Love was in the Air

IT'S RAINING SUNSHINE ..... and someone ordered the weather. A perfect afternoon for an outside wedding with gorgeous lakeside panoramic views at Bella Collina. I had met with Kim and Shaun a short time ago

Our brides trust us and when we knew there was a 70% chance of rain on Friday afternoon and evening; Plan B’s design was commenced. Sometimes there is a window of opportunity that the rain will cease during ceremony time and therefore

Customizing Your Wedding

We here at Always & Forever pride ourselves on being so versatile and creative. Not every wedding is “cookie cutter”. Why not include something you enjoy in your wedding. It is so wonderful working with so many brides each with their own unique visions. July 22nd was no exception to this as Tiffany and Evan tied the knot at the beautiful Bella Collina Mansion.

The Last of Two – Busy Weekend at Bella Collina

The preceding overnight torrential rains heavily saturated the Bella Collina lawn, so Beth and Brandon decided to have their ceremony on the Bella Collina deck. Plan B hence commenced and I believe that you'll agree after viewing the pictures below that their wedding ended up absolutely beautiful.

The First of Two – Busy Weekend at Bella Collina

High humidities were causing thunderstorms to pop up at a moment's notice but fortunately, both weddings went off as scheduled and both couples were able to say "I Do" against a beautiful lakeside background at the amazing Bella Collina Mansion in Stokesdale, NC.

Color, Color, Color !!!

Brandy and Dennis had a theme in mine, COLORS. And I believe we achieved exactly what they had in mind this past weekend at the Bella Collina Mansion. Color everywhere you look.
