Regan and Randy had a wonderful wedding that honored their family heritage. Even though they live in Florida, it was important to them to be married in Western NC. The historic church at Smokemont, where they held their ceremony, was attended by her grandmother as a child. Located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Lufty Baptist Chuch was established in 1836. Her grandparents were married in Bryson City near the Fryemont Inn where the reception was held. The families and friends all stayed at the Fryemont Inn and it was one big party all weekend. Some family members had stayed in the cottages most of the week. Sue Brown and the staff at the Fryemont were fantastic.
Regan’s grandmother had a lot of old family photos on display in the Fryemont lobby. To begin Regan and Randy’s family legacy, she made them a beautiful quilt. Nanny also made it known that she has 6 baby quilts ready and waiting, too.
Regan’s mom, Patti, is a florist and she did an absolutely amazing job on the floral arrangements! I have never seen a wedding with such incredible flowers. Patti’s shop is
Price Florist and is located in Oak Ridge, TN. Her staff carried all those flowers up the trail to the church for those massive arrangements! They brought to life a dark small church and made it glow.
The fabulous cake was by
Cakes by Jane, who are known for their Southern Cream Cheese Pound cakes. Regan was so excited about the cake and was going around hyping it up to all the guests. Each tier of the cake had two layers, almond on the top and cinnamon on the bottom. I loved the crystalized sugar and how it made the cake shimmer. When I went by to drop off some photos at their shop in Asheville, they were making peanut butter chocolate chip pound cakes….it’s a good thing the weren’t baked yet!
You will also notice that Regan did not choose a traditional wedding dress. I haven’t ever photographed a pink wedding dress before but it was really beautiful. The funny thing is that she’s not even a girly girl. One of her coworkers made her the Miss Piggy wedding doll to match her dress.
