At Raleigh Cakes, every wedding cake is scratch-made from real ingredients and designed around your vision. We are a licensed, insured commercial cake studio in Wake Forest serving couples throughout Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, and the broader Triangle area. Our lead artist and owner Aurora is Culinary Institute of America trained and a former on-call stand-in for multiple cake shows. Her philosophy drives everything we create: your cake should taste as good as it looks, if not better. We offer wedding tasting boxes, work from your inspiration images, and handle delivery and setup at your venue.

“Raleigh Cakes made the very unfamiliar process of creating a custom cake of this magnitude smooth and easy. The team was prompt and helpful whenever I reached out with questions or ideas about my cake design. I had a vision in mind, and they worked patiently with me to bring it to into being- exactly as I'd imagined. On the day of our wedding, the delivery was flawless and the cake was a showstopper. The flavor of the cake was spot on, and was very popular. The personalized attention they gave us really showed; I cannot recommend Raleigh Cakes enough to future couples looking for a dessert vendor to create their vision.”

“My fiance (now husband) and I worked with Tara for partial planning from March 2024-June 2025. We spoke with Tara early in the planning process and immediately knew she was the perfect planner for us! For starters, Tara is possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. We could tell from our initial conversation that she knows her stuff - stuff we definitely would not have thought of or been prepared for. She answered every question we had throughout the planning process and helped us understand not only what would be the best decision for our guests, but what would help us keep our wedding authentic to us as a couple. When it looked like we would need to pivot on several things (umbrellas, rain plan, etc.) the week/day of our wedding, Tara kept us informed and kept us calm. From the first phone call we had with her to our grand exit, Tara handled everything with grace and ease. To put it plainly, Tara was the perfect fit for our wedding in every way. Working with Tara was by far the best decision we made throughout wedding planning. We are so grateful to her and the rest of the Premier Party Planners team for executing the best day of our lives. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you do. If you think you want anyone other than Tara and Premier Party Planners, you don't!”

  • Florist

  • Serves Bear Creek, NC

Every wedding tells a story, and I believe the flowers should feel just as personal. As a NC native and Pittsboro farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers I design with, pairing the best of each season with your style, color palette, values and the details that matter most to you. Whether it's a favorite color, a cherished family memory or simply the feeling you want your guests to remember, I love translating those ideas into flowers that feel aligned with you. You don't need to know flower names or what's in bloom. That's where I come in. I guide you through the process, creating flowers that are beautiful, seasonal and very you.

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Buck Naked Farm! The flowers for our fall wedding were stunning. I loved colorful dahlias. They perfectly complemented our barn wedding venue and the colors just popped against the bridesmaid dresses. Jennifer took the time to get to know us and added small details that reflected us —like tucking in blooms that were my grandmother’s favorite flower. It made the arrangements feel so special. She even custom grew the most amazing colored sunflowers for us! The entire process was seamless, She communicated clearly and often so I knew everything was covered. If you’re a bride who wants something different than run-of-the-mill flowers, Buck Naked Farm is IT.”

“Kaitlin Funkhouser Art was the best for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, Kaitlin was attentive, patient, and accommodating, making the entire process seamless. She took a video of us walking down the aisle then took screenshots of our dip kiss at the end of the aisle. She found us after the ceremony to make sure we were happy with the photo before she started painting us! Her talent is truly remarkable - the painting she created of us on our wedding day is a stunning, and so detailed!! It literally looks just like us.

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

She is incredibly friendly, and she has a unique ability to make professional photos feel easy, natural, and fun. When my husband and I began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone we felt completely comfortable with on such an important day, and Rebecca was the perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also feel so lucky to have worked with her amazing 'day of' team—Luisa, Chris, and Maggie. They were all not only professional but also incredibly warm and relaxed, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented.

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“Maddie, completely out did herself with our florals! She was recommended 29 days prior to our wedding and made our floral dreams come to life. My bouquet was so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. She added citrus pieces in our aisle clouds, cake meadow, and ceremony pieces that I requested! Would choose MadFlorals again and again! Thanks Maddie”

I’ve been a Raleigh, NC local since 2014—by way of Chicago, by way of military brat, so, all over. With a background in theater, I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and blend seamlessly into your day while offering gentle direction.. An avid traveler and lifelong student of the world, I’m fascinated by other cultures, languages, and traditions—curiosity that naturally fuels my love for storytelling through photography. Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

“Brighid was so so so amazing to work with and I could not be happier with how our photos turned out for our garden wedding ceremony. She truly made the day feel light and special. I can’t wait to work with her again for my next special occasion!”

Hi, I’m Elle! I’m a Makeup Artist, Bridal Expert, and Licensed Esthetician with 18 years in the beauty industry. I specialize in bridal makeup ranging from natural and soft glam to full glam, always customized around you, your features, and your personal style. I’m based in the Raleigh area and work with brides throughout North Carolina, including destination and coastal weddings. I provide makeup services only, but I also have a network of hairstylists I work with and can provide recommendations if you need both services. Outside of weddings, my work includes special events, commercial, film, print, and makeup education. I also offer brow and lash services to all of my clients in a private studio setting.

“From the very first private message on Instagram, Ellevated Beauty's communication was exceptional. We seamlessly finalized all the contracts and details via email, and they were flexible when I needed to adjust the timeline and location. The email contracts were clear and concise, providing me with peace of mind. Ellevated Beauty's work was truly astounding - I was blown away by how natural and perfect my girls looked. I felt like the airbrushed version of myself, with my features elevated in the most effortless way. My makeup was the final touch that perfectly captured the old Hollywood charm I was going for, and the cat eye shadows were a spot-on interpretation of my signature style. Ellevated Beauty was punctual and efficient, working through all of my girls in an orderly fashion even when some were running late. They listened closely to all of our wants and desires, making us feel truly special and cared for throughout the process. I cannot recommend Ellevated Beauty highly enough for their outstanding service, talent, and professionalism on our wedding day. Most of this was written by the AI generated review thing but it did a good job and I agree with it all. I struggled with the decision to get makeup done by a professional but I have zero regrets and would like to take classes from her now if that were even an option. I'm the worst for being able to communicate what I'm going for, I showed the poor girl an AI-generated image as an example; she was understanding. I knew my look was something hard to explain but she nailed it. I felt perfect, the makeup showed up in photos, and it felt so light, I hardly knew I was wearing anything.”
