StudioWed’s own Asheville wedding florist, Studio Flora Diva, was recently featured in CeCe Style for this amazing table setup below.  Beth, along with planner Ivy Robinson, created this table scape that to me is absolutely stunning.

Now if you are getting married in Asheville, you may be saying why is this girl showing me a picture of a table at the beach?  Good question.  I was immediately drawn to this photo because it takes risks.  Not many people would have pushed the table up to the ocean.  They would have backed it up and had the ocean as the backdrop, not part of the design.

So my question to you…what are you doing that is different for your wedding?  One of my favorite things to do in planning a wedding is to see a place that we can do something different that has not been done before.  You do not always have to do the “this is how its done” mentality.  If you want something different, just ask!  Granted, some times we need to heed the guidance of a venue because they know there space, and know what works the best logistically.  However, they will let you know if something you want to do will not work for one reason or another.

So go for it!  Be bold and be different.  It is your wedding afterall!

Last year we held a party for The Knot Magazine and all of our local industry partners here in Asheville, and it is in the current issue of The Knot North Carolina!  The clean sleek design by Asheville florist, Studio Flora Diva, consisted of custom navy and magenta linens and over 1200 flowers!!  All the linens were handmade by Atlanta Linen Designer, I Do Linens.  Guests dined on a modern melange of ethnic, southern, and locally sourced food all provided by Asheville caterer, The Colorful Palate.  Sweet treats, provided by Asheville wedding cake baker, Cakes by Jane,  suspended from the loft ceiling of Coleman Place.  We really wanted to do something unexpected  and unique – and show off all of our talented Asheville wedding vendors of StudioWed!

Many, many thanks to all the vendors who participated listed above, as well as Asheville wedding photographer, Jill Schwarzkopf with Realities Photography, beverages by Asheville Wine Studio, music and lighting by Asheville wedding dj, Dylan Skidmore with Blazin Sounds Entertainment, Asheville event rentals by Classic Event Rental, Asheville wedding invitations and paper, The Baggie Goose, and favors from Asheville salon and spa, Suraj, as well as Hotel Indigo.

Weddings can run late. No matter what you do, you can always be just a few minutes behind. While you’re still getting ready your guests are sitting in their chairs patiently memorizing your program. Create a program that incorporates games about the bride and groom like crossword puzzles, word searches, or mad libs to name a few. Not only will your guests be entertained but they might also learn something new about the couple. At my own wedding, we placed a crossword puzzle in our program and our guests raved about it! For those hot summer weddings, provide your guests with a fan, complete with a pencil. You can also set one at each place setting for guests to peruse while the reception gets started. There are tons of online programs to make crossword and word searches, here is one of them.

Our StudioWed Asheville vendor, the Baggie Goose, [the source for all elements with paper and weddings related in Asheville and beyond] can also do these for you!  They are fantastic at taking an idea and running with it – and it always looks great!  You can reach them at 828.274.3333.  You can also find them on facebook here.
