Old Edwards Inn is a venue we always feel very lucky to plan and design weddings with. It’s one of the venues in North Carolina that is just the perfect mix of southern elegance and mountain magic. Emily and Tyler were married there in September during football season (more on that later), and we thought it would be the perfect wedding to visit on this fantastic Friday. And if you’re not having a fantastic Friday, well then, take a quick break, make yourself a cup of coffee and peruse this picturesque wedding.
Part 1: The Planning
Verge Events was referred to Emily and Tyler by a past client. Actually more specifically we were referred to them by a couple who had previously been our clients, who had been referred by another couple who had been our clients, who had been referred by yet another couple who had been our clients. Yes, they were number five in a client referral chain – we’ve been trying to beat that record ever since!

And it almost didn’t happen with Verge Events – why? because Tyler and Emily are die hard Clemson fans, and if you know anything about our office we are Cocks all the way! Ok just kidding (but not about the South Carolina part), they didn’t go running for the door. Everyone agreed that there would be no talk of football (ok occasionally there was some good natured smack talk), but the wedding would need to be planned around the season schedule.

And in spite of the garnet/orange color war quietly going on behind the scenes Emily and Tyler and their fantastic families became friends of ours. This fantastic Southern couple loves to hunt, {Emily once killed a bear!} They incorporated so much of who they are and what they love into this wedding that it made it a dream to plan and design (more on design next week). It was a beautifully elegant night, guests sat down to an incredible meal and danced the night away, and no one worried about the score, because Clemson wasn’t playing! It’s a real thing to plan your date around football in the south, and we are in full support.
