Wendy & Scott's Wedding - May 23, 2009

We were so excited to be a part of Wendy and Scott's wedding at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC on May 23!

The ceremony took place on the Carriage House lawn right next to the Ashley River and the reception was in the Carriage House, although the weather was so nice some guests enjoyed the party on the veranda.

These fabulous photos are courtesy of King Street Studios in Charleston. Thanks Reese and Todd! We look forward to working with you again!

Wendy looks radiant walking down the aisle with her dad!

This three-tiered cake by Jim Smeal Cakes was beautiful!
The fabulous menu of traditional low country eats by Carolina Catering included Charleston Crab Dip, Pimento Cheese Spread, Fried Green Tomatoes with Smoked Tomato Jam and Black Eyed Pea Corn Relish, Blue Cheese Cole Slaw, Shrimp, Grits and Andouille Sausage and Seared Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes.

Scott works in the film industry so Wendy surprised him with this great cake also by Jim Smeal Cakes.

I had to include this photo of the flower girl and her little friends dancing. It's so cute!

Wendy and Scott look so happy! Congratulations! We loved being a part of your wedding!

"Thanks so much for thinking of Second Bloom last weekend. The flowers went to five different places: Highland Farms, Deerfield, Shadybrook, Golden Living and The McCune Center. They brought activity, smiles and joy to over 200 residents at these facilities.

What a colorful display they all made in the back of the truck. I appreciated your call and look forward to working with you again."

Happy Blooming,

Becca:
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Hawaii!! It was the crowning glory to an unbelievable experience. The events of "The Weekend!" went flawlessly, thanks to you. I know I had the vision but you were able to see it and translate it beautifully into everything I wanted it to be.
I can recommend you and Asheville Event Co. without reservation for assistance with any event, regardless of size or budget.
Perhaps we can do it again for our 60th Wedding Anniversary?
Thanks again for everything.
Charlene and Charles Thomas

Charlene & Charles Vow Renewal at Biltmore

Charlene & Charles were married on June 6th, 1970. Together with their family they renewed their vows on the Vista behind the Inn on Biltmore.

A Champagne Bar Ice Sculpture from Masterpiece Ice was a refreshing treat for guests as they arrived on the Belvedere Veranda.

The decor for the reception included Charlene's favorite color purple, peacock feathers, faberge eggs and gold accents. She had saved items from her first wedding and incorporated them throughout the weekend.

Charlene & Charles included the original cake topper and cake knife from their June 6th, 1970 nuptiuals. There were various displays with photos from their wedding, Charlene's first wedding gown, tickets from their honeymoon and tickets from the Biltmore Estate.

The Inn on Biltmore did a fantastic job. From the lobster tail and filet mignon to the Faberge Egg Cake every detail that Charlene envisioned came to life. Classic Event Rentals provided rentals, The beautiful flowers came from Clement's Florist, Amy from Alpine Photography covered the wedding weekend, Split Second Sound and the Doug Burnes Band provided entertainment throughout the night.
