Highlights of a Highlands North Carolina Wedding
Highlands, NC is a sophisticated town with many memorable highlights including the Farm at Old Edwards Inn. Something that makes it so remarkable is the multiple indoor locations for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. These areas offer the option to close the doors in the cold, or keep them open, welcoming in the fresh mountain air during warmer months. Chelsea and Alejandro took advantage of this by closing the doors on their winter wedding day. The couple made the most of every amenity at Old Edwards Inn, fully embracing the experience. The pavilion was a quiet space for them to enjoy private moments on their busy day. Chelsea shared a moment with her father on the bridal pavilion just moments before he walked her down the aisle. The pavilion was also the perfect space for the newlyweds to share their private bite with delicious food and drink.
The Perfect Winter Wedding Details
Chelsea, being sophisticated yet genuine, showed the best of both worlds on her wedding day. She chose comfort during pictures by wearing her UGG boots to keep warm which we thought was such a fun idea for the chilly weather. Her stunning bridesmaids kept warm with their long sleeve, velvet dresses and fur shawls which were the perfect detail. Chelsea later exchanged her comfort for elegance and slipped into her Louis Vuitton heels to walk down the aisle. It was such a joy watching Chelsea and Alejandro involve all of their loved ones on wedding day including their furry friend. The couple’s pup even joined in on the first look adding a special touch to their perfect moment. Chelsea and Alejandro’s first look was a sweet glimpse into their love for one another.

Ashley Skutka, Owner of Hamilton Events notes: “What made this wedding so magical was more than the elevated service and hospitality standards of Old Edwards Inn. Chelsea and Alejandro are those one-of-a-kind couples that reminds us why we love what we do. Their love and respect for each other was so apparent, and it was evident to everyone who played a role on their wedding day. It was an absolute joy working with Chelsea for almost two years planning together. Chelsea valued quality in each of her wedding vendors to ensure that her day would run smoothly and be everything she dreamed of… and more. All of their family and friends were a delight to celebrate with on wedding day, and seeing her vision come to life was so special. I was honored to be a part of their wedding day, and truly feel like I’ve gained a lifelong friend to cheer on from the sidelines.”
