The Leland, North Carolina couple brought 29 guests with them for the three-day Island Elegant wedding weekend at Pelican Bay.

Brittany, a registered nurse, and Brandon, a dentist, and guests gathered at Sabor Restaurant and Bar Friday evening before the wedding for a three-course Rehearsal dinner ... On Saturday, wedding day, Brittani and her bridal party were pampered with manicures and pedicures, and had their hair styled at Senses Spa.

Brittany ‘s favourite flower is hydrangea. She chose these in blue and cream for bouquets and table centerpieces, created by Katy Taylor. Cream linens complemented the beautiful hydrangea floral theme.

The couple chose a four-hour Premium Open Bar and Caribbean buffet dinner for their reception dinner. The buffet comprised specialties in the likes of Bahamian Conch Chowder, Spicy Crabmeat Salad, Roast Corn Salad, Coconut Crusted Chicken with a jerk butter sauce and Cajun dusted Grouper with Tomato and Okra Ragout. Dee jay Earl Neely kept the bride and guests dancing throughout the evening.

A three-tier chocolate wedding cake with chocolate mousse filling and light blue and ivory frosting by pastry chef Sally Gaskins was served as dessert.
