A Blue Beach-Inspired Wedding at Sanderling Resort in Duck, North Carolina

Inspired by the beauty of the beach itself, Erin Woods (30 and a graduate student) and Richard Hoffman (29 and a network engineer) kept their wedding colors natural with shades of green, blue and ivory. "We knew we wanted to get married at the beach," Erin says. "We've shared many great memories on the beaches of North Carolina, so we looked at venues up and down the coast. When we visited the Sanderling Resort in Duck, North Carolina, we knew we'd found the perfect spot. The facilities are beautiful and offered the elegant yet laid-back natural beach feel we were looking for." Driftwood, hanging terrariums, lanterns, coral and even buoys really brought the beachy fete to life. One of our favorite details was the stunning wedding cake from Just Desserts in the Outer Banks. It was an eclair cake with dark chocolate ganache inside and was covered with blue buttercream and plenty of handmade white chocolate coral and shells. Amazing!
