I loved every aspect of Stephanie and Adam’s wedding day, because it was so intimate and precious.  To me, the ceremony began back in their hotel room, as they wanted to dress each other for the most special moment of their lives.  I just know it was like time stood still for them, and you can see this in Parker Pfister’s breathtaking photographs.  After going around the spectacular grounds of the Biltmore Estate for pictures, they joined their family for their ceremony in the Champagne Cellar.  Once the ceremony ended, their guests were delighted by a winery tour and tasting while the Cellar was transformed into their dinner reception.  A wonderful day…

Blossoms did a fabulous job creating a magical atmosphere for this intimate wedding…

Parker must have said something pretty funny to us… 

And now on to Part 2 of Carrie and Matt’s wedding weekend…the wedding day! Carrie and Matt’s said their vows to each other at the majestic and historic Basilica of St. Lawrence in downtown Asheville. From there, guests made their way to the Deerpark, on the Biltmore Estate. At first guests enjoyed a cocktail reception in the Lodge Room, which Carrie and Matt renamed the ‘Smooches Lounge’. Smoochtinis were served to the guests, a Smoochbooth was set up for guests to take fun pictures, lounge furniture was scattered throughout, and best of all there was a Lipologist there to entertain!   What is a Lipologist, you ask?  This is someone who ‘reads’ lip prints! There was lipstick laid out for both women and men so they could ‘smooch’ a piece of paper to make their lip print. Then the lipologist would tell them what their lip prints meant…the guests loved it! After leaving the smooch lounge, guests were escorted into a truly enchanting reception fit for a princess and her prince! One of my favorite moments was when Carrie and Matt saw their reception site for the first time…they just gasped and said how amazing it looked. I believe I even saw a few tears brimming…love that!  Check out Corey McNabb‘s imagery…he captured the event so perfectly…enjoy!

Makeup by Blush by Wendy…she is so good at her job!

Blossom’s really outdid themselves on this wedding…great job!

Matt, the groom, built the sweetheart booth…awesome!

All the tables were named after quotes from Disney movies.

Carrie and Matt had special plates made for their meal with their initials carved into the tree.

Matt built this bar especially for this day!

Everyone had an amazing time (as you can tell) dancing to the beats of DJ, Pat Lance, with Spintastic Sounds.

Late night snack of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches…yum!

And they lived happily ever after…

I am so happy for Debra and Tripp!  What a wonderful couple…always smiling, and it was contagious.   Their wedding took place on the Vista of the Inn on Biltmore Estate, with a reception following inside the Vanderbilt Ballroom.  I loved Debra’s colors of navy and apple green, and her classic but fun style.  Thank you to Blossoms for the floral design, and to Jeremy Russell for the perfect photography!  I guarantee these pictures will make you smile…the love and joy is so apparent in this gorgeous couple.

Anita and Michael were married on April 17th at the Inn on Biltmore Estate.  It was a lovely, intimate affair, and Michael and Anita were obviously very happy to finally be husband and wife!  Thank you to Regina Holder for the photographs, and to Blossoms for the sweet blooms!  Enjoy!

I LOVE the pink dogwoods…so pretty!

Wendy Ballance doing a fabulous job on makeup!

Michael and Anita met before the ceremony which gave them to time to calm their nerves and take some photographs together.

Vicky and Kevin were married on a beautiful March evening at the Biltmore Estate.  The ceremony took place in the historic Lodge Room at the Deerpark, followed by a dinner reception and dancing.  I just loved working with Vicky and Kevin.  Vicky knew what she wanted, made decisions quickly, and I enjoyed helping her make it come together.  Fun!  Blossoms did a beautiful job with the floral, and the amazing Abigail Seymour captured every sweet moment.  Thank you, Abigail, for sharing these pictures…

Beautiful shot, Abigail!

Stunning…

Everyone was having a great time dancing to the beats of Dylan Skidmore with Blazin Sounds Entertainment!

Alison and Daniel were married at the Deerpark on the Biltmore Estate in May.  They are such a stunning couple, as you will see by the pictures.  Their love for each other was pure, genuine, and incredibly sweet.  I loved watching them look at each throughout the day.  Gosh that sounds cheesy, but it is so true!    Blossoms at Biltmore Park did a beautiful job with the flowers.  For favors, Alison made apple butter for all of her guests and the groom’s mother made cookies.  What a special personal touch!  I also loved Alison and Daniel’s programs…they were handkerchiefs with all the information printed on them. Very unique!  Thank you to Studio 501 for letting me post these pictures!
