When picking your weddings vendors, I find that a great way to pick a vendor that suits your style, is by checking out their social media accounts.  It is not only fun to see what weddings that they have recently done, but they are professionals at what they do.  They are always down to share some great tips with you.

That being said, 2015 is finally here and it is always nice to reflect and check in with each of our amazing wedding professionals in Asheville NC and see what news they are sharing through social media!

This week, since I am sure many of us have had some delicious meals through out the holidays, we will be checking in with Colorful Palate!  Colorful Palate is one of Asheville NC finest caterers.  They are not only extremely professional and have a booming business in Asheville, but they are most definitely true Asheville NC Chefs! They are always sharing the best tips and news on Facebook.

For example, looking for the most delicious drink? Colorful Palate shared a link about how to make the most perfect Old-Fashion!  It is never too late to work on perfecting the perfect drink!

In the Asheville NC event world, they are constantly getting the best reviews! Examples below…

“Stephanie said…

We got married in western NC on the most beautiful late October weekend. I’ll never forget our first meeting with Colorful Palate, and how fun it was to go taste testing! My husband and I were completely blown away by the food and how it was simple, yet creative, and each item had a personal twist. We ended up hiring Colorful Palate to cater our Rehearsal Dinner, breakfast and lunch on Saturday morning, our Wedding Dinner on Saturday night, and then Sunday morning for our guests. They were able to help us create the most unforgettable and DELICIOUS menu! Our guests are still raving over the food! It was delicious. Everything was fresh and perfect. Not to mention the tasty food, but the entire staff is absolutely a joy to work with. They are professional, kind, creative, talented, and extremely helpful with any request you may have. We are so lucky that we had the chance to work with them! Wish we had more words to describe how amazing this caterer is!”

“A HUGE thank you to you and your staff for making our event such a success! The Farm was a highlight and a favorite for our guests. The food was off the chart!!!! Every detail was appreciated and noticed. Your staff went above and beyond.”

And… they are always participating in helping others and taking part in the Asheville NC community.  From selling their AMAZING Pimento Cheese at local shops to helping the Asheville Chili Cookoff gain participants to help benefit the Jeff Bowen Foundation.  They keep you constantly updated on Facebook! Make sure to check them out!

They are truly a great team and are a huge asset to StudioWed Asheville!

Asheville NC has always been a hot spot for fall and spring weddings.  However, a trend that seems to becoming more and more popular are winter weddings in the mountains.  Which is such a great idea!  North Carolina is known for its weather, so it is safe to say that you probably won’t get snowed out, and instead will enjoy a beautiful winter sunset!  The StudioWed Asheville wedding professionals have been booking more and more weddings in the winter time and we are definitely excited about it.

Recently Sunday Grant Photography shot a beautiful wedding at the Grove Park Inn.  Many other StudioWed members participated as well, Verge Events, Hughes Hair Design, and Studio Flora Diva.  Thanks to Sunday here are some sneak peak photos from the wedding.  Check out this gorgeous shot of the couple in a Grove Park Inn old car.

Fun Tip :: Thinking about getting married in Asheville NC?  You should follow the StudioWed photographers Facebook pages.  They are are constantly updating them with recent engagement shoots, to weddings that they have recently shot.  It is a great way to get some ideas for your Asheville NC wedding and to find the right photographer for you.

The couple also had some gorgeous vintage china settings at their reception.
