WEDDING PLANNING for BEGINNERS PART 2 of 3

Wedding Planning for Beginners Part 2 was PHENOMENAL!!! The focus of the workshop was Decor and Design and we did not miss a beat. Ronda Lynn Kornegay from Classic Event Rentals displayed a myriad of linens to consider when planning your wedding. She also spoke to the participants regarding the latest trends and the items needed to bring your vision to reality with their products.

Windows on the Park hosted the 2 hour workshop and provided one of the best locations for our event. We were welcomed with delicious hors d'oeuvres to nibbler on while we toured the facility. Ragan Evans also discussed the various set up configurations and catering options available during the year.

Wedding Inspirations, Bela Dona Designs and Mitchell's Tuxedos also displayed samples of their wedding attire to inspire brides on what to wear for their dream wedding. All of this and much more was captured by Camilla Calnan of Camilla Calnan Photography. Check out the photos below. Part 3 of the series will be held at the Crest Center and Pavilion on November 11. See you there!!!

WEDDING PLANNING FOR BEGINNERS Part 1 of 3

Wedding Planning for Beginners (Part 1) kicked off with a BANG!!! The participants had the opportunity to hear from our first guest speaker, Annette Lewis from the Baggie Goose. The Baggie Goose, located in the historic Biltmore Village supplies invitations, stationery, greeting cards, etc. which are frequently used by brides nationwide. It was great to hear Annette discuss all the specifics in creating, assembling, addressing and most of all the protocols when ordering your wedding invitations.

We also had the distinct pleasure of viewing wedding attire displays from fabulous vendors such as Mitchell's Tuxedos and Wedding Inspirations. Bela Dona from Bela Dona Designs displayed her very own custom designed miniature bride wedding gown which included a detachable train and cathedral length veil. Floral designs were generously provided by Flora and Sweet Bouquets. We covered so much material during the 2 hour workshop and ended with a wonderful tour of the Renaissance Asheville Hotel given by Lois Davis. Lois, YOU ROCK!!!
