Leigh-Ervin and Will's Wedding at the Biltmore Estate

Leigh-Ervin and Will's wedding was magical! The ceremony took place at the Central United Methodist Church, in downtown Asheville. From there, guests made their way to the South Terrace of the Biltmore House just in time to see the sunset behind the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a cool fall evening...perfect for all the dancing that happened after dinner! I absolutely LOVED this gorgeous and very happy couple, and their wonderful families. Mostly I worked with Leigh-Ervin and her mother, Jo, on all the plans, and we just had the best time together. I want to thank them for being such amazing people to work, laugh and play with! :) It was sad to see the wedding end, but I am so happy for them! Thank you to Four Seasons Films for using your incredible talent to film this wedding, and to Corey McNabb for giving me so many fantastic pictures that I can't seem to narrow down! So, here are lots of pictures for my blog readers...the more pictures the better, right?! :)

I think this picture is so funny...

Stacey, with The Bloom Room, blew me away with her flowers at this wedding...

Yes, that is Leigh-Ervin's manicured toes...this was the first glimpse at the aisle she would soon walk down! It was a great moment...

Leigh-Ervin's dress was stunning....a blush Vera Wang...

All their guests wrote a note, a wish, and/or a prayer to the bride and groom to keep forever!

Dana with A Fine Line does the best calligraphy in the world! I don't know how she does it!

A trunk full of flip flops for those weary feet....especially for those ladies wearing heels! So much more fun to dance in flip flops! :)

Loved Leigh-Ervin's dad...life of the party!

Photographers, Corey McNabb and Bob Davis, in the background. Bob Davis came from Chicago to second shoot for Corey. It was great getting to know him and seeing his talent...

A fifteen-minute display of fireworks was a highlight for Leigh-Ervin, Will and all of their guests...

The End!

New Year's Eve Wedding at Homewood

I had an amazing New Year's Eve this year, because I was able to be a part of a wedding of two very special people! Nikki and Allen (who both live in New York) wanted a wedding in the gorgeous Asheville, North Carolina where Allen grew up. They chose to have their ceremony at Homewood where the candlelight bounced off the crystals and dark cherry walls. Then, the guests enjoyed dinner and dancing at sleek and classy Coleman Place. I love that they wanted their wedding on such a fun day, as there is so much to celebrate! Nikki and Allen, and their families, were so wonderful to work with...I just loved them all! One of the 'events' I really looked forward to was the couple's first dance because they are both very talented swing dancers. They did not disappoint! I was very impressed! Because they love dancing and music, we named the tables after their favorite swing/jazz musicians and entertainers. So fun! I love how Katy Cook captured this evening full of sparkle, fun, love and new beginnings!

Lovely blooms by The Purple Iris!

Nikki and Allen had polaroid cameras for their guests to take pictures of themselves throughout the evening. Once they took the pictures, they placed it in an album and wrote a note to the happy couple!
