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.

Happy Monday! We did a beautiful wedding with an even more beautiful family this summer at Castle Ladyhawke. Kristin and her mom, Lisa, made the planning process so much fun! Every time we chatted by phone or met in person, we ended up in giggles because of the sweetness and humor these women can't help but share. Truth be told, we are a little sad the wedding is over because we were spoiled by their everyday joy. I hope you enjoy these photos from our new friends, Cathy and Chris, at TPS Photography!

Good Morning!

Online shopping is one of my favorite "hobbies" these days. The amount of amazing stuff available to our fingertips and credit cards is unbelievable! Here are a few adorable clutches I found that you might need for your bridesmaids. They will love you for your online shopping abilities if you present them with any one of these sassy bags!

Of course, I must start with a Kate Spade...

The "perfect" something blue

Then these fabulous treats on Etsy....

Reminds be a bit of the 80's and says PARTY like no other

Wouldn't these be great customized in your colors?

And this exceptionally elegant find from Mar y Sol...

Have a great Wednesday!

Instagram and Flowers

Yay for zinnia, dahlia and the last few hydrangea bushes still brave enough to blossom. I love fall, and truth be told, I wish I could spend all day in the floral studio celebrating with autumn blooms. Below are a few of the bouquets and other arrangements we've enjoyed creating this year. I've taken these shots on my iPhone, so had to razzle dazzle a few of them a bit through instagram. Hope you have fun looking through them and come up with some new ideas for your wedding!
