We love unexpected design elements, especially when they can make a huge impact for your guests. We are obsessed with dressed up bar fronts! Just about every single guest is going to go to the bar so there is no need for a simple skirted banquet table to serve as your bar.

Bar fronts can be made from just about any material like metal, wood, paper, cloth or even repurposed everyday items and can be dressed for a more modern, traditional look or the vintage, rustic design. We are having a hard time picking our favorite bar front!

The girls over at Asheville’s wedding caterer The Colorful Palate make some pretty amazing food. So much so that their pimento cheese with True South Foods was featured in the July and August WNC Magazine. Check out their spread on pages 64-65 in the magazine or read it in the online WNC Magazine. You can also find True South Foods at Woolworth Walk Soda Fountain, Livi’s Pantry, Artisan Gourmet Market , 12 Bones South, Hickory Nut Gap Farm Store and NC Stage’s “Snack Bar”.

Finding your venue is one of the first thing’s most couples do after getting engaged, especially because you do need a date in order to do just about anything else. Every venue prices differently and includes different things. Some come with tables, chairs and linens while others only include the use of the space. It’s important to know how your venue handles these items in order to be able to compare venues more accurately. We’ve complied some questions to ask your venue on your visits.

How long do you have the venue for?

Is food and beverage required to go through the venue? {if you don’t already know}

How do payments work?

Are there any fees or commissions that the venue takes on vendors?

Capacity?

Any noise restrictions?

What’s included in the rental of the facility?

Does the venue handle outside rentals?
