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!

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?!

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
