So we are continuing the mountain wedding inspiration with these weddings from across the nation and around the world, but mostly from Mount Hood {wink} Enjoy!

Fall Wedding at an Upstate New York Ski Resort

I am a sucker for colored shoes and ski lifts–not necessarily in that order, or together, but at this wedding it totally works. Love it!

Here are some of my Very Favorite Mountain Weddings from Around the Web

I am so saturated with wonderful mountain wedding inspiration this week that I thought I would share some of my favorites. LOL, I have so many that I have to divide the posts up. I am assuming none of you want to wait 5 hours for a million images to download. So please check make tomorrow (and possibly the next day) for a round up of amazing mountain + DIY inspiration from my favorite bloggers.

Western North Carolina: Elegance in the Mountains

I totally  have to give a little shout out to the western North Carolina weddings that have garnered the attention of bloggers as far off as the UK.

Eco Friendly Rustic Lodge Reception

There are so many things that speak to me about this wedding. Thirty people attended this remote wedding. To me that is a perfect wedding. I love the thought of thirty of my closest friends and family stealing away to a remote hunting lodge that is accessible only by jeep or land rover. How cozy and romantic!

Hand Fasting, Land Rovers, and Plaid

The Scottish Highlands hold a special place in western North Carolina history and culture. I will not bore you with all of the historical details, but suffice to say that the Scottish were removed to Ireland by King James the VI. From there many of them migrated to western North Carolina on the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia.

Many western North Carolinians claim Scotch-Irish ancestry. So what could be more inspiring than a real Scottish wedding? Viki Watt from Acoustic Wave – Boutique Media & Entertainment Studio graciously shared this amazing wedding with us. She writes, "The entire wedding, with the exception of the marquee and furniture hire and dress were created compliments of close family and friends."

There are so many things I love about this wedding. I love that it was a community event with the couples family and friends contributing their skills to make it wonderful. I love the remoteness and ruggedness of the ceremony site and reception lodge. It speaks volumes of the heartiness of mountain brides. And I love the authentic plaid that infused nearly every element of the wedding from the attire, to the bride's bouquet, to the brides maid's dresses, and even the cake. But you'll have to check back tomorrow to see those details in part two of this amazing mountain wedding! Enjoy!

Some personal stuff:

First, thanks to all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday. It was a relaxing one. I turned off the computer most of the day and did a whole bunch of nothing all day. It was lovely. My inbox had blown up by the evening though, lol.

Second, I was thrilled to see one of our own Asheville Wedding Photographers being featured on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings yesterday. Go Two Ring Studios! And Go Lou; you have great taste my dear! Please go check it out: Beautiful Blooms and Fairy Lights.
