Erin and Adam were the first couple ever to be married at the North Carolina Arboretum! Their ceremony was unique in so many ways and the day turned out perfect!
Some of the elements included in the ceremony were circles and sea glass.The cocktail hour prior to the ceremony was held in the circular Blue Ridge Court. Each guest chose a piece of sea glass that Erin & Adam had provided from their personal collection during the cocktail hour. During the ceremony each guest came up and dropped their sea glass into a vase.
The ceremony was written by Erin, Adam and their parents. (There was actually a 5 page script!) References were made to sea glass and the change it goes through in life. Both of Adam’s parents are ministers and Erin’s father as well so all 4 parents participated in the ceremony! It was one of the most original and touching ceremonies I have seen.
For a favor the very environmentally conscious couple chose to give personalized tree saplings to their guests. The N.C. Arboretum strives to be a green venue and encourages couples to choose environmentally friendly and sustainable vendors.
Thank you to all the wonderful vendors that helped make the first wedding at the Arboretum such a successful event!
