Highlands NC Luxury Real Wedding
We wanted a classic, timeless and formal wedding, but also wanted to incorporate a “mountain feel” where we could. I wanted to use deep green florals because it reminds me of the surroundings in Highlands. We also incorporated some magnolia leaves because my mother and grandmother always had magnolias in the yard and magnolia leaves throughout the house.
