how many times do we see beautiful wedding flowers go to waste after a wedding?  well, unfortunately all the time.  there is a great new non-profit in town, second bloom, that will come and pick up all the flowers and distribute to nursing homes.  This allows those in the nursing homes who may have had to give up a love of gardening to re-engage in activity that is satisfying and rewarding.  what a fantastic idea!!  so before you throw away those flowers – please consider second bloom!

what a beautiful day and a beautiful couple!  ashley and kevin were married on the biltmore estate at lioncrest.  the theme was one starry night, and the weather held out for us and gave us just that!  there is nothing that i love better than to have a personalized ceremony…ashley’s mom stood and read a tearjerker of a poem right before ashley and her dad walked down the aisle.  now, i am known to cry at weddings ~ it doesn’t matter how many we do, they just get me, but this along with their vows they wrote for each other was just beautiful.  and the decor was just amazing thanks to the ever-so talented blossoms at biltmore park.  the flowers you see above was an actual floral chandelier.  ashley had seen a picture of one in a magazine, and it was executed to perfection.  just fabulous!   it was not long until the night was hoppin to the soundsof dylan from blazin’ sounds entertainment.  thank you very much to jeremy russell of corey mcnabb photography for the incredible pictures.  jeremy, you were a pleasure to work with, and captured every moment of their wedding beautifully.  you rock!!!
