courtney + tim’s asheville wedding at the crest center was a beautiful affair and we loved designing their day around our color palette of eggplant, taupe and charcoal. you saw our design for their asheville wedding on monday and we know you are really excited to see how all our plans came together. memorial weekend weddings are always such fun events, probably because almost everyone is extra excited for the 3 day weekend. courtney + tim were so thrilled for their upcoming “i do’s” and they could barely contain their excitement getting ready at the grand bohemian hotel. after all their primping courtney + tim met up at the north carolina arboretum for their heartfelt first look. we love a good first look! what is more special than the groom seeing his bride for the first time? we also love it as planners since it allows the photographer to take lots of pictures before the wedding and we are more likely to stay on time. after some fun in the gardens, courtney + tim travelled to the crest center to officially become husband and wife! the ceremony overlooked the blue ridge mountains with the sun setting ever so perfectly and the couple framed by a gorgeous arbor covered in flowers and ribbons + lace softly blowing in the breeze. such a magical sight! cocktails + reception took place inside the crest center pavilion which we transformed in our color palette from linens to flowers to lighting. the cake was an amazing work of art in every aspect and delicious as well! courtney + tim wanted their guests to have a blast so they had a photo booth for their guests to enjoy. and with their crowd it was the dance floor that was never empty, everyone could not wait to get on the dance floor and dance the night away! we loved working with courtney + tim to design and plan their beautiful wedding and wish them all the best as mr and mrs!

asheville wedding venue the crest center sits atop a mountain with the most gorgeous ceremony view overlooking the blue ridge mountains. the crest center pavilion is a beautiful open reception space with wood beams and large glass walls creating a blank canvas for a wedding. courtney + tim wanted help pulling the design together so our team at verge events was more than ready to bring it all together for them at the crest center! for their memorial weekend nuptials, we used a color palette of eggplant, taupe and charcoal to accentuate the natural beauty of the crest center and the surrounding mountains.

purple + gray weddings are a classic combination but we love how adding the taupe into the wedding color palette creates a beautiful neutral to elevate the eggplant and charcoal. we wanted a soft, romantic feel for the wedding with lace, ribbons and candlelight. the cake inspiration was truly beautiful and a work of art (just wait until you see how it turned out!). we love the unexpected twist, like a modern take on lace in the cake detail and punched candle holders which creates complexity in the design.

we are in love with this purple and gray old edwards inn wedding that we planned and designed!  what a more perfect way to spend valentine’s day than looking back at maggie + mark’s beautiful day filled with love and happiness! you saw the design and now you’re dying to see all the details, so wait no more!

moments before the ceremony. the last check of the line up.

maggie’s brother walked her down the aisle. look at her smile! she can’t wait to see mark!

the life of a planner is never dull! we do whatever it takes! our bride was hot so we cooled her down!

during our planning process maggie said “i want my wedding guests to feel like they’re part of something special… not a cookie-cutter, commercialized kind of wedding, but an intimate, sincere, genuine celebration of two people and two families uniting at last.  (we’ve been together for seven years, so most of our family members have been very anxious for this day to come)”

the verge team hard at work!

maggie + mark chose the gorgeous farm at old edwards inn in highlands for the backdrop of their july wedding. verge events designed their day with a palette of purple, lavender and lilac with a balance of slate gray, dove gray and silver.

the farm has an incredible natural beauty that we wanted to accent but not compete. maggie said she’d “really like to bring in all the elements of natural beauty around the Farm (and maybe just a little glitz too 🙂 )” so to do this we created a natural garden look with hints of transitional pieces.

it was a quiet spring day in april for cody and stephen’s wedding. the wedding took place at a private home in asheville, nc, the perfect backdrop for their morning ceremony and reception. during our planning the bride cody said “we want our wedding to be a time of celebration with our family and friends.  we want it to feel casual, but also special.  our goal is to capitalize on the beauty of the location and evoke feelings of happiness, comfort, laughter and love for our guests and ourselves.  we want to create an atmosphere of comfort and enjoyment that is both fresh and sweet.” and they did just that!

aren’t they just the sweetest?! it makes our heart melt!
