BETHANY
& CHARLIE
Our favorite part of the design process is getting to know our clients. We love listening to your ideas and experiences, using them to create event designs that highlight your personality and celebrate your story. Together, we’ll brainstorm and collaborate, developing a partnership and a friendship that we affectionately call The Blossoms Experience. We enjoyed many hours (and a cocktail or two!) planning this memorable October wedding weekend with Bethany, Charlie, and their wonderful families. We look forward to getting together and having some fun designing your event!

ANTLER HILL BARN ON BILTMORE ESTATE
It was our task to transform Antler Hill Barn into a luxury venue, while staying true to its rustic feel. We started with an antler chandelier, a fancy oversized lounge area, and custom fabric draping. Next came the crystals, and then more glam!
The brick aisle was lined with 80’ of lush floral and candlelight. Golden wagon wheels were added to the wooden horse stall doors to create the perfect pathway for our beautiful equestrian bride.
​
We custom-built a wooden chapel for the couple, filled it with flowers, and added a matching rustic cross.
And of course, the equestrian theme!

THE
WEDDING EVE
The party the evening before did not disappoint! Charlie's parents came to us with a vision of Denim & Diamonds, and most importantly, that they LOVE Clemson.

PLUS AN APPEARANCE BY THE CLEMSON TIGER!
The custom beer flights we created were perhaps our favorite element. Each guest received a paw, made to mimic the Clemson Tiger's paw, that held a selection of beers brewed here in Asheville, giving everyone a taste of our local love!

This event was a fun partnership. Our fabulous clients enlisted Melissa Porter of Asheville Event Company to lead our team of fantastic vendors including Biltmore Weddings, Rachel Red Photography and Classic Event Rental. No detail was left

THE GRAND EXIT
This Dallas couple reminded us that everything is bigger in Texas, so we made them a 12 foot tall floral horseshoe accented with a giant crystal chandelier!
