We love being an Asheville wedding planner… but do you know what else we love? Design. Design is inspiring, and we love being able to incorporate that piece of an event when we are planning it. We really love creating and executing a couples vision from their wedding. If you haven’t yet seen Anna Maria & Kelly’s wedding story blog post, go back and check it out… when you get back, we will talk about some of the details that made their day so fantastic 😉

Anna Marie and Kelly wanted to take their guests on a journey on their wedding day. They wanted each room/event at their wedding have a distinct and different feel.
The ceremony was to be all white, magical like a winter forest.
The cocktail hour should feel like an elegant cocktail hour in a decadent estate (not hard to do at the Grand Bohemian).
The reception should feel like a fancy masquerade ball.
While the guests were at reception, the ceremony space became a classic cigar lounge.
And what New Years Eve wedding is complete without a balloon drop?!?
Our favorite elements? A custom coat check with vintage decks of cards, the variety of all the masks for guests to enjoy and of course, the custom ice cream made just for the groom, the little animal structures tucked in by Flora, and the ice wall at the desserts!
Let’s start with that all white magical forest [one of Sarah’s favorite element!]… Â Our design team custom made this lace aisle runner, which paired beautifully with the details from Flora!
The cocktail space was lush and decadent. Â With family pictures tucked onto side tables, which really warmed up the space.
Gorgeous linens + elegant floral + beautiful ballroom = perfection. And when the lights went down, the custom lighting was a fantastic way to change up the room!
Above? We greeted all guests as they entered the hotel to really set the tone!
We love customizing a food display for a wedding, Kelly and Anne Marie had their salad bar displayed in champagne cases, it was so elegant and went perfectly with the surroundings!
This spread of sweets is completely delectable! Also this sign… Candy is Dandy, but Liquor is Quicker. Â Heard!
We loved having a chill space like this cigar bar for people to retreat to towards the end of the night!A balloon drop was the perfect finale to a crazy and amazing New Year’s Eve wedding 🙂  One of our favorite departures… we had the band lead the guests down the elevator and into the outside for balloons and a confetti drop!
We are so thrilled with the way that Anna Maria’s vision came to life for her wedding. Thanks to the amazing people behind the scenes who helped make this wedding the magical day that it was. We couldn’t have done it without you!
