My friend Lainey Papageorge of Atlanta has been designing jewelry -- "inspired from the lights and magic of nature" -- for 35 years. Whether she is creating a new piece of jewelry from old family treasures (a bride's mother's diamonds, gold from grandparents wedding rings, etcetera) or designing something completely new (from old-world to contemporary styles), it is a one-of-a-kind, lovingly crafted custom reflection of the wearer!

    A beautiful outdoor mountain wedding?

The grounds of the historic Zachary-Tolbert House in Cashiers -- in the glorious western North Carolina mountains -- may just be for you! Nestled in magical ancient rhododendrun forests, the mid-19th century house and spacious grounds invite you home to the mountains. (And the story goes that Mordecai Zachary built the house for his bride...so it already carries a romantic fingerprint that connects you and your wedding there!)
