TAYLOR AND CLARK

Autumn Wedding at the Biltmore Estate

Asheville, North Carolina

THE VISION

When Taylor and Clark toured the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC as a potential wedding venue, they immediately fell in love and canceled all their other venue tours without hesitation. They knew nothing else would compare to a fall ceremony on the front lawn of this grand estate or the terrace reception views, so they set their date for 10/10/20 (the most popular wedding date of 2020!). During the planning, every detail was carefully and thoughtfully discussed. Taylor, Clark, and their families wanted to make sure each and every guest’s experienced the beauty and magic of the Biltmore Estate.

As their weekend approached the forecast was bleak due to a hurricane, but we were determined to have their ceremony on the front lawn! Our team sprung into action doing everything we could to plan out covered locations for the first looks and wedding party pictures, covering the aisle running with tarps, and obsessively checking the radar for that chance to be outside! Taylor and Clark certainly endured a lot this past year, so when the radar showed a long break in the rain exactly when pictures were to begin, everyone felt that sense of pure blessing!

As they said their vows, the most breathtaking mountain mist rose around Taylor and Clark and their guests. It was an incredibly beautiful ceremony and an unforgettable experience.

THE DETAILS

Although Taylor and Clark’s miniature schnauzer, Moses, wasn’t physically present, many of their wedding details included their beloved pup.

A black monogrammed aisle complete with a stunning floral arch flanked by chandeliers served as the backdrop for their nuptials, without competing with the beauty of the Vanderbilt mansion in the background.

Their hand-painted envelope liner pictured Moses on the front lawn where his parents would be married.

Floressence Flowers also helped honor Moses through dog topiaries that served as a whimsical entrance to the elegant blush and white tented reception.
