Jen and Wes

There is no order at all to the weddings I'm sharing, but I am BLOGGING!

Jen and Wes married in May at Castle Ladyhawke. One of our first weddings in the year, they reminded us of what a privilege it is to serve at weddings. They and their families were so kind and appreciative of the work each of the vendors gave them. More than that, they were sweet to each other...something I'm pretty sure is key to a happy marriage! Here are the photos to prove it by the just as wonderful photographer duo, James and Jenny of Visio!

Josie and Andrew

This day is feeling so autumn-like. There are even fallen yellow leaves on my back deck--beautiful. I love the sense of peace this season brings. Oh yes, and excitement! Fall is our BUSIEST time of the year because so many people want to get married with God's hand-painted mountain majesty as their backdrop.

To get you in the mood for fall... here are some AMAZING photos by Caroline Ghetes of Josie and Andrew's wedding at Castle Ladyhawke last October. For many, many more photos (that I know you'll want to see), look up Caroline's blog here.

Beautiful Video Footage from ZoMei:

AND...you can see it in the Knot online...

AND...you can see it in the current edition of the Knot NC (sadly with no credit given to us...sniff, sniff)

Yes, Caroline Ghetes is just that awesome of a photographer and this wedding was just that gorgeous! Thank you, Josie and Andrew, for allowing us the privilege of being part of a most important day!

Happy Labor Day!

Florals by Occasions by Emily

For the first time since March, I realized that I have not posted anything at all since March! I promise, the Occasions by Emily team has not been on holiday! We have had a blast in 2011 with amazing clients, fabulous design jobs, new venues, continuing education, writing articles for online and print and of course, everything else we do in life! But I just can't keep all the beautiful things we've seen to myself anymore. I'll be working hard over the next few weeks to bring you up to date... For this holiday weekend, here are a few of our favorite photos featuring sunflower weddings!
