Say hello to 360-degree views of gorgeous mountain ranges at this North Carolina wedding. The Planning Asheville designed a day that leaves no detail unturned, from the swoon-worthy outdoor ceremony to the reception space dripping with elegance. The florals by Floressence Flowers rival the beauty of the mountain range and fill the day with unrivaled romance. You’ll get lost in the artful imagery Almond Leaf Studios. Make sure to visit the full gallery for every beautiful moment.
From the bride… Jack and I met at Duke University Hospital across a trauma bay in the emergency department. It was Jack’s first year as an orthopaedic surgery resident and I was the nurse in charge of that bay. There was an instant connection but (of course!) we had to be professionals and take care of the patient between us. Two weeks went by and I ran into Jack on his last week of his emergency department rotation, talk about fate! Jack asked me out on the spot.
On the day of our wedding, it was truly magical seeing all the pieces come together. I loved all the rich lush greenery in Tulum when Jack and I visited there. We had the best trip and I wanted to incorporate some of that energy into our wedding. The florals were the highlight of the decor and it brought me great joy to hear guests say it looked like a jungle.
Overall, my advice is classic. Enjoy it all. What matters is that you are getting married and you are surrounded by friends and family that love you. It makes me emotional thinking back to how all of our favorite people gathered to celebrate our love. The day may have been a blur, but I will never forget how I felt.
