ANNE-MASSIE & ANDREW

FIGURE 8 ISLAND YACHT
CLUB WEDDING

Anne-Massie and Andrew celebrated their wedding at the Figure Eight Island Yacht Club in Wilmington, North Carolina, surrounded by sweeping water views and soft coastal light. Their vision for a refined Figure 8 Island wedding came to life with the help of Ivy Robinson Events, who orchestrated every detail with an elevated, editorial eye. Lush florals by Kelly Odom added texture and romance to the coastal setting, while custom stationery by Arzberger’s Stationers introduced guests to the celebration with a bespoke, classic design. From the waterfront ceremony to cocktails on the lawn, each moment felt curated for a modern, Southern seaside affair.

As the evening unfolded, the Figure Eight Island Yacht Club shifted into a chic waterfront reception, with candlelight reflecting off the water and music spilling out onto the dock. Guests gathered for an elegant dinner and an energetic dance floor that felt like a private estate party on the coast of North Carolina. For couples planning a luxury coastal wedding in Wilmington or on Figure 8 Island, Anne-Massie and Andrew’s day offers inspiration for a celebration that is polished, immersive, and distinctly Wilmington in all the best ways.
