I can’t say enough about this sweet, genuine, super friendly couple…Amber and Michael.  I am so so elated to have been a part of their planning, and of course, their wedding day.  They are BEAUTIFUL inside and out, and I am thrilled for them.  Amber and Michael were married on the veranda at the Lioncrest, located on the Biltmore Estate.  After guests enjoyed a cocktail hour up in the ballroom, we transformed the veranda and courtyard into a stunning space for their dinner and dancing.  It was a perfect evening, for a simply perfect couple.  The Bloom Room completely blew me away with their decor and floral, and Krista Lee captured this evening beautifully.  Thank you to everyone involved!

Their wedding programs were also their escort cards…double use!

Momentum Band did a great job getting everyone on the dance floor, and Michael and Amber are quite the dancers!!

Okay, so be prepared for a lot of pictures, because I loved everything about this wedding.  Caris and Matt were the kindest, most fun, carefree couple, and I simply adored them.  Their love for life, for Christ, for their families and friends, and for each other was so inspiring and beautiful.  They had their ceremony and reception at a great new venue called Yesterday’s Spaces.  For the ceremony, the guests and bridal party passed through a pathway of trees that opened up into a field over looking the mountains.  Couldn’t have been a better set up by nature!  Then the guests enjoyed delicious food by The Colorful Palate,  s’mores by the bonfire, and dancing to the band, Ascension late into the night.  A simply perfect evening!  Thank you to Caris, Matt and their families for allowing me to be a part.

Also a HUGE thank you to Jennifer Crook Photography for all the amazing pictures!

It was a gorgeous fall day when Alyson and Alex were married at the First Congregational Church in downtown Asheville.  Alyson was radiant, and you could tell that Alex was so proud to her husband.  Love my job!!    I really enjoyed getting to know Alyson and Alex throughout the wedding planning process.  It was important to them that music was incorporated throughout the reception at the Crest Pavilion, as they both love music and Alex plays the bass and electric guitar.  What a fun and creative time we had with this!  Their guests got their ‘tickets (escort cards)’ from Will Call, each table was named after their favorite bands, Wines That Rock were featured on each table, candles were wrapped in musical notes, and guests signed one of Alex’s guitars for their ‘guest book’.  Their band, A Social Function, blew everyone away and guests danced the night away.  It was a beautiful evening for a fabulous couple.  So happy for them!  Thank you to The Bloom Room for the stunning fall floral.  Simply perfection.  So excited that Two Ring Studios was on hand as their photographers, as their pictures always rock (okay, that was cheesy, but true!).

Sara and Ben were married in August at the always lovely Deerpark, located on The Biltmore Estate.  The weather threatened to get in the way, but just in time, the skies cleared and Sara and Ben were able to have the wedding that had dreamed of.  Love!  Two Ring Studios was there to capture this sweet couple as they said their vows, dined with their guests, and danced the night away.  Thank you, Two Rings, for the fabulous pictures!  Also thank you to The Bloom Room, for enhancing the beauty of the Deerpark with your floral design.  It was a great evening for all!

I was uber thrilled to hear that Lauren and Chad’s wedding made the cover of Carolina Bride High Country Magazine!  Thank you to Woodward + Rick for taking such fantastic pictures that they just had to publish this!  Plus, Lauren and Chad are like models themselves, so they made every picture fabulous!    Thank you, Carolina Bride for featuring this wedding at The Biltmore Estate.  You can see my blog post about this wedding here, and Woodward + Rick’s blog post here.

What a fabulous couple Melissa and Casey make! I had so much fun working with Melissa and her mom, Sharon, on this very special wedding. Melissa was truly stunning, and she could not have looked happier. The wedding took place on the Sammon’s Balcony at the Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa, and the reception was held in the Skyline Room. Stacey with The Bloom Room blew us all away with her gorgeous floral. Thank you SO much to Jeremy Russell for the exquisite photography…they were blessed to have you capturing their event. Take a look!

Melissa and Casey gave all of their guests this adorable Asheville bag from The Darling Bee!

Katie and John are a gorgeous couple, and as sweet as they come.  The decided to have their ceremony at the spectacular St. Lawrence Basilica in downtown Asheville for an afternoon wedding.  Guests then made their way through the grounds of the historic Biltmore Estate to the Lioncrest for dinner and dancing.  It was a romantic and perfect day for Katie and John, and I could not be happier for them.  Abigail Seymour was on site as their photographer, and the results are breathtaking…enjoy!

The Bloom Room created such soft and lush floral for Katie and John’s wedding!

Cameron and Tommy were married on a beautiful afternoon this past May at the Cliffs Glassy Chapel.  After exchanging vows, they celebrated in style with a heavy hors d’oeuvres reception at the Cliffs Valley Country Club.  Cameron and Tommy were so radiant, and such a joy to watch on their wedding day.  Thank you to Olivia Griffin Photography for the lovely pictures, to The Bloom Room for your romantic floral, and to all that were involved in making this wedding a success!   Also, we can’t forget to thank, Lilly Pulitzer, for making an appearance in many places throughout this wedding process!    Cameron loves her some Lilly!

Enjoy!

Cameron was so sweet to give all of her bridesmaids Lilly dresses to get ready in!

Boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  Yum!

II adore this picture of Cameron’s parents…so much love…precious.

The reactions of the girls during the bouquet toss is hilarious! 

Liz and Jaco are a stunning couple, who have it all going for them…they are super sweet, gorgeous to look at, very smart, and certainly in love!  I really enjoyed getting to know them as individuals and as a couple, and also working with Liz’s parents was a pleasure.  The wedding ceremony was held at the majestic Cliffs Glassy Chapel, while the reception was at the Cliffs Glassy Clubhouse.  Everyone had an amazing time, and it was so much fun to watch!  Thank you to Jacob Dean Photography for these fabulous pictures…

I love fall weddings, and this one was no exception.  Anna and Lee’s much anticipated day was simply perfect, and I loved seeing them so happy.  They were fortunate to have an incredible photographer, Abigail Seymour, capturing the day, and their pictures are fabulous!  The ceremony took place out on the terrace of the Lioncrest, located on the historic Biltmore Estate.  As guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres upstairs in the ballroom, the terrace was transformed into their dinner reception.  It was a fun and magical night for all, and I was so happy to be a part!

I just love it when daddy's first see their little girls...
