An Elegant Summer Wedding in Asheville, NC

I’m so excited to share a preview of last week’s elegant summer wedding in Asheville NC.

The Elegant Vibes

This elegant summer wedding just outside Asheville, NC was my first wedding of September and man, did it set the bar high! Rachel. Our groom, Nick, looked dapper in a tux, And Rachael? Her wedding dress was this stunning, lace-detailed, sleeveless beauty with a sleek updo that screamed elegance.

The Squad Goals

The bridesmaids wore black dresses, each flaunting their own unique style, and looked like the epitome of grace. The groomsmen? Also in tuxes. Because come on, it’s a black-tie affair, baby!

Florals & Decor

Y’all, the bouquet and flowers were nothing short of enchanting. We’re talking white and green hues with hints of café latte-colored roses and soft pinks that perfectly accented the vibe. And can we discuss those black napkins with the menus neatly placed on top? Oh, the details!

The Feels and the Meals

Guests enjoyed a scrumptious plated meal that led straight into a dance-a-thon. And, yes, the dance floor was LIT! Check out the photos, you won’t want to miss this!

The First Looks & Fur Baby Love

What’s that? A Golden Retriever in the ceremony? Yep, that was Bailey, the bride’s fur baby! While Rachael and Nick opted for a first look during the ceremony, Rachael had an adorable first look with her dad and Bailey.

The Picture-Perfect Exit

Ending the night in the most romantic way possible—a private last dance for just the two of them, followed by a sparkler exit! And their getaway car was this killer vintage beauty. I mean, could it get any better?
