Everything seemed to fall in place perfectly for Matt Andrako and Laura Duffie’s wedding reception. Even the gardens cooperated as our hydrageas were in full bloom and beautifully complemented the blue hydrangeas they had selected for their centerpieces and the bouquets. Caffe Luna catered the reception while Sweet Memories provided the cake. The floral displays were designed by Fleurtations.





After their wedding ceremony in a local church, Matt and Laura arrived at Haywood Hall in a horse-drawn carriage. Guests gathered in front of the house to welcome them and blew bubbles to usher Matt and Laura down the front walkway.



The couple ended the evening with another of downtown Raleigh’s signature modes of transportation — Raleigh Rickshaw. Friends followed them out front, took photographs, and waved goodbye as the newlyweds departed.
