Hello all ye faithful readers – It’s Monday. But, instead of the usual heavy sighs and painful eye rolls, get excited! We’ve already got your weekend plans in store. Whether you got engaged over Christmas, you’re going to say yes Friday night, or you are just now getting the ball rolling on your planning, StudioWed is the place to make it all come together. Start your dream-day planning with us – a ONE-STOP-SHOP for wedding planning, where you can find Atlanta’s BEST industry professionals all under one roof. Everything from the photographer to the caterer, the florist to the cake and all of the fun details that fall in between–StudioWed has it all.

The monthly Open House gives you (and your groom, your mom, your BFF) the chance to stop in for a personalized tour of our cozy (NEW) home in the West Midtown district. Flip through endless inspiration books, meet some of our vendors face-to-face, sample sweet treats and tasty cocktails and get ready to plan your big day in a flash. That’s a simple, stress-free flash.

Take it from me-a StudioWed bride herself-that centering your nuptials around this nook of incredible talent makes for one phenomenal trip down the aisle!

D&R Films tells a story like no other! Check out this teaser from a local wedding this past April – we can’t wait to see more!

I swear to you that a day does not pass where I am not floored, awed or inspired by one (or, in this case several) of our StudioWed vendors. From the level of creativity they possess to the capacity for ingenuity that they constantly display, it’s never short of amazing and I feel lucky enough to have experienced just the teensiest part of it for my own wedding.

This month’s Occasions Magazine gets released with an absolute plethora of StudioWed talent. Congrats to all the vendors for their outstanding work that not only deserves it’s publish, but is sure to inspire the upcoming brides this season!

Good Morning ladies and gentlemen! Today marks the first Friday of a new and exciting blog series here at StudioWed. Basically, the summer heat is here a little early, which means nothing less than an onslaught of patio parties and summer soirees that you’ll be hosting, attending or dreaming about.

Now, you know that StudioWed vendors do nothing short of a phenomenal shindig, whether it’s luscious linens, gorgeous tablescapes or that perfect haute-host look, but let’s get real folks–it ain’t a party without the punch!

Lyght House Cocktails is serving up a mosaic of lip-smacking libations to get your parties started. Check us out every Friday for something new, fruity, chillacious and fun.

Start with 1-2 oz of your favorite brand of light rum… Add 2 tablespoons of simple syrup and give it your best shake. In a separate glass, toss in a handful of muddled mint leaves… Add in ice and throw into your Rum mix. Top it off with a splash of Club Soda and (if you’re really feeling summer-y) garnish with a ruby red strawberry.

In a word? “ahhh”
