an asheville wedding at the grand bohemian :: jess + fabio are married!

jess and fabio’s wedding was fabulous in every way possible! they loved traveling, especially since fabio is straight from sicily and jess is a southern louisiana girl (all things french + cajun!). the ceremony took place at the gorgeous st. lawrence basilica in downtown asheville followed by the reception at the ever fabulous grand bohemian.

verge worked with them on the planning and design of their bling wedding. initially we started with branches as centerpieces and a darker feel with mahogany chivaris and a dose of vintage but once jess saw a crystal candleabra the glam was on! we switched it up and went for clean white lines and crystals. our color palette played with lilac, darker purple and gray and obviously bling! since jess LOVES flowers, we did a mock up – linen swatches, floral and tablescape design and to say the least we had a great time showing jess a sneak peak to her blinged out wedding.

and let’s not forget the suspended cake! seriously unbelievable, although a little stressful for the wedding planners!

please be seated 🌿🪑🌿 a beautiful way to welcome your guests! ⁠
⁠
also, these things just do not line up on the first go 🤣 and the moss wall does not just stand up on its own [thank you @floressenceflowers!] there is math involved, a person on a chair, and someone telling said person on the chair if it is even, and so many push pins! and if it is raining, which it was, you have to make sure the paper doesn't get all damp and not lay right!⁠
we keep saying it, and we will say it again - details matter.⁠

thank you for the capture @rachelandnoahray with @floressenceflowers @lakeedenretreat @professionalparty!
A moment for the cake and the florals 🌸🍰🌸⁠ One thing we always hear - how can we reuse the flowers from the ceremony? if you have ground floral behind the chairs at ceremony, those can be moved during cocktail hour and placed before your guests enter the reception! bonus points if no one sees you do it ;) also... an arbor just c.a.n.n.o.t be moved in its entirety, so if repurposing is important to you, this is something to think about!⁠

shoutout to the team! @flatmountainfarm @floressenceflowers @eastcoastentertainment @dollboxproductions @professionalparty⁠
