Forever and Company brought a beautiful wedding to life with a Diamonds and Details Styled Shoot featuring jewelry, formalwear and other essentials from their vendors. By focusing on every detail, the photos reveal how each unique element is pivotal in creating the picture perfect wedding.
The Jewelry
No wedding look would be complete without the right jewelry. Anfesa’s Jewelers, a long-time vendor of Forever & Company, provided and styled all of the jewelry for the shoot. A local, family-owned jeweler, Anfesa’s has been serving the community of Garner and South Raleigh since 1994.

Anefsa’s Jewelers’ offers all kinds of jewelry, including engagement rings, wedding bands, pendants, watches and more. The expansive ring selection includes luxury brands like Gregorio, Gabriel and Co. and Benchmark.
If you’re looking for a diamond, the website’s diamond search feature allows you to select your desired shape, carat, cut, clarity and color, helping you narrow down your perfect ring to every detail.
The Dresses
The dresses picked for the shoot, complete with elegant beading and cascading lace flowers, are a custom design from Sinderellas Rockefellas, a bridal boutique and Inn in Southport, NC. Owner and lead designer Samantha Redferen highlights the entire design and fitting process for her clients over a weekend stay at her coastal accommodations.
Sinderellas Rockefellas’ first-class service provides engaged couples and their families with a private bridal appointment during their stay, giving them the opportunity to peruse a variety of uniquely designed gowns. You can also see their beautiful garments at Forever & Company’s upcoming wedding shows.
This off-shoulder gown from Sinderellas Rockefellas, complete with exquisite beading along the straps and bodice, is the perfect memorable wedding dress for any bride.
Originally from the U.K., Samantha has made Southport her second home. In addition to coastal accommodations, this one-of-a-kind stay also offers The English Experience, complete with a full English breakfast made with English staples and fresh ingredients.
The Menswear
The suits and tuxedos used in the shoot showcase the talent of Raleigh-based SF Tailors, which crafts bespoke suits and other menswear. The fabrics, styles, colors, patterns and fit used in each custom suit or tuxedo are chosen based on the wearer’s unique measurements and preferences, personalizing your garment down to every detail.

All suits and tuxedos by SF Tailor – which are available in European, Tailored or Classic Fit – have both two-piece and three-piece options. They’re made with the quality inner lining of choice for luxury suits, ensuring that the garment not only looks refined, but is also durable and comfortable.
If you’re looking for a suit and not sure where to start, take the quizzes accompanying their e-stylist feature. They can help you choose between a suit or a tuxedo for the big day, and also show you which colors would best complement your complexion.
The Catering

The owner, Alanah Raigen, started her business with a passion for helping others through delicious and masterfully crafted charcuterie spreads after moving to Raleigh in 2018.
