This Highlands, North Carolina, wedding comes to us from {Laura Negri Photography}. This fabulous down home country wedding took place at the {Old Edwards Inn}. The detail shots here of the sign, church, welcome basket and rocking chairs really show the perfect mix of “timeless, classic and simple.” The amazing flowers are by {Dutchman Designs}. Victoria’s elegant gown was created by {Peter Langer}. She looked so stunning and elegant. What a perfect Southern Wedding of the Week!
How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story: Nishan and I met at Rollins College, but did not start dating until we were both living in New York and reconnected through mutual friends.
Describe the proposal: Nishan proposed during a walk with our dog on the beach in Costa Rica. We were there with friends celebrating Nishan and our friend, Patrick’s, 30th birthdays.
A date we went on that we’ll always remember: Our first, an impromptu adventure to Atlantic City with friends.
Were there any special family traditions you included in the wedding? Yes, family and family traditions are important to both of us. My mother-in-law and father-in-law gave me a Yard rabbit bride brooch to wear during the wedding weekend. All the Vartanian brides will now share in the tradition. Nishan and I used my parents ring pillow from their wedding 41 years ago. Nishan wore my grandfather’s handkerchief and we passed out antique handkerchiefs my mother had collected.
More to come from Victoria + Nishan…
The shot of the church is breathtaking…really captures the hopeful, celebratory mood of the day.
