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!
