We are truly humbled at the number of people who came out yesterday to give blood at our local Red Cross.  To see not only our Asheville wedding industry come out and support, but as well as the community as a whole.  I learned so much about the process of giving blood, and what a demand it really is in.  Did you know that by donating, you can save 3 lives?  And that once you have donated, the blood is good for 42 days?

By sponsoring a Donor Day at our local chapter, and driving for donors – we helped save 72 lives!  And we were so proud that one of the phlebotomists {the sweet people who draw the blood} said that she had 5 donors in a row that were 1st time donors…and all of them came on behalf of StudioWed.  Wow!  Thank you to our wedding industry, and to our community for supporting this great, great cause.

Here are a few of the brave, brave souls!  Many thanks to my hubs, Ian, for giving blood {almost passing out after a 4 minute blood draw, which is extremely quick. too quick!} and then stay to help cheer people on, and take these pics!  And thank you to The Doubletree {Kathy and Lauren came out and represented!} for bringing the famous Doubletree cookies!

Thanks again to everyone!  And please, if you can, give blood.  Not just on a day that someone is sponsoring a donor day, but anytime that you can.  It really does save lives!

So proud to give major props to our own Asheville wedding cake baker, Cakes by Jane, and Asheville wedding photographer, Realities Photography who both received The Best of Asheville award by the US Commerce Association!  Both are part of our team at StudioWed.

Way to go to these amazing companies and locally owned businesses!

We are so happy to see this StudioWed Asheville wedding published!  The bride, Ashley, initially booked Asheville wedding photographer, Jill Schwarzkopf with Realities Photography.  Ashley and Ken were planning their Asheville wedding within a few months, due to both of their crazy work schedules {who can’t relate to that?!} They turned to StudioWed to help in pulling together their vendor team…and it was truly wonderful to see it all come together!

From the bride… “”Thank you so much to Jill Schwarzkopf with Realities Photography as well as Nicole Riley and the entire StudioWed Asheville team for the wedding of my dreams! So awesome that they published this!”
