Laura & John, Asheville Destination Wedding at the Bed and Breakfast on Tiffany Hill

Some weddings are just the sweetest--and Laura and John's at the Bed and Breakfast at Tiffany Hill tops the list.  Laura and John chose this location to celebrate with family and friends for a summer wedding.  We used lots of local flowers and had a wonderful time participating in the celebration of this couple's love.  Enjoy these photos from our friend, Cami Calnan, and note the lovely details.  I absolutely adore the bride's jewelry, dress and shoes!  They are perfect for a garden wedding.

Stephanie and Rodney -- Destination Autumn Wedding in Asheville, NC

Did I love this wedding?  Let me count the ways...

1.  Beautiful people!  Inside and out, Stephanie and Rodney, their families and friends were so generous, kind and flat out fun.
2.  Perfect weather.  It was the kind of weather that people would pay big money to have on their day.
3.  Excellent professionals.  Stephanie and Rodney had a knack (and ok, they followed my recommendations pretty well :), for choosing some amazing pros to work at their wedding.  This made a huge difference in the atmosphere for their wedding.  It was organized, relaxed and FUN!
4.  Location, location, location.  Have you ever been to the Crest?  If not, you are missing a treat.  The view stretches for miles and the Pavilion embodies all of the wonderful outdoorsy-ness while remaining elegant and easily accessible. 

5.  Maybe I'll just let you take a look at these photos from our friends at Visio to see why I can go on and on about this wedding...  Enjoy!

Wedding love,
Emily

Poppin's Posies -- WNC Flower Farm

Hello Friend,

You've probably noticed that I LOVE fresh flowers.  I just can't get enough time in the studio, or just walking around my own yard discovering the flowers poking their heads up for sunshine.  There is something about a flower that feels delicate and brave all at one time.  After all, it can withstand all kinds of outdoor elements, but the minute you cut it, it begins to die.  Flowers remind me of music, here for a moment, then a beautiful memory.

When designing for clients, we love to use local flowers from gardens in our community.  Poppin's Posies in Mills River is our favorite.  Judy and her husband coax the most beautiful blooms out of their well tended gardens.  Enjoy these fresh pics from Cami Calnan Photography.

Beate & Randy - intimate destination wedding in the mountains of Western North Carolina

Beate and Randy celebrated their marriage at one of our favorite, most intimate of locations, the Bed and Breakfast on Tiffany Hill.  Randy was dressed out in very impressive ribbons and bows that I cannot even imagine the meaning of, but knew enough to be sincerely grateful for his many years of service to our country.  Beate is from Germany and her soft way and voice made her a delight for a cold January wedding day. We wish them all the best and know that many adventures lie ahead for this couple!

Photos courtesy of Camilla Calnan Photography.  As you can tell below, 
she is a genius when it comes to capturing the perfect moment.

Beautiful, personalized ceremony from our friend, Rev Fred Werhan.







We like to stick one of these photos of myself or the other coordinators in every once in awhile, just to prove we really do work.  :)  In this picture, I am thinking about what a great job I have, and how fortunate I am to work with wonderful people!


Please note cake decor from Callie's Confections matched the shoes, which matched the flowers, which matched the blue in Randy's uniform!  I love that Beate decided to incorporate a theme into her intimate elopement!






xoxo,
Emily
