Emily and Victor

I so enjoyed working with Emily and Victor. Not only do the bride and I share a name and a passion for event planning--we love ice cream cake. What else is there?! Emily and her mom designed a beautiful winter ceremony and reception at On Broadway on a perfectly wintry afternoon. Celine and Company's food was fabulous as always and Emily's hand-made decor of candles, flowers and silver was gorgeous. The couple was fortunate to have California-based Taylor Abeel as their wedding photographer. Here are just a few of the beautiful moments he captured at Grove Park Inn and On Broadway.

I had the privilege of meeting Sheridan with Sheridan Cupp photography when she took pictures of my girls recently. She captured such beautiful smiles in a studio atmosphere--just imagine what she could do at a wedding!

Kathleen's Tea Room

Have you been to Kathleen's Tea Room? It is a treasure find tucked away in Fletcher, just a few minutes from Hendersonville or Asheville, NC. The menu offers exquisite tea time, lunch and dinner choices--one of my favorites is the seafood quiche.

Kathleen's is located in a beautiful old house that is a great option for rehearsal dinners and bridal luncheons or showers. You might also order a catered tea sandwich tray for your bridal party on the wedding day for delicious treats that will get you through the festivity prep.

Reservations are recommended, so call soon to enjoy this treasure for yourself!
