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.

Sarah and Drew

We love being at the Grove Park Inn, particularly when the weather is gorgeous and the wedding is outside!  For Sarah and Drew's wedding, we spent hours watching the sky and counting every rain drop, in hopes that there wouldn't be one too many that would send us indoors.  Everything turned out perfectly as you can see in these beautiful photos by Yasmine of Berkson Photography.

Guests were greeted on the Sammons Porch with glasses of champagne, white wine or perrier.  A classic, welcoming  touch on a hot June day.

Julie, in-house florist at the Grove Park Inn designed these stunning orchid bouquets and centerpieces.

I love place cards...

The lit globe floating above the guest tables is from Asheville Event Services.  The guests loved having a personal "moon"!

Sarah and her mom, Karen, are planners extraordinaire themselves!  We loved working with them and were thrilled to help them make all of their plans come together so perfectly.
