We hosted our first-ever StudioWed Signature Event, the Wedding Experience, last Sunday. It was a gorgeous day… all the spring blossoms at Cedarwood were in full bloom, the sky was perfect, and there was a delightful warm breeze that carried throughout the afternoon.
This mixture of metallics with burlap, rustic with glamorous was an interesting combination by Cedarwood!
Beautiful draping by Blue Nova… and the classic lounge seating area by Classic Party Rentals.
Lotus Blossom Photography‘s booth was whimsical and fun.
Amber from Sweet Life Designs never disappoints with her cutesy displays!
Yellow is my favorite, and Hillary’s Brocade design was a fresh take on a spring centerpiece.
Mary Alice (A Delightful Day) and Kristin (Simply Stunning) answered questions and gave their take on wedding wisdom at the educational seminars.
Chef’s Market provided tasty wraps that had my mouth watering around 10:30AM, haha!
I cannot stress to you enough how scrumptious Crumb de la Crumb‘s Patron-infused crumbteenies were.
And last but not least, all the StudioWed brides who attended got to walk away with swag bags… as well as a wealth of planning knowledge! Thanks to everyone who came out, vendors and brides alike!
[Participating vendors not mentioned above: Cosmo Creations, Clean Plate Club, Street Tuxedo, Nashville Audio Visual, White Table Linens, Grand Avenue, Events at 1418, Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt, McNeal Wedding Films, and FocalPoint Cinematic.]
It was a beautiful day and a huge success. Keep posted via our StudioWed Blog for more information about future StudioWed Signature Events!
