Whenever us wedding vendors see that Colorful Palate is the caterer hired for the wedding we are working at we get pretty excited around here.  Yes we do get a vendor meal that is delicious, but we also know that the wedding guest are going to be filled with happy bellies! They can not only cook pretty much anything, and set up the food stations to look beautiful , but they are also the best to work with.  We love the team at Colorful Palate, and have loved that they have been apart of StudioWed Asheville for so long now!

Tip :: Your vendors are going to need to eat while working all night at your wedding.  Which means you will need to provide them with a vendor meal.  Make sure to ask a head of time if your vendors have any allergies and how many meals they will need (especially when it comes to the band).  Trust us, you want your vendors to be happy while working your wedding.  No hangry vendors please!

Events by Kiersa blog has always been one of our favorite blogs to follow.  Kiersa is one of the top wedding planners here in Asheville NC, and her blog always has everything from great ideas to real weddings that she and her team have planned themselves.  That being said here is a taste of some of the great articles that are currently on Events by Kiersa blog.

How to choose the best event team and how to go about doing it?  This blog post is everything for what StudioWed Asheville is about.  So many great tips!

“The first lesson, often learned the hard way, is you cannot do it all. You may have the knowledge, experience and desire, but you may not have the time. Decisions and execution of those decisions are always tied to deadlines when it comes to planning an event. Decor must be sourced with enough lead time to ship to your destination, yet floral installments cannot take place until hours before the event. Then, you begin thinking of your closest friends who happen to be the best at making crowd-pleasing fare. But wait! You want them to enjoy the pleasure of being a guest at your event, right? Right.” – Events By Kiersa

“The options are widespread when it comes to events that call for place cards and signage.  Mother Earth provides materials in a variety of colors suitable for taking on your penmanship skills.  Wood slices, small branches, natural fiber paper, large nuts, river rocks, thick skinned fruits and veggies, and all shapes and sizes of leaves name just a few of the options available. ” – Events by Kiersa

How exciting! Biltmore Farms has redesigned their website, and in result they have an expansive wedding gallery that you need to check out.

A little while ago, the StudioWed Asheville team got together to create a beautiful styled photo shoot at both The Doubletree Asheville and The Hilton to show you what you can do with the space for your Asheville wedding.  Your guest can have the pleasure of staying at one of the Biltmore Farms hotels and also be able to attend your wedding all in the same location.  We all know how much we love staying in the same hotel that the wedding is at! Both hotels are different in their own way, and both have amazing spaces to work with for your wedding.  Check out the pictures below for some Asheville wedding inspiration!

Also, a HUGE thank you to all the StudioWed Asheville vendors who helped make this happen.
