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!

Here is a great overall shot of the property for the ceremony.

love the brass players for the ceremony!  {smokey mountain brass quintet}

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!

Check out mrs. wendy – fantastic asheville makeup artist!

ashley and ken chose to do a first look, and took advantage of some great time together for pictures over at the biltmore estate!

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!}

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

this wedding, this couple, the details, the glamour and the glitz.  i love it all.

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.

here are a few of my favorite detail shots…

moments after the ceremony…they took on downtown right outside of the wedding venue, Century Room at Packs Tavern.

and a few from the reception!  music provided by sound extreme

thanks to asheville wedding photographer, meriah mozingo, for turning us on to these master pieces!

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.

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!
