Heather and Brian, a Biltmore Garden Wedding

Biltmore Estate has more eye-pleasing locations to be married than I can count!  One of our all time favorites is the Butterfly Garden and Conservatory.  There is something simply magical about this location.  Rain or shine, it is a beautiful start to happily ever after.

Heather and Brian (two people who are way organized and super-kind--definitely made for each other) planned their wedding in the Garden for April.  While it turned out to be a little misty that day, the event still glowed with romance, tulips and FUN!  Enjoy these exceptional images from photographer, Angela Stott.

Dana and Paul's Wedding

As the days get warmer and we see summer sun--I'm reminded of this beautiful wedding we did at the Biltmore Estate last summer.  Paul and Dana had the perfect destination wedding at the Biltmore Estate.  Many of their guests were from the mid-west and got to enjoy local mountain activities such as mountain biking.  I was VERY concerned about the groom flying over his handlebars the day before the wedding.  Of course, mountain riding was a piece of cake for him and there were no scrapes and bruises present at the wedding.  Enjoy these beautiful photos by Tuesday's Frog.  The amazing florals by Blossoms at Biltmore Park.  

Such a sweet couple!

They all looked like models to me!  These women were so thoughtful and kind, too.

Loved Mom's bouquet of callas contrasted with the leopard print.  

Great invitation by custom designer in Chicago.

A great place for a party!

And one last kiss to end the night.  This couple is truly in love!

Wedding at the Conservatory on Biltmore Estate

Here are the amazing photos from Marcy and Brian's wedding. Angela Stott is a truly gifted photographer. I had trouble picking my favorites--so here are several. Enjoy!

Brian and Marcy are so happy to be together--can you tell? They are a delight to everyone around them!

Beautiful arrangment by the Bloom Room. The pin belongs to the Bride and echoes the peacock and art nouveau theme.

Another fabulous arrangment by the Bloom Room.

The tulips are always beautiful at Biltmore. They make a great background for a gorgeous Bride.

I love this--to me it symbolizes Marcy and Brian's family circle.

Isn't he handsome?

Marcy and Brian look like they just stepped out of the 1930's in the photograph. They couldn't be more "picture-perfect"!
