This beautifully classic wedding was seven years in the making. Paul and Camille wanted their day to be a true reflection of them as a couple.

Their wedding ceremony was held at the same church Camille’s mother and grandmother were married. Camille wanted their intimate reception to feel more like a formal dinner party that a traditional wedding, and what better setting than the private Biltmore Estate that opened its cozy insides right out into the backyard. Details were incorporated throughout the night to make everyone feel welcomed and thoughtfully cared for. A divine gourmet dinner ended with mouth-watering tarts the couple first tried on a date to the restaurant, “Coup Des Tarts”.

    I've worked with this photographer and she's exceptional. As and event planner and wedding coordinator--
    I can tell you straight up--Gina is the BEST BY FAR, to work with. She's easy going, accomodating and extremely talented; a perfectionist without the insanity. Congratulations!

    Hello again. the candle holders are from a winery in Napa, called Chateau St Jean. I actually have 14 and am trying to sell them, if you are interested. They are so beautiful and helped to make the night! Let me know if you are interested!

    Hi Camille, was the dress white or ivory? Any tips on how to wear it best? Thanks!

  22. Camille
    December 17, 2010 at 7:28 pm

    Dress was ivory. My only recommendation is to have the dress altered to fit you PERFECTLY. I had bra cups sewn in and didn't wear anything else up top so it had to be pretty snug to the body!

    Thanks Camille. How long did it take for the dress to arrive and alter etc?
