Elegant and Intimate Garden Wedding at the NC Arboretum

This garden wedding at the NC Arboretum was like stepping into a Jane Austen novel—timeless and oh-so-romantic. The simple elegance of clean lines and classic hues created a beautiful intimate setting for 45 of the couple’s closest friends and family.

A Downtown Prelude

Jiwon & Todd kicked off their special day getting ready at the Cambria in downtown Asheville. Their room had a private balcony with those city skyline views mixed with the gorgeous mountain backdrop. It was the perfect blend of urban chic and natural beauty, setting the tone for the unforgettable moments to follow. It also made an amazing spot for a private first look, see more in the photos below.

The Venue: Garden Wedding at NC Arboretum

Nestled among the rolling hills and lush forests, the NC Arboretum is a dream venue. The vibe was classic, with clean lines and an elegant touch, making it a perfect backdrop for this intimate gathering of 45 loved ones.

Colors & Themes

Now let’s talk color palette, shall we? Blue and green were the heroes of the day, with a dash of orange. Think terracotta pots filled with lush greenery and citrus accents sprinkled throughout the reception tables. Pure magic, y’all!

Extra Special Touches

Personalized wooden fans to keep everyone cool (with the wedding date etched on, of course!), and let’s not forget those mouthwatering chocolates from Marble and Steel that served as favors. It was the epitome of “it’s the little things that count.”

The Afterparty: Sunday Brunch

Oh, and did I mention the Sunday brunch? Because yes, the celebration continued! The couple hosted a laid-back brunch the next day, allowing guests to revel a little longer.
