Time to meet another one of StudioWed Asheville’s finest, Chris Gire, Sales Manager & Wedding Specialist at the Aloft Hotels in Asheville NC.  The Aloft downtown makes a beautiful wedding spot and is also a great location for your guest to stay at when visiting Asheville.  You should go check it out!  Here is a little bit about Chris Gire!

A fun fact about you? Born in Chicago, raised in Alaska – after high school, I thought I wanted to be a horse jockey, so worked on a race horse ranch until I came to my senses and enrolled in college.

What are three items you can’t live without?  My DVD collection of all the Alien movies, my boxer Coco, and my cello.

If you were a crayon what color would you be? Hot pink.

What would be your dream concert to attend?  Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

If you could invite three famous people to have dinner with you who would it be?  Only 3? Hmmm….I guess it would have to be: Bill Cosby, Stephen King and Drew Barrymore

Your wedding invitation is the first thing your guest see when it comes to your wedding.  Kind of like the first impression.  Picking out your wedding invitation can be extremely overwhelming because there are so many different styles and looks that you can go with.  From letterpress, gold edging, to calligraphy, the options are truly endless.  First thing to do is to figure out how much you want to spend on your invitations.  What is your budget?  Invitations can be very expensive depending on what you want.

All of this might seem a tad overwhelming…. Which is why we recommend using a professional like Baggie Goose.  Located in Asheville NC, Baggies Goose really has the market on wedding invitations.  They also have a vast array of papers from Kate Spade (we love her) to Crane.  They are here to help!  Make sure to contact us through the StudioWed Asheville site, and we will help you set up your next appointment with Baggie Goose.

Signed… Sealed… Delivered!

Whenever we attend a great party it always includes a photo booth.  Thanks to Shutterbooth, you too can also have a photo booth at your Asheville North Carolina wedding.  Having a photo booth at your wedding not only makes some great photos, clearly is super fun, but also provides a great favor for your guest to take home!  Try and get creative with your photo booth.  You can pick out a fun back drop and props to match you wedding theme/colors.  You can also add your wedding logo to the bottom of the photo strips that your guest take home.

Every time StudioWed Asheville throws a party we make sure Shutterbooth is there for our guest.  Here are some fun photos from our past events for you to enjoy.

Here at StudioWed Asheville we pride ourselves on our family support.  Each of our Asheville wedding vendors are so creative and special in their own way.  Which is why we will be telling you a little bit more about them in a fun different kind of way!
