Mountain Wedding in North Carolina

What I love about today’s wedding is pretty much summed up by the bride in her vision of her wedding day:

I gathered inspiration from Pinterest and various wedding blogs, but I had my own vision for my wedding day decided long before! I wanted to be in the mountains with my loved ones, and I wanted the whole day to be laid back yet elegant.

I think that is the exact wedding Ashley and Patrick had. I also love that they each had their brothers as their wedding party – non-traditional and super personal. And the backdrop for this wedding, and the rainbow, are the icing on the uber-pretty cake.

There were so many wonderful moments from the whole weekend with our family, but the moment that will always stay with me is walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing Patrick waiting for me.

Advice for couples planning now? Keep it simple! Don’t worry so much about every little detail. The guests are there for YOU so focus on what makes you and your fiancé happy.

How did you make your wedding YOU?

Family, pie – not cake, mountain views, and our dog – those are the things that made our wedding US.

Isn’t this such a simple, elegant, gorgeous wedding? Congrats to Ashley & Patrick!
