Jazz Era Elegance Abounds at This Music-Filled Wedding at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Friday, May 4, 2012
A real wedding straight from the bride... Brittany actually contacted us herself before Regalo Design could even think to tell us about this beautiful wedding! Regalo acted as the event planners, floral designers, provided rentals, and saved the day when unexpected rain forced the ceremony indoors. Whether from the bride or the vendor, we are just happy to share this wedding with you.

Music City Events + Joe Hendricks Photography Create + Capture Romance for Houston Station Couple
Friday, April 20, 2012
We recently finished our Smart Bride Bootcamp with the last session at Houston Station where brides got to take a tour of the facilities. So we thought it'd be cool to feature a wedding that took there, so you don't miss out on anything either! Houston Station really is a decor and design playground. When bride and groom, Kelli and Anthony got married at Houston Station, they personalized their wedding with monograms and custom stationery to match their purple and blue theme. The couple worked with Music City Events to create a romantic evening, adding a fun twist with some personalized signature drinks for the evening. Enjoy!

Friday, April 13, 2012
Kevin and Leah are graduates of our 2011 Smart Bride Bootcamp, but you may recognize them from our 2012 camp. They returned this year to share what they learned while planning their Nashville wedding. If you missed the camp, you truly missed a treat. They were lively, entertaining and very honest about what they loved and learned through the process! I can't sufficiently recap all of their nuggets of wisdom, but here's what you definitely need to know...

Bridal Boot Camp Graduates, Erin + Josh, Wed at Marathon Village with Vintage, American Style
Friday, April 6, 2012
I had the pleasure of meeting Erin and Josh at our 2011 Smart Bride Boot Camp. Over the 3 week camp, they shared their vision for their wedding and what mattered most to them. This was a couple in love and one with a signature style, so I couldn't wait to see how they would personalize their wedding to ensure it represented them, authentically.
We featured their fun engagement photos last Fall (which you can view via this link). And today, we are excited to share their wedding photos to inspire you to stay true to what's unqiuely you.

Friday, March 30, 2012
Today is Part 2 of Jessica and Gordie's wedding coverage - we're focusing on the photo booth aspect of their reception!
According to Elaine of Picture This Nashville, Jessica played a big role in customizing her Picture This guest book and as a result, "It's amazing." We agree! Because her guest book turned out so great and everyone enjoyed the photo booth aspect, we wanted to share more photos of just that. Now, you can get a feel for what Picture This Nashville offers.

Wedding of Week: Jess + Gordie’s Board Game Wedding at Cellar One Pops with Personality - Pt. 1
Thursday, March 29, 2012
Jessica and Gordie won the Her Nashville wedding contest last year and their wedding has been featured in many publications, but we were all too happy to feature it ourselves with all the incredible details! We have already spotlighted their board game cake as one of favorites from 2011, but the whole affair is worth seeing.
We hope you enjoy their lovely outdoor ceremony and indoor reception with a game board theme. The theme came from Gordie's proposal with a game of Pictionary!

Wedding of the Week: Couple Wed on Romantic, Round Stage, Then Host Reception at All-in-One Space
Friday, March 23, 2012
More and more couples are moving towards all-in-one venues where they can have their ceremony and reception in the same location. Sometimes, it's because you don't have a church home; other times, it's because you don't want the hassle of moving everyone and everything from one location to another and find it more simple (and often more affordable) to stay in one place.

Want an Outdoor Wedding Without Worrying About A Tent for Rain? Front Porch Farms Has You Covered
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
No one wishes for a rainy wedding day. But with an average of 107 wet days in Nashville, it's bound to happen. (By the way October is the driest month in Nashville.) What are your options? Opt for an indoor venue, even though you heart is set on an outdoor wedding, or pay for a tent (that you may not even use) just in case? The decision is tough. Is there another way to have the outdoor feel that you desire without having to rent a tent? Front Porch Farms has a solution!

Wedding of the Week: A Rustic, Autumn Wedding With Antique Touches at Historic Cedarwood
Friday, March 16, 2012
My job rocks. I get to look at beautiful weddings from blogs and I get to share my favorites with you. Today's favorite is from Cedarwood, a historic wedding venue known for its designer weddings. The wedding is a beautiful, antique-inspired event from last Fall with really cool details. I'm not sure which I liked more - the vintage photographs and props or the custom signage - but I'm sure you will enjoy it all!

From Save the Dates to Reception Fun, Couple Enjoys Photo Booth At Belle Meade Plantation Wedding
Friday, March 2, 2012
Photo booths are fun! Very few people would disagree with that statement, but Amanda and Nate wholeheartedly agree. While planning their wedding and deciding on how they wanted their guests to feel, this couple kept returning to one word - fun. They decided to create a small photo booth theme to help kickstart the fun at the reception. The key: Photo Booth Nashville. Between their save the dates, a wall of photos at the reception, props around the room and mustaches at the tables, plus Photo Booth Nashville on hand... Amanda and Nate's guests not only had fun, they had a memory to take home with them.

Regalo Design Creates Elegance At Union Station, A Historic Downtown Nashville Venue
Friday, February 24, 2012
There's something so interesting and exciting with weddings that happen in downtown Nashville. Not only do we have a beautiful city skyline and interesting architecture, but it's great to see how brides bring their visions to life in venues that are already decorated. It's cool to see how the couples look at their surroundings, how they incorporate their style and most of all, how the wedding pros involved help to execute. In today's real wedding, Regalo Design proves that, aside from being great planners, they're not too shabby with decor and design either!

Today's wedding planned by Music City Events takes us to the whimsical, colorful festival of Mardi Gras at Durego, one of Nashville's newer venues. We hope this wedding inspires you if a festival theme is what you're thinking of doing for yours! Enjoy!

African American Culture Meets New Orleans Fun at this Romantic, Gaylord Springs Wedding
Friday, February 3, 2012
Nashville is full of so many venues, and here we are sharing a venue we have yet to feature - the Gaylord Springs Golf Course. Yes, even with the Southern charm of Nashville, you can still have a lovely wedding on an award-winning golf course.
James and Shannon sent us their outdoor wedding to view and we were all too happy! They chose a more modern, but very classy venue for a very timless feel. Even with a vintage, classic edge, the couple still showed their personality and fun side by giving a nod to Shannon's hometown, New Orleans, at the reception.

We Love This Wedding: Rachel + Brett Wed With Local + Vintage Style
Friday, January 27, 2012
We love when photographer friends share unique and Nashville stamped weddings with us. What says Nashville more than a local indie roots band and a historic, southern venue? This wedding has both! Plus, the bride, Rachel is a photographer herself! She photographed Cali Ashton's wedding and Cali returned the favor. These two gals did great justice to each other's special days. We are just too happy to share Rachel's day. Thanks to Nyk, Cali's husband, for emailing everything over. Nyk had some great things to say about the wedding...
