Planning a Wedding at the Biltmore

This next year will be busy!  Not only will we be moving into our new home, but my daughter is getting married at the Biltmore Estate!  This past week, she and her fiancé visited Asheville to begin the planning of the wedding.  We had a visit with our florist- the Bloom Room- to begin discussion of how to transform the Diana venue into a magical woodland wedding! We visited the venue to discuss our thoughts, then met at the florist to start the planning process!

 


 
The 180 foot long tent  will be transformed into a Mid Summer's Night Dream!
Antler chandeliers, barn wood  siding, moss colored up lighting, moss, dark purples
 and lots of candles will do the trick!

 A magical fairy land will be in these woods for the children to have fun.
Fairy houses, little elves and fairies, fairy lights all to delight the guests!
 
 
The wedding ceremony will take place here in front  of the Biltmore house!

A spectacular view from the terrace - I can't wait to see the wedding pictures!

 
the incredible attention to detail on the Biltmore house finished in 1895!

 
Looking through the stone balcony around the terrace.

 
Love these lanterns on the side of the home!

The incredible gardens behind the house- a spot for more great wedding pictures!
 
 The iconic conservatory!

The bride and flower girl!


 
Getting the flowers home and into a vase to enjoy! Not quite the right shade of purple
for my daughter's taste- but we have 10 months to find that perfect purple rose!
 
 
But oh- so much more to do!  A busy year indeed!

  7. Busy, busy year indeed! But just think about how much fun it all will be. I think a wedding at the Biltmore Estate will be fabulous. I didn't realize that they allowed weddings there. Wonderful! Having your new home move in ready will be the icing on the cake.
