A War Memorial Wedding with Understated Elegance
Friday, April 15, 2011
With so many current themes for weddings, from peacock feathers to whimiscal Anthropogie-style, I'm sure it's hard for couples to go in a different direction. Not Randi & Dan. This beautiful couple married in downtown Nashville at the War Memorial Auditorium and opted for a purely elegant wedding with polish and refined decor. Through their Nashville wedding feature, we take a step back and go with design that will stand the test of time.

Caprice of The Enchanted Florist told us that Mercedes (bride) wanted a "lush and romantic" wedding.

Lovely Lanterns - Kristin & Lewis’ Wedding with McNeal Wedding Video
Thursday, February 10, 2011
Since it's been a rather frigid, cold week, we thought we'd whisk you away to a warmer time of the year to a pretty spectacular wedding on the grounds of the bride's parent's home. Lush greenery, beautiful surroundings with the evening topped off with the coolest element I've seen at a wedding so far - hot air balloons. Before you get all incredulous on me, let me just preface this by saying these aren't ordinary hot air balloons. You'll just have to keep reading to see what I mean. Here with a wonderful recap of the day is Cheryl from McNeal Wedding Films. Taken from Cheryl's Notes on their blog, we get to relive the day as they saw it. Enjoy!

Missing Warmer Days? Enjoy A Summer “Destination Nashville” Wedding
Thursday, December 23, 2010
With temperatures of 20 degrees, it's easy to forget our hot Nashville summers. In fact, with a heat index of 100 degrees, Nashville brides often avoid planning a summer wedding. But not, Dan (and ER doctor) and Amanda (a nurse) who both reside in Michigan. They choose to have a Destination Nashville; and for them, August 14th was a day to remember.

Tuxedo Tale: A Stylish Groom Shares His Tuxedo Shopping Adventure
Thursday, December 16, 2010
As women, we know exactly where to go to find inspiration when shopping for our wedding gown. There are magazines galore, websites and blogs, movies, TV shows, the internet... but for the guys, unless they're willing to browse through your girly magazines and sites, they're left with maybe movies or friends' weddings for references. Sometimes the grooms are left to their own devices and in the case of today's groom, he did a great job, but it wasn't without a bit of elbow grease!

It takes a talented eye to just look around at everyday settings to find inspiration for a special occasion.

An AMAZING Nashville Wedding, Full of Color and Culture
Friday, December 3, 2010
After a crash course in traditional Chinese weddings when my husband and I got married, I have a newfound respect for ethnic wedding traditions from all over. There are no shortcuts; every little thing is symbolic and the wedding ceremonies, though long, are as beautiful and meaningful as they are elaborate. In today's real wedding feature, we get a quick glimpse into what I can only imagine to be an amazing day for Sneha and Lee. Starting with a traditional Indian wedding ceremony, the couple cap the night off with an elegant reception. The wedding was photographed by McLellan Style (who we LOVE) and planned/coordinated by A Delightful Day Event Planning (who we also LOVE). It's thanks to them that we get to share this spectacular wedding with you!
