Sarah and Brian

May 22, 2004

The Basilica of St. Lawrence

and

Biltmore Estate's Deerpark

The exquisite stationery wardrobe that Sarah and Brian selected was inspired by the lily of the valley.   Names were hand-lettered and a custom lily of the valley illustration was letterpress printed in platinum on a rich French roast paper.  Against the backdrop of the picturesque Deerpark, at the Biltmore Estate, the theme was continued at the reception.  Tiny

vases with sprigs of lily of the valley

were lined up on a table entering the courtyard.  Seating cards with the guest's names, scripted in ivory, were tied to each vase.  Antique ivory urns were placed on each table with table numbers, hand painted in ivory, resting on each.  As the guest made their way to their tables, they found a menu mimicking the invitation at their place setting.  Each detail helped to invoke memories of this perfect day.
