For Asheville area brides, or those brides wanting to escape to WNC for a destination wedding, we’ve come across beautiful Bearwallow mountain. Bearwallow Mountain is convenient to Asheville, Hendersonville and Lake Lure.

Here’s some information directly from their website:

The facilities are capable of hosting large or small functions.

The  Lodge in Grand Highlands at Bearwallow Mountain is a nearly 12,000 square foot facility with all the splendor one could imagine.  It is complete with large dinning hall, large gathering hall, bar and catering kitchen.  The building is very versatile to make the experience unique to your event.

The Grand Highlands lodge can comfortably seat 120 people in the dinning hall with the ability to handle well over 200 when using the expansive deck and remainder of the lodge.

Check out the facilities on their website at: www.BearwallowEvents.com

These monograms are from Etsy shop trendytreasure

Couples can take the customized monogram and use it on a personalized aisle runner, napkins, and even their wedding cake. If you are looking for an idea to incorporate your initials into an outdoor ceremony, try using your initials covered in moss to hang on shepard hooks or even decorate a grass aisle with roses in the shape of your initials.

You can even take your monogram to the reception, having it light up the dance floor, or even showcase the monogram on the windows with window stickers/adhesives. For favor ideas, your monogram could be used on a personalized CD of your favorite music, used as stickers on candy boxes or bags, adorn candles or even be etched on candy itself.

The possibilities are endless! Don’t forget the monogram can continue to be used for years on items such as personalized stationary, wall decals, outdoor flags, and even jewelry.

Yesterday Spaces

“We are a 70 acre family farm and are located just minutes from downtown Asheville N.C. We have just finished a beautiful, very rustic, and yet very comfortable barn with a large conditioned loft space for year round use.

We are very excited that we are finally able to offer this space and some other very special spaces on our farm for social, business, and educational events including:

• Weddings
• Receptions
• Rehearsal dinners
• Reunions
• Retreats
• Meetings and Seminars

Our farm is deeply rooted in history and we feel blessed to be able to preserve another important piece of productive farmland here in Western North Carolina.  We are farming with sustainable agricultural techniques and maintain a reverence for the land…”
