February 2016 Archive

It is always so interesting watching wedding trends come and go year by year.  Many of our Asheville wedding vendors have been in this industry for an extremely long time, and they can probably point out some interesting trends that they witnessed at one point in time.  One trend that does stay pretty constant but does switch it up every so often are first dance songs/wedding music.  There are some classics that will probably never go out of style.  Ending your night to “Shout” is a perfect example of one. You can ask our East Coast Entertainment rep or chat with Mr. C’s Mobile Disc Jockey.  They will be able to point out the classics that will get everyone dancing, to the new popular favorites!  Curious to know what the  popular ceremony music? Well Braidstream can for sure help you on that one! That being said our friends over at Wedding Wire shared there 2016 first dance song predications.  Maybe this will help inspire you with what your first dance song should be!

It is throwback Thursday here on the StudioWed Asheville blog.  Today’s real wedding feature is a roaring twenties themed wedding that took place at The Diana at The Biltmore.  Such a perfect wedding venue for a roaring twenties themed wedding.  Our Asheville wedding vendors always love it when we get a couple that love to be a little bit out of the box.  This couple here definitely fit that profile.   From a horse drawn carriage, to a ombre carpet of petals, this wedding turned out to be the perfect 1920’s soiree. Check out the pictures below to see for yourself!

Every year the StudioWed Asheville team gets together and gives back to the Asheville community.  So many on our Asheville wedding vendors have been living in Asheville NC all their life, that it means the world to all of us to support and give back to our beautiful home.

This year the StudioWed Asheville family went to the Veterans Restoration Quarters to help meal prep and serve lunch to veterans who are trying to get back on their feet.  Not only is this a positive wonderful thing that StudioWed Asheville can do for the community, but it is also a fun way to spend sometime with one another.  We love working and having fun with our fellow Asheville wedding vendors.  What better way to do it then by giving back to those who need it!

Check out below of all the wonderful pictures of the StudioWed Asheville Vendors hard at work!
