I had an amazing New Year’s Eve this year, because I was able to be a part of a wedding of two very special people! Nikki and Allen (who both live in New York) wanted a wedding in the gorgeous Asheville, North Carolina where Allen grew up. They chose to have their ceremony at Homewood where the candlelight bounced off the crystals and dark cherry walls. Then, the guests enjoyed dinner and dancing at sleek and classy Coleman Place. I love that they wanted their wedding on such a fun day, as there is so much to celebrate! Nikki and Allen, and their families, were so wonderful to work with…I just loved them all! One of the ‘events’ I really looked forward to was the couple’s first dance because they are both very talented swing dancers. They did not disappoint! I was very impressed! Because they love dancing and music, we named the tables after their favorite swing/jazz musicians and entertainers. So fun! I love how Katy Cook captured this evening full of sparkle, fun, love and new beginnings!

Nikki and Allen had polaroid cameras for their guests to take pictures of themselves throughout the evening. Once they took the pictures, they placed it in an album and wrote a note to the happy couple!
