are an integral part of your wedding, but not only that; most of the time they’ve been an integral part of your life. They were there with tissues and ice cream while you ugly-cried when that guy (you know the one) broke your heart, they have piled you into cabs, lent you a cocktail dress, had your back, and you would not be here without them. So what do you get these super-women to show them how grateful you are that they’re seeing you through this momentous occasion? Here’s the DL on some of our favorite gifts for your gals:
Read MoreDid 2014 fly by for anyone else? We are overwhelmed with how quick this year went by. There have been a lot of changes for #GatherTogether this year and we are beyond excited to see what 2015 has in store for the company and our awesome clients! We hope you take some time this New Years Eve to reflect on your year and set yourself up for an amazing 2015.
Read MoreHappy Holidays & Merry Christmas, everyone! The holiday has kept us quite busy, but not too busy to celebrate a fun feature with Southern Bride & Groom magazine. The lovely ladies of SB&G released their 2015 cover and magazine issue earlier this week and our Kentucky Derby inspired photoshoot is gracing the cover! YAY!
Read MoreThere’s nothing better over the holidays than the feeling of nostalgia you get as that smell - the one you’ve been smelling come late December since you were knee high to a grasshopper - floats out of the kitchen and fills the house up with its homemade, one of a kind, take-you-right-back, deliciousness.
Read MoreIt is a heart-filling moment when you see a couple's wedding day reflect them perfectly. We loved watching Jackie & Jon's unique ideas unfold and personalities come through during the planning process. You may have seen their beautiful day featured on the Southern Bride & Groom blog a few weeks back, but we couldn't resist sharing all the goodness here too. Riley MacLean Photography captured their wedding at Rock Quarry Farm and these images are nothing short of breath-taking. Enjoy!
Read MoreAs we hurtle towards the holidays I thought I’d take a moment to sit down with the ladies behind the curtains of Gather Together to talk about what makes Thanksgiving so special to them.
Read MoreIt's always a treat to share real weddings on our blog! Today feature's Amy & Will's beautifully classic wedding and reception. A delicate, white palette with highlights of greenery and soft pinks, the feel of this wedding was timeless. Will and his gents sported white dinner jackets and Amy's maids looked polished in a gorgeous metallic. Not to mention Amy's stunning illusion-neckline gown.
Read MoreThe world of exercise can be overwhelming. Bylines in magazines promising quick fixes, fad diets, 3,000 steps to the perfect crunch… Wait, aren’t crunches actually bad for you now?! All of those machines (am I the only one terrified of venturing into the forest of weights and wires?!) I recently began working on my fitness again after a fairly long hiatus. I may or may not just have celebrated my second anniversary of marriage… And of abandoning my gym membership. Happy pounds! Amiright?! Ahem. And I know so many of you brides-to-be are thinking about starting, or already have started your Get Fit For The Wedding plans. This week we've got some inspiration/advice for you from someone way more qualified than me!
