We attended our most recent ACES event meeting and it was held at the beautiful Smithmore Castle in Spruce Pine NC. The weather and company was perfect! South's Clothiers provided models with gown samples! Floral designs were provided by Kristi Turbyfill of Events by Elizabeth Ashley and Janna Avery of Callista Designs. A beautiful cake by Hallmark Cakes was displayed with the Queen's crown in the great hall of the Castle. I heard the cake was wonderful but wasn't able to get a taste. Sometimes being gluten free has its down moments =). All the plates used for the event was provided by Miss Match Rentals and even though we were not able to grab pics of those adorable plates trust me when I say her stuff is adorable! Music for our evening was provided by the talented The Mercury Dames. You will see images below of rental items available from Fushia Moss Vintage Decor. She has lots of great finds to add to your photo shoot or special day! It was lovely chatting and meeting other wedding professionals throughout the evening. Our evening ended with a sweet surprise from my hubby. I had misplaced my wedding rings for almost 6 months...yes I know...anyway he found and completely surprised me with asking to marry him again ;). We are going on twelve years this September! I will admit I teared up a bit. Enjoy the images!~ Ryan and Joy
