an old edwards inn wedding | kendra + jeff are married!

this wedding post is way… way overdue. you see, kendra and jeff’s wedding in highlands, nc at the old edwards inn and spa was nothing short of a dream to plan and design.  and we had to wait a bit, as the wedding was being published on martha stewart!  {yay!} so much to say about this sweet couple… they were amazing. they had puggles. they had great taste. they hired a great wedding team. and they trusted us.  what more could we ask for?!

there are so many great images from nancy ray photography, we decided to do 2 posts… one for the wedding, and one specifically for the design process.  we hope you enjoy as much as we do!

moments before the ceremony…

one of my favorite details… one of the signature drinks at the cocktail hour were beer flights, a nod to their love of travel and trying new beers in different locations.

the couple had a private dinner after pictures before heading to the reception.  what an incredible time to be able to just soak in the moment. and eat. seriously, how cute is this setup?!

a snapshot of the days leading up to a backyard wedding. not shown? the months and hours the family spent getting their property ready to host a luxury wedding at their home in the mountains. it does not all "just come together" - it takes so much time, and so many people to bring the vision to life! 3 days before there was nothing short of 50 people onsite laying the groundwork for the tent, the catering kitchen, the bars, the ceremony..... it takes a village y'all!⁠
