Planning an Asheville Wedding at a Private Home

Tuesday, March 6, 2012 Posted in asheville, nc weddings, real weddings

Planning a wedding on a private property or private home is no easy feat. It can be wonderful because often the place will have special meaning to you – but there are definitely a lot more logistics and things to consider when you do this. The best advice we can give is to have a good wedding team on your side. Enlist professionals in all areas who can really take care of all the small details, or any snafus that come up along the way. After all – it’s your day to be married!! Not to be worried about how the chairs are set up, how the ice is going to stay frozen, or who is going to flip the tent {see below!} To name just a couple, you have to have a great rental company and if you are transporting your guests, a great transportation company. We recommend Classic Event Rental and Blue Ridge Limo …they are fantastic! Both of these Asheville wedding vendors were on board for this wedding!

Heather and Ramon entrusted us with their day on a beautiful sunny day last summer at the bride’s parents home in Whittier, NC. Spectacular views, and a spectacular space. Many thanks to Corey McNabb for the great images from the day ; New Mountain Events from Franklin took care of all the floral ; Celine and Co. for the catering ; Tiffany’s Baking Co. for the fun and yummy cake ; and Amanda, Asheville hair artist at The Secret Spa!

Below you can see how we flipped the tent from ceremony to reception. Guests were up towards the house for cocktail hour, as we had 4 staff flip this tent for 200 people in 45 minutes.

They were then ready to party the night away!

the ceremony took place on the terrace of the grand bohemian. spectacular!

a little bit traditional, a little bit glam, a little bit of romantic, and a touch of feathers…all tied up nicely in a bow! ashley knew exactly the look she wanted, and it was beautiful! asheville wedding florist, studio flora diva, executed to the tee. they cake was by asheville cake baker, tiffany’s baking company. did you notice the cake resembled the design of ashley’s kate spade shoes? {love me some kate spade!}

asheville wedding details

and i just have to include some pictures of the fantastic wedding team in action. you see, the day of the rehearsal, i had a family emergency, and had to make a trip to columbia, sc. these asheville wedding pros {including all the ones mentioned above} were the most supportive and caring people to work with. i am lucky enough to call them my wedding family. below you will see asheville wedding dj, mr.c’s mobile dj ; asheville minister, tim lolley ; and not pictured, asheville ceremony musicians, braidstream music, asheville wedding venue, the grand bohemian

brittany from our team took care of the rehearsal, as i was away. i LOVE the picture of ashley seeing me on the wedding day, and her sweet hug that followed. this family, on the day of the wedding, the first thing they asked me was how was i doing. not anything about the wedding, but how i personally was doing. on one of the biggest days in their lives. i am beyond thankful to work with clients that are just so genuine. so to the owens and gamble families, i thank you from the bottom of my heart. you have no idea how much your caring meant to me. xoxo ~ nicole

asheville weddings :: michelle + john

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 Posted in real weddings

michelle and john. i had an immediate connection with them and we had such a fun planning experience together! michelle and i still chat via facebook…i think we both had a little withdrawal once the wedding was over. both were so sweet, so genuine, and i cannot wait to see them again soon!

hope you enjoy their pics as much as i did. they had a very clear vision and style of what they wanted in their photographer, and asheville wedding photographer, mozingo photography, nailed it.

the rug at the ceremony had an image of a cat that looked like their beloved cat who had recently passed. love this personal touch. ceremony was framed by a vintage door and simple floral on either side. provided by the oh-so-talented, asheville wedding florist, studio flora diva. asheville makeup artist, blush by wendy ballance and asheville wedding hair artist, amanda from the secret spa created michelle’s wedding day look…beautiful.

asheville weddings :: a look at the color of the year!

Thursday, February 2, 2012 Posted in daily dose of wedding inspiration

when pantone announced their color of the year…i was so excited to see #17-1463 … tangerine tango! and then i thought, what a bold color. some brides might want to have a softer look than bright tangerine. so i started playing around on pinterest {post coming on my latest obsession} and came up with a more romantic way to use this hot color for your asheville wedding {or anywhere else for that matter}.

what do you think?! wanna see more of my pics from pinterest? follow us here! xoxo, nicole

asheville weddings :: larissa + james

Monday, January 23, 2012 Posted in asheville, nc weddings, real weddings

The ceremony was on a knoll overlooking the river below – just breathtaking. While it was freezing and foggy leading up to the ceremony time, at just the right moment, the sun came out and the winds subsided!

Couple tied a knot in a rope during ceremony – God’s knot

asheville_wedding_planner_asheville_wedding_details

absolutely adorable sums up this amazing wedding! larissa + james enlisted our team led by maria with our girl brittany assisting to help with their big day on a private property on cold mountain. and boy, the mountain sure lived up to its name! in the hours before the ceremony, james was trying to get larissa to change the ceremony location because it was so windy and cold on the knoll…but no go with larissa! she wanted the ceremony where she wanted it, and in the end turns out the bride was right! we added sidewalls to the tent where dinner was to be held at the final hour {literally, 1 hour before guests began to arrive! another reason to have a planner. just sayin’} the ceremony was on a knoll overlooking the river below – just breathtaking. while it was freezing and foggy leading up to the ceremony time, at just the right moment, the sun came out and the winds subsided!

and maybe the cutest story ever. james sent larissa a text on the morning of the wedding, and it went a little something like this…

james – want to get together later?

larissa – yeah, i have nice new dress to wear.

james – let’s meet at 5pm up on the knoll”

gives me goosebumps!!!

details we love! a smores display {that’s right, smores on a stick!} gave the guests their seating assignments and the smore’s could be used at the bonfire on the property. wishing stones for the guests! pies instead of cake! delicious.

asheville_wedding_planners_vintage_details

and they ended the night with a final song of mrs. robinson…a nod to the new last name! they are just too freaking cute!

and of course, none of this is possible without an amazing, amazing vendor team. huge shout out to all these fab wedding pros! thank you to the amazing asheville wedding vendors of studiowed asheville!
