Casey and Aaron's Wedding

Casey and Aaron are two wonderful people and their wedding brought tears to my eyes. They adore each other and have so much fun together! Their love and happiness was so obvious in their wedding. One of my favorite elements was the entire color scheme based on their favorite sports teams: Duke and the Indianapolis Colts. Steve from Merrimon Florist did a great job making the deep blue center stage.

I told you the bride is fun!!!

Don't let the serious faces fool you. These guys were some of the most easygoing groomsmen I've ever met. And they can dance!

Casey and Aaron, along with their families, share a beautiful faith that was celebrated in the ceremony (Pastor Jimmy Dykes and North Asheville Baptist Church). I love the deep blue background that matched the colors all throughout the day.

Delicious cake by Callie's Confections. Don't you love the blown glass topper? Before college, Casey worked for a blown glass company in Indiana--they loved her (just like the rest of us) and gave her this amazing piece and the accompanying champagne glasses.

A beautiful photo of the bride and her father's dance.

The Crowne Plaza served a delicious Italian buffet. I loved the cannoli and the tiramisu. In fact, this picture is dangerous--makes me wish for more!

Is a wedding official without a getaway car? I think Casey and Aaron are covered!

Thanks to Jeff Blake of Columbia Wedding Photos for these great pictures!

Teresa and Phil

I'm so excited to post these pictures from Teresa and Phil's wedding on July 4th. They married at a private lodge next to a fresh, clear mountain river. They are a sweet, sweet couple with really fun family and friends! Color was one of the highlights of the day for me. Teresa incorporated vibrant shades into her florals, shoes, and of course the fabulous fuschia lipstick on all the women of the wedding party.

Fresh lemonade! Teresa and Phil had a lemonade welcome table for their guests. What could be better on a hot Fourth of July?

Gorgeous details in the cake by Asheville Cake Company. My first ever "log" cake stand and I'm LOVING it! Teresa and her girls put together all the centerpieces and other small arrangements like you see in this picture.
The hanging twine balls with twinkle lights from Classic Event Rental gave an elegant, yet outdoorsy ambiance to the tent. And I wish you could hear DJ Dylan Skidmore of Blazin Sounds who provided great entertainment for HOURS of dancing.
Excellent (and very attractive) food from 28806. Kudos to Stacey and crew.

This photo is beautiful, classic Angela Stott Photography. You don't even have to know these people to wish you could have a copy hanging in your living room!

Teresa asked for something creative from Steve at Merrimon Florist and he totally caught her vision. Long grasses, bells of ireland, a seed pod (!) and pops of fuschia and yellow.
