I adore Falon and Clay.  They are such a gorgeous couple…both inside and out.  They were married in October at the Deerpark on the Biltmore Estate, and it was a perfect day.   Two Ring Studios did such a fabulous job capturing the beauty of the event and their love for each other.  I know you will enjoy scrolling through the pictures below.

Makeup by Blush by Wendy…love her!

Always stunning floral by The Bloom Room

Kristina and Scott were married on a beautiful September day at the Basilica of St. Lawrence in downtown Asheville, NC.  After the ceremony, guests joined Kristina and Scott at the Deerpark on The Biltmore Estate for dinner and dancing.  Kristina and Scott were the sweetest, and I am thrilled for them.  Thank you to Blend Photography for the gorgeous pictures, and thank you to Tere for all of her help to make everything run smoothly!

Gorgeous florals by The Bloom Room.

Gigi and Rich are a wonderful couple, and they were married on a Sunday in May of 2010.  Their ceremony and reception took place at the Deerpark on the Biltmore Estate.  Christy, with Waldorf Photographic Art, was there to capture the event, along with Digital Video Memories.  The both did an amazing job, and below you will see Christy’s pictures.  Thank you, Christy! Gigi looked gorgeous, and I really adored working with her, Rich and their families.  I wish them the best in their future together!

Thank you to The Baggie Goose for the programs and place cards!

Look at those flowers by The Bloom Room…lush and delicious!

Are they not the most precious flower girls?!

I just want to wish all my readers…past, present, and future brides…and everyone else a very, merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!  Thank you for your love and support this past year.

Above all, I want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for all that He has done for me.  I celebrate Him this Christmas season. So very very grateful!

I am so looking forward to an amazing 2011!

From my family to yours…

XOXO,

The Farm at Old Edwards is a gorgeous location for weddings, and it is located in the quaint town of Highlands, NC.  When Lexie and her mom contacted me about helping with her wedding there, I was thrilled!  Plus, it was an extra bonus that they were such a wonderful, kind-hearted family.  I really enjoyed the time that we worked together, and everything about the wedding was beautiful and charming.  Lexie and Wesley seemed to have a blast, and I don’t think I have ever seen so many guests crammed on a dance floor as I saw at this wedding.  Their band, The Maxx, were spectacular, and definitely got everyone moving!  It is always a huge thrill to see such happy guests that are having a good time. Decisive Moments Photography did an amazing job shooting this wedding, and I want to thank them for giving me so many pictures to share with you all.  The guys with Digital Video Memories are always great to work with, so it was nice to have them around to film the wedding.  Also thank you to Oakleaf (with Old Edwards) for their lovely floral and decor.

Lexie’s sweet mama…

I just love this picture of Lexie’s precious dad seeing her in her dress for the first time…

Great capture!

I love that the photographer saw this moment while Lexie was dancing with her dad.

Avery was a blast to work with, and to see her so happy on her wedding day made all the planning worth it.  She looked amazing, and I loved the fact that she had two different wedding dresses for the festivities.  The ceremony took place at the Cliffs Glassy Chapel in South Carolina.  The views from this chapel are indescribable…there is no chapel that compares!  Then the guests were transported to the Cliffs Falls Clubhouse for the dinner reception.  The dinner took place on the clubhouse’s magnificent porch so they were able to enjoy the views all evening. The Bloom Room wowed everyone with their flowers and Jeremy Russell was the perfect photographer to capture the day.  THANK YOU, Jeremy, for all of these pictures!

Thank you to Jamie and Caroline with Capello Salon for Avery’s (and her girls) makeup and hair!

Before the guests arrived at the ceremony, Avery and Nick wanted to see each other…I just love this picture of Nick waiting on his bride-to-be.

Avery and her mama…

Avery and her daddy…

Rhythm Nation definitely got everyone dancing and having a good time!

I thought this was such a precious picture of Avery, Nick and Avery’s parents…a lot of emotion here.

Falon’s bridal portraits are so beautiful, not only because Two Ring Studios does great work, but because Falon is a fabulous model!  She is so gorgeous, and I thought you all would enjoy!  Pictures of their wedding on the Biltmore Estate to come soon…

What a sweet and adorable couple Emily and John are!  Even though they were both students at Wake Forest University, they did not meet one another until studying abroad in Sicily.  After leaving Sicily, John wrote to Emily everyday for a month in a journal, then later sent the journal to her.  SO romantic!!

Emily and John were married at the Basilica of St. Lawrence, and Emily looked breathtaking in her Monique Lhullier dress.  I loved this dress because the tulle skirt was detachable, so she looked like she was wearing a totally different dress at the reception.

Since they met in Sicily and it was a place that was dear to both of their hearts, we made sure it was sprinkled throughout the wedding reception.  Each table was named after a place that John and Emily visited, plus they included pictures they took when they were there.  An assortment of gelato was served to the guests along with the wedding cake, and Limoncellos were given as favors.  Sweet peas, which are native to Sicily, were painted on to each invitation by the amazing Dana with A Fine Line Studio, and they were included in her bouquet.  Stacey with The Bloom Room was responsible for the beautiful flowers…she never ceases to amaze me with her art!  And a big thank you to Abigail Seymour, who I adore working with, for these stunning photos…enjoy!

Gelato!!  YUMMY!

One of the groomsmen sang a song to the bride and groom…he was really good!

Orange Krush definitely got the guests moving!

Kathryn and Doug were married in July at The Diana, which is located on the Biltmore Estate.  The views from The Diana are spectacular, as you have a perfect view of the Biltmore House and the mountains beyond.  I love this venue for a wedding and reception.

Kathyrn and Doug met while in school at Auburn, and they have been together for three and a half years.  They were very ready to get married and to spend their wedding weekend with friends and family.  I so enjoyed seeing Doug get so excited on the day of his wedding, and I especially enjoyed watching him as Kathryn rode up to the ceremony in a horse and carriage.  It was truly magical and very romantic!

Angela Stott Photography provided all these wonderful photographs for you to enjoy.  Thank you, Angela, for your exquisite work.
