If you haven’t heard already Asheville NC is known for its breweries.  Many say we are the number one town in USA for breweries and beer drinking.  From big breweries like Highland Brewery, to small boutique ones like Burial Beer. we have all types of varieties.  Trust me they are all good! That being said, if the crowd attending your wedding are the beer drinking crowd, then take advantage of this!  Some great options on how you can incorporate these breweries into your Asheville wedding is by having your rehearsal dinner at one, suggest it as a fun activity for your guest to enjoy, or maybe even just include a bottle of your favorite brew in their welcome bag.  The options are endless!  Our friends over at Asheville Beverage, can for sure help you out with outsourcing beer for your wedding, or even get a keg from one of these awesome breweries.  They know whats up, and are always happy to help you with all your alcohol options for your Asheville NC wedding.  Cheers!

I love following our Asheville wedding beauty experts on social media to see the latest trends in wedding hair.  It is constantly changing.  From curls, to up-dos, to half and half, it is always fun to see the different styles.  One tip I have learnt from Asheville Hair and Hughes Hair Design, is when you attend your trial bring some sample pictures of what you want.  However, don’t bring a hair style and just say “I want that”… Why? Well maybe your hair isn’t the right type for that.  Maybe your hair is too think or too thick to rock a certain style.  That being said this is why they are wedding experts!  We trust them, and you should to! They will be able to create something beautiful and fitting just for you.

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!
