Jessica and Tyler - July 3, 2009

Jessica and Tyler got engaged on July 4th so it was important to them to have their wedding around the same time.
It was the PERFECT weekend in Asheville.
The staff at Homewood even commented on the incredible day we had.
The guests were able to enjoy a long weekend in Asheville, a fun and fabulous wedding and some fireworks on the 4th!!!

2&3 Photography out of Raleigh did a great job covering the wedding.
Many thanks to Thad, Sarah and Krista who are friends of the bride and groom

The Ceremony was held in the Glen across from Homewood.



The Heavy Hors D'oeuvres Reception was catered by those fabulous girls at The Colorful Palate.
Sarah from City Bakery created this beautiful and delicious cake and adorned it with incredible orchids from The Bloom Room


The guests partied well into the night and had a lot of fun dancing and singing...If only I could show you all the photos.
Check out our Facebook page for more photos.
Many thanks to all the wonderful vendors that helped make this wedding perfect!

Ansley & Jay's Movie Trailer!

Ansley and Jay were married at Lioncrest at the Biltmore Estate in June! What a beautiful and unique wedding! I can't wait to blog about it when all of the photos are ready by Amber Holritz for Corey McNabb Photography. In the meantime, Paul and Holley with Four Seasons Films shot this stunning movie trailer. Thanks so much Paul and Holley - You are always a pleasure to work with!

Elizabeth and Paul's Green Wedding!

We were so excited to be a part of this amazing couple's wedding! Elizabeth and Paul were married on top of Rich Mountain in Brevard, NC in June. They are really passionate about the environment and nature (Elizabeth is actually getting a master's degree in environmental studies!) so they asked us to help them plan their green wedding to reflect their personality! All of the printed material including the invitations, table cards, menu cards and programs were made from recycled and plantable material! Their save the date cards were a postcard from Carbonfund.org that were purchased in each guests name to offset their carbon footprint when they traveled to the wedding! And the venue they picked was just perfect! On top of a mountain with a 360 degree view!
Honour with HH Fine Art Photography has such an eye for incredible details. I love this shot of the rings!Elizabeth is sharing a moment with her dad as he walks her down the aisle!
Wendell, Elizabeth and Paul's dog, was the ring bearer!
Meredith with Aria Floral hand built the cross in the background from natural wood and sticks from the land. It's so beautiful!Elizabeth and Paul had guests write their wishes on recycled paper with environmentally-friendly pens and hang them on the wishing tree!
Elizabeth loves poppies and Meredith was able to find a local grower that had poppies in season!
Meredith with Aria Floral did a fabulous job with all of the flowers!
The little boys wore gray seersucker suits! So cute!
Aria Floral used river rocks, lanterns, greenery and local fruits and vegetables for the beautiful table decor! There were over 500 candles lit at their venue!
Elizabeth and Paul's signature cocktail was a Strawberry Mint Mojito made with locally grown strawberries and mint!
Instead of printing menu cards for every place setting we decided to utilize a reusable chalkboard to share the fabulous menu with all the guests. 28806 Catering provided a fabulous menu full of local meats, cheese and vegetables!
Elizabeth and Paul's bridesmaid, Kristin, made this wonderful cake, chocolate dipped strawberries and chocolate cupcakes with as many local and organic ingredients as she could find!
The toasts were just incredible!
They had such a great time! Thanks so much for letting us share in your special day!

Elizabeth & Paul Preview!








I'm so excited to post this wedding but I don't have all the fabulous photos from Honour Hiers Fine Arts Photography yet! Elizabeth and Paul are one of my favorite couples. We worked long and hard to create an entirely green wedding. I miss them already. There were tons of details to capture. More photos to come soon!

Elmer - Ansley & Jay's pug!




Tiffany's Baking Co. created this fabulous cake of Elmer, Ansley and Jay's pug, for their rehearsal dinner at the Grand Bohemian Asheville. The resemblance was so perfect and the work so detailed, (right down to Elmer's collar and tags!) I had to blog about it. Thanks Tiffany! Elmer was the fabulous ring bearer in their beautiful wedding at Biltmore Estate. More photos of Ansley, Jay's (and Elmer's) wedding coming soon!
