Eva & Dylan

Jun 18

On a clear, sunny evening, Eva and Dylan said “I do” just outside of Cashiers, North Carolina, at Chimney Pond Farm. From greeting Alpacas to twinkling lights stretching across the property's bridges, their wedding was truly unforgettable. A weekend filled with familial Italian tradition and stunning views that left guests speechless and in awe of what a perfect weekend it was.

Friends and family traveled from as far as Italy to celebrate this joyous occasion. To host the family who traveled so far, Chimney Pond offered 5 homes on the property to ensure comfort and care for the guests. Family and friends spent an unforgettably hospitable weekend celebrating the couple. Happs place provided trolley transportation from Cashiers to Sapphire as well as a welcome party and a drop-in brunch at the end of the weekend.

Every detail about the wedding weekend was thoughtful and elegant. There was stunning acrylic signage, by Bogaev Designs, guiding and informing guests throughout the evening. To go along with the beautiful signage, menus featuring a 5-course Italian dinner were equally as beautiful. All the rentals provided by Professional Party added to the beauty of the evening, as all guests were well taken care of.

Eva, radiant in a strapless lace-lined gown from Southern Charm Bridal and draped in a pearl-beaded veil, made her way down the aisle to a beautiful melody performed by Bella Music Strings. As she walked toward her Prince Charming, heads turned, and eyes welled with tears. The ceremony took place underneath an arbour filled with luscious greenery overlooking a mountainous forest. Pure beauty and grace swirled in the air as the two made a vow to love forever.

As guests made their way to the ceremony, they enjoyed a walk through a Christmas tree farm and were greeted with evening cocktails, champagne, and alpacas! Not only did guests get to enjoy their cocktails, but at the reception, there was a full bar and table wine service.

Following a beautiful ceremony, there was a reception awaiting everyone that would be the talk of the century. There was a 5-course Italian-style meal prepared by Ilda Sylva, and to top off the night, there were roaming cannolis from Low Country Cannoli, and of course, the most gorgeous, classic cake by 50 Fifty Heart of Dessert.

The night wasn't over after the elegant dinner, but rather the party had just begun. Guests danced the night away as Mix Wire Pro provided the best entertainment. Darrel Cassell captured the evening and gave the couple the most beautiful photos that will be cherished forever. Goings Videography ensured that the wedding video would truly capture the heart of the wedding. Floressence Flowers curated gorgeous floral pieces, giving a natural appeal to the evening.

The party went on and on, and the bride danced her heart out, looking flawless the whole evening, thanks to Cotton Rouge and Co., who gave her the most stunning hair and makeup. This evening was truly unforgettable. Eva and Dylan will forever remember their wedding day as one that was filled with love and elegance. As the night drew to a close, guests left with a traditional bomboniera.

With special thanks to Gilly Francis Events and a very laid-back bride who was in full-time PA school and caring for a newborn, Sophia, the whole weekend came together seamlessly and beautifully.
