we had another great wedding weekend! on saturday, mary anne and gray were married at brahma ridge in candler, nc. this is a new event facility owned by holly berry and rob denton ~ and they were such great hosts! thanks! we had a beautiful tent from artful shelter, which in case you have not used before, are just wonderful and made right here in asheville!
thanks for having us! we wish you all the best ~ and cannot wait to see the pics! especially the one of alden and the frog :)

what a weekend!

we had a busy day on saturday the 15th! congrats to patty and david who got married on saturday at beautiful homewood, with the reception at the new event facility coleman place. thanks for letting us be a part of your day!
we also had the annual red cross gala saturday evening at the crest center and pavilion. what a fabulous event for a fabulous cause! i have been working on this since february, so it was great to see it all come together. it was a collaboration of a great committee of volunteers, and so great getting to know this group! we had great auction items~including a bmw, invasline braces, and ballroom dance lessons (which my husband and i won...i can't wait to put on my dancing shoes!). not a detail was left untouched, from the cake to the napkins to the swizel sticks...it was all just stunning. check out the pictures, all taken by my ever supporting husband :)

the '_______' ball

that's right, it is that time again! last year i got hired to plan the asheville area arts council white ball which was held on june 16 ~ 800 people, 4 parties, 1 night in downtown asheville. the committee i worked with was just so wonderful, that when i was asked to do it again this year, i could not help but be excited! so today is the day i start planning again. the color has yet to be decided, as that is done by the committee...so stay tuned, more to come soon!

[thanks monroe ~ you guys are just the best!] i have been working with carrie and greg since january, and have just loved every minute. they are such a great couple with the sweetest family and just so much fun, and i was truely honored to be a part of their special day. we got to work with photographers that are close to my heart, james and jenny tarpley with visio photography. we had great cake from cakes du jour and the place was hopping thanks to blake with jumping jukebox!
