Erin & Adam - July 18, 2009 - NC Arboretum

We got some more wonderful pictures from Jesse Kitt today...
Erin & Adam were the first couple to be married at the N.C. Arboretum.
Their July 18 ceremony was unique in many ways....
The day could not have been more perfect.

Some of the elements included in the ceremony were circles and sea glass.
The cocktail hour prior to the ceremony was held in the circular Blue Ridge Court.
Each guest chose a piece of sea glass that Erin & Adam had provided from their personal collection during the cocktail hour.
During the ceremony each guest came up and dropped their sea glass into a vase.

The ceremony was written by Erin, Adam and their parents. (There was actually a 5 page script!) References were made to sea glass and the change it goes through in life. Both of Adam's parents are ministers and Erin's father as well so all 4 parents participated in the ceremony!
It was one of the most original and touching ceremonies I have seen.

Jesse Kitt captured the couple in a variety of locations at the Arboretum.

Jessica from Aria Floral provided additional sea glass as part of the decor.
The living arrangements were the perfect addition to the ambiance.

The couple chose to serve Pie's from Picnic's and Candy Apples for the kids from Kilwin's. Gotta love the Bride and Groom Candy Apples...

For a favor the very environmentally conscious couple chose to give personalized tree saplings to their guests. The N.C. Arboretum strives to be a green venue and encourages couples to choose environmentally friendly and sustainable vendors.

Thank you to all the wonderful vendors that helped make the first wedding at the Arboretum such a successful event!

Welcome Reception at The Beaufort House!

Asheville Event Co. had a busy Labor Day weekend planning and coordinating three events. We had such a blast that we wanted to post a couple of photos right away! We loved working with the owners of The Beaufort House Bed and Breakfast to host a welcome reception for nearly 100 people for Jamie and Bryan. We tented their beautiful side lawn between the grape vine and a huge, old tree and right next to the stunning Wisteria Arbor. The guests were able to flow freely between the tented area through their gardens, the wrap-around porch and throughout the inn. We always love working with Classic Event Rental for all our rental needs including the great burlap linens and mason jars for the lemonade and tea bar. Those Girls from the Colorful Palate created a delicious menu of Beef Sliders, Chicken Sates, Sun-dried Tomato Corn Fritters and a Bruschetta Bar. And the mini desserts from Eat Dessert First were tiny works of art!

Brianne's Bridal portraits at the Arboretum...

Craig from Luster Studios in Raleigh shot these beautiful pictures of Brianne at the
NC Arboretum. We got lucky with the weather and had an hour to capture our bride with the misty mountains behind her. The Arboretum has so many beautiful spaces for wedding ceremonies and photo shoots. Asheville Event Co. is working with Brianne on her December 2009 wedding at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville.

Thanks For All The Love!!

"Dear Melissa & Becca, I truly can not thank you enough for all that you did to make our wedding absolutely perfect! From setting us up with the best vendors to putting little stamps on the lavender bags. You are amazing! I didn't expect or imagine it would turn out as beautiful, natural and magical as it was. It would not have been possible without you! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!"
