TGA Followers Discount: Enjoy 5% off your dream wedding dress when you mention Travel Guides Asheville. Offer valid through April 26, 2026.
Birchwood Bridal has been in existence since the Summer Solstice of 2016. We began as Maggi Bridal Asheville, a sister boutique to our Raleigh location, Maggi Bridal, which started in 2010 and closed its doors in the summer of 2023 to focus solely on our Asheville boutique. In that same year, we changed our name to Birchwood Bridal, after our namesake of birch trees that have adorned the boutique all these years. Our ownership has remained the same throughout, as has our heart.
We have and always will lead by the Golden Rule- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"- therefore we offer our brides the same empathy, kindness, and reciprocity we wish for ourselves. We may have gone through many changes throughout the years, bringing new life to the boutique, yet we’ve always stayed true to our hearts.
Above all, we hope to help each woman we have the honor of meeting to feel more beautiful than ever before as she becomes a bride. We hope to help in as many little ways as we can to bring your inner beauty into true view. We hope that you will trust us to be a part of your wedding day.

5. Golden Preserved
Instagram: @goldenpreserved
I’m a floral preservationist based out of Western North Carolina and am honored to transform your special flowers into works of art.
For years, I dropped off wedding cakes, set out floral arrangements, served hors d'oeuvres, cleaned up glasses to the DJ’s mix, and trashed all the leftovers. I admired the forgotten flowers and always ended my day with a few stems in hand.
When I turned thirty, I transitioned into teaching. I lasted a few years before realizing I needed to be back with all the flowers, but on my terms this time.
I completely immersed myself in flower preservation, and in June 2022, all the seeds I planted sprouted into Golden Preserved. Creating this art has saved me as many times as I have saved someone else’s flowers. It continues to blossom as I grow my skills, style, and the future of Golden Preserved.
