StudioWed Nashville | Planning Your Honeymoon with 2 Travel Anywhere, LLC

Your perfect wedding has just ended and now it’s time for an amazing and well-deserved vacation…but the last thing you want to do during the planning process is frantically try to book flights and hotels for your dream getaway. With the help of Carlie Finch of 2 Travel Anywhere – an elite honeymoon travel consultant – planning the perfect, relaxing honeymoon is a breeze. Carlie is a certified Sandals specialist and 2 Travel Anywhere is committed to searching for the best honeymoon free of charge. In a recent interview with Carlie, I was able to get all of the details on the perks of hiring an experienced honeymoon consultant.

Why is this is a better option than a do-it-yourself travel website?

There are so many reasons why you should consider 2 Travel Anywhere, LLC to plan your dream honeymoon. We are not your typical travel agency. We specialize in honeymoon planning and making sure that the two of you have nothing to worry about but enjoying time together. The internet is filled with information about travel, and it takes a lot of time to sort through everything to find exactly what you are looking for. You can spend those countless hours on the internet searching for the best honeymoon spot and still not find what you want. Contacting us to help book your dream honeymoon is stress-free. We will send you as many options as you like until finding the perfect option, saving you from being stressed out about where to start.

In today’s economy, budgeting and getting the best deal for your money is always important. That’s why Carlie works with your budget.

Every couple has their own budget. The question is what type of honeymoon do you want? When deciding on your budget, you must think about activities: spa date? dinner on the beach? or maybe something different the both you may enjoy doing. We will make sure you have your once in a lifetime honeymoon within the budget that works best for the two of you.

So what makes planning your Honeymoon different than planning any other vacation?

Your honeymoon should be more than just your typical vacation. You typically only get one honeymoon, so you want this once in a lifetime experience to be a trip you will remember the rest of your lives. The honeymoon is about the two of you celebrating the beginning of the rest of your lives in the destination that matters most to the two of you which is so much more than your normal vacation.

For those of you who have already booked a hotel or honeymoon destination, here is some last minute advice from the honeymoon guru herself:

Definitely be sure to start gathering the items you want to bring with you for your honeymoon a few weeks before the wedding. Be prepared the week before your wedding! The last thing you want to worry about is packing your bags, so be sure to try to and pack early. When it comes to your honeymoon, you can never be too prepared. Be attentive to how much you pack: too much and your bag will be over the weight limit of 50 lbs. …too little and you may have to buy some things you didn’t pack. Also, be sure to bring a copy of your wedding invitation or marriage certificate with you. Most resorts want proof that this is your honeymoon. Some resorts will offer something special for the two of you celebrating your honeymoon.

There you have it! All of the tips and tricks on how to achieve the honeymoon of your dreams. Contact us at elizabeth@studiowed.net to set up a consultation with Carlie. You will be glad you did!

StudioWed Nashville Photo of the Week | Joe Hendricks Photography

We love this picture from Joe Hendricks Photography! Happy Friday!!

I just got home from a wedding and I wanted to post one shot, because lately I’ve been looking at sites like “Fearless Photographers” and it’s pushing me to think differently. Today, I knew I wanted the Bride and Groom to lay on the ground and shoot them from above, but I was also going to have the entire wedding party lay down also. At the last second, I switched it… and this is what it looked like. – Joe Hendricks

Studiowed Nashville Vendor Spotlight: Nashville Event Lighting
This February, we were so gracious to welcome Nashville Event Lighting to our collection of StudioWed exclusive vendors.  We asked Liz Bok from NEL to elaborate on the importance of lighting at weddings and how it fits into the grand scheme of your big day. She also provided some fantastic ideas and tips on current trends and ways to make your lighting both functional and ambient! Get your questions answered on this week’s….
Why is lighting so important at weddings?

Lighting makes a huge and subtle impact and weddings – seems like an oxymoron, I know – but it’s true!  Whether it’s a pin spot to highlight a fantastic wedding cake, a glamorous chandelier over a dance floor, or ambient uplights around a room, lighting can transform a space with the flip of a switch.  It really is amazing to see before and after photos, and it’s something not everyone appreciates before understanding what it can do!
What types of lighting are most commonly used at weddings?

Some of the most basic lighting elements that provide ambience at weddings are uplights, lighting on the dance floor, and a highlight or pin spot on the cake or dessert table. Whether it’s a rustic venue with brick walls or beautiful draping from floor to ceiling, uplights soften a space and also provide functional lighting around the perimeter.
How should I choose my lighting colors?

It really depends on the look you’re going for, and choosing colors is something we often help clients decide!  You want to stay away from greens and blues onto skin tones, and pale pinks are a nice way to highlight a bar or food station.  Pops of color are fun to incorporate, and if the budget allows, having the lighting in a room change color throughout the night can completely change the ambience.  A soft amber to provide a candle-lit glow for dinner and toasting that fades into a purple or pink for dancing can completely change the vibe!  It all depends on personality & flow – you want lighting to compliment, not compete with the reception.  And – sometimes it’s not about using a ton of color, but about chandelier placement or Italian string lights!
What trends are you seeing right now in weddings?

Chandeliers, specifically custom chandeliers have been very popular lately.  Whether it’s a glamorous crystal chandelier or a more industrial Edison bulb look, brides and grooms love to put their unique twist into their reception and more and more are doing that with custom lighting pieces & configurations.  Keep your eyes peeled for some unique chandelier placement coming from NEL this spring! :)  Italian String Lighting is also popular and fun, especially in different designs than seen last year!
How will lighting affect my photography? Should I be concerned about it interfering?

Professional photographers are fantastic and seem to truly appreciate good lighting. Having your wedding cake highlighted with a pin spot, a soft light wash on the head table, or a custom monogram in lights provides opportunities for them to capture the details of your reception as clearly as you remember it!  We are always mindful of photographers’ shots when planning out a lighting design – like avoiding colored lighting on white wedding gowns or multi-color LED’s flashing around a dance floor in a reception with soft white lighting, draping and candles – again, compliment, not compete!
