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!!!

If you thought Part 1 was a thrill, wait until Part 2 at Windows on the Park on November 4th from 6-8:00 pm. Interested individuals can still register for the remaining workshops.
