Rob and Amber were married on the beautiful outdoor patio of the River Room, overlooking the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, NC. Knot Too Shabby Events did an amazing job of decorating the wedding, which reflected the relaxed and playful couple. Rob and Amber added personal items like a Batman garter and cuff links and Converse sneakers that said “Mr. Tew” and “Mrs. Tew” on the back. Amber’s mother even hand painted little canvases with sunflowers for the guests’ favors.
The River Room in Wilmington, North Carolina which is a great venue for a smaller, rustic wedding. It had amazing views of the Cape Fear River and an outdoor patio area for the ceremony site. The wedding was full of sunflowers and quirky details that fit their fun-loving personalities. Their colors were navy and grey which looked beautiful with the yellow of the sunflowers. I had always said I would get married in Sambas, but I chickened out. However, Rob and Amber had personalized Converse sneakers with “Mr. Tew” and “Mrs. Tew” sewn on the back.
