For our Fall wedding inspiration, High Country vendors transformed Sky Retreat’s covered veranda into a warm and inviting space using rich jewel-tone colors inspired by the Blue Ridge—deep blues, earthy neutrals, and abundant greenery.

The ceremony featured a wooden triangle arbor with climbing greenery, bold aisle florals, and live music from a cellist to set the tone. U-shaped reception seating created an intimate vibe, with navy and white linens, green runners and napkins, vintage goblets, and statement florals all set against a floral-adorned fireplace mantle.

Our two brides wore complementary dresses and carried stunning bouquets—one with moody fall florals, the other with lush greenery. Guests would enjoy cozy small bites, decadent desserts, and a jewel-toned lounge perfect for relaxing with a view.

Even in the July heat, this fall-inspired design brought all the cozy charm and bold color we love about mountain weddings, showing the skill and creativity of the High Country Event Professionals.

We brought together 24 incredible vendors to showcase the magic of the High Country—and they delivered two seasons of inspiration in one perfect July day 🌄✨

Hosted at a breathtaking mountaintop venue, the day featured side-by-side styled shoots:
💐 Summer vibes with soft, ethereal colors
🍂 Fall magic with rich jewel tones
Both rooted in mountain shades of blue, green, and earthy neutrals.

Pulling off two full shoots in one day was no small feat, but these talented vendors made it look effortless. We’re so proud of what the High Country has to offer—and we can’t wait to see these designs inspire real weddings.
