We asked our amazing StudioWed vendors what they love about what they do in the wedding industry. For the next few weeks we’ll be writing what they said! Kicking us off is Chef Jim of Chef’s Market…

Why we love catering weddings:

1. We love seeing the bride and groom so happy, it’s a truly special day.
2. We love seeing everything come together from the menu to the tablescape after months of meetings, emails, phone calls and tastings and we love seeing the guests and the bride and groom enjoying the food!
3. It’s very rewarding to have couples stop by the restaurant for dinner after we’ve catered their wedding. We love seeing them come back through the years and watching as their families grow.

Thanks, Chef Jim! We’re so happy to have Chef’s Market‘s incredible catering service as a part of our Studio.

Congratulations to Kristin Kaplan of Simply Stunning Events on her precious baby, Hayden Marie!

Kristin is now on maternity leave until September 6th, but will still be checking emails twice a week and responding to all potential client inquiries. Let us know if you’d like to schedule an appointment to meet with her after September 6th or with her Associate Planner, Ashley!

I grew up on a farm with horses. While I haven’t ridden one in quite a few years, something about horse motifs and pretty equestrian details seems oh-so-lovely when it comes to weddings.  One of my all-time favorite wedding venues is the Belle Meade Plantation… stable gorgeousness. I die. Enjoy!

From top left, clockwise:  handpressed, horse figurine, boots, short dress, horseshoe prettiness, ring shot, corbel, diy ribbon, more boots, roses, horseshoe details, menu, postcard invite, bit bracelet.

Inspiringly,
