Old Edwards Inn, North Carolina

Planning this destination wedding for 100 guests during the pandemic proved difficult only because unfortunately another 100 guests couldn’t make it from overseas. Our lovely couple, who met at Oxford University, didn’t want to let that stop their love nor did we want to loose our English touches. Taking inspiration from one of their favorite Covent Garden restaurants for the ceiling installation to having croquet at cocktail hour and even giving a little Harry Potter nod for the incredibly romantic and haunting escort card wall were all ways we could make it feel like our friends from across the pond were present!

“Every wedding that Grit & Grace produce is authentic and personalized to the couple, which is exactly what we experienced when planning our special day.  From the flowers resembling the ceiling of our favorite London restaurant to the New-Orleans style second-line Jazz band, they brought in top vendors from all over the USA to Highlands, NC and made our vision a reality.  We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding knowing that we were in the best hands imaginable with Laura and her team.” -Brittney & David
