Unless you live under a rock or maybe some remote island with no social media (or ANY media for that matter), you must know that the ROYAL WEDDING IS THIS FRIDAY!

Everyone’s going nuts about William & Kate’s nuptials, and rightly so. This is the first big royal wedding since Charles & Diana’s in ’81, and everyone seems to be involved in the hullabaloo.

What can you expect from StudioWed Nashville? For your joy and delight, this week we have a series of blog posts headed your way, ranging from a royal inspiration board to recommendations from StudioWed vendors as to how they’d help plan the royal wedding! Get excited!

Are you planning on staying up (or waking up) for the early-morning airing of their wedding?! Comment below!

Dresses aren’t the only things that change styles from year to year! Last month Ashley’s Bride Guide interviewed StudioWed Bakery, Crumb de la Crumb, on the most recent trends in the wedding cake realm.

Here are a few excerpts from the original post!

– Vintage is huge.

From patterns to actual cake toppers, antique touches are finding their way all over cake world!  That vintage-y, Anthropologie style infusion that’s hitting the event world big right now is being reflected right down to the dessert.

– Tall tiers!

As a tiered cake lover myself, I’m all about the towering, visually stimulating styles of this trend. Love it.

– Details are where it’s at.

“This year, details and embellishments are taking cakes to another level of gorgeous! More brides and grooms are shying away from simplistic designs and opting for cakes with elaborate styles that give cakes that extra ‘wow’ factor.”  This also leads into the next trend….

– Glam factor.

From Martha Stewart Weddings to Weddings Unveiled, anywhere you look, sparkly brooches, rhinestones, shimmer, and glitter are EVERYWHERE.  Invading everything from your bouquet to your cake, bling reigns supreme.

If you’d like for us to set up an appointment for you to meet with Lorie from Crumb de la Crumb, email us at leigh@studiowed.net or call 615-739-5477!

The lovely ladies of the Bride Room just returned from their annual Spring Bridal Market trip to New York!

Here’s what they have to say:

“This season, our designers were at once fabulous and understated; sculpted and soft; safe and daring; romantic, sexy, traditional, and modern. Strapless still dominates the runway, but we are seeing the return of the sleeve and innovative uses of coverage. Belts are still making a powerful statement, as well as texture, ruffles, and the beloved sweetheart neckline.

Some of our favorite recurring themes had to be the use of subtle color on gowns – blush tones and rich honey hues; the return of decadent, luxurious fabrics like silk mikado and silk satin; and the obvious, relevant, ever-present influence of a-wedding-fit-for-a-princess.”

Sounds amazing!!! One of my very favorite details of a wedding day is The Dress… I’m so excited to see what the new crop looks like!  Here’s a few of the dresses I love the most from their post…
