It was the moment when my vision for my wedding became real. From the start of our planning, I wanted our wedding meal to be the highlight, an intimate and formal dinner party with French inspired decor filled with romance, fabulous food and our closest family.

One of the reasons we chose the Conservatory at the Biltmore in Asheville as our wedding reception venue was the simple gorgeousness of the greenhouse. The backdrop of the lush greenery provided just the right amount of natural elegance for our wedding dinner.

Our wedding colors were champagne, blush, ivory and gold. Hundreds of roses in muted shades in square vases ran down the length of the central table draped with with champagne and ivory linens and set with gold rimmed place settings. We chose simple ivory candles intermingled among the roses. Menus and place cards in the same soft color scheme. (If you are in North Carolina, both Salutations and Laura at Yellow House Calligraphy were a dream to work with. All flowers by Blossoms at Biltmore Park.)
Everyone says that your wedding day goes by so fast. They are right, of course. So you try and take moments to breathe it all in and mentally capture images to carry with you after it is all over. Looking around at my new husband and family laughing and having fun in this gorgeous setting is a memory I will have for a lifetime.
