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.

Clarke and Hardy's Wedding

Image from the Pretty Place website

Clarke and Hardy married in the Spring at Pretty Place with reception following at the Robin Hood Barn in Sherwood Forest.  It only made sense that they celebrated in the southern mountains as many of the family and guests came from deep South cities such as Memphis and Atlanta.  I loved their accents and southern class!  Guests enjoyed perfect weather and a weekend full of fun events.  Many of the friends and family stayed at local bed and breakfasts Tiffany Hill in Mills River and Red House Inn in Brevard.  Delicious meals for the weekend came from the Hob Knob in Brevard 

and 12 Bones in Asheville.

 The Occasions by Emily design team had the remarkable fortune of listening to Clarke's design ideas and making them happen, just as she pictured!  We were so excited to see the look of satisfaction on her face when she entered the room.

 

 

Clarke was too sweet when she asked for a photo with her VERY pregnant wedding planner!  We had such a great time working together.  As usual, I miss her now that her wedding's over...Clarke, if you're reading, please write to me.  :)
