My New Fave Wedding Planning Book

I’m completely obsessed with a new book on weddings, Style Your Dream Wedding. It’s a great way to find your bride style and determine “your look” for each category - flowers, cake, etc. I know you’ll love this book too!

When I saw Cakes by Shara at a Nashville bridal show, it was love at first sight! Maybe because her work is so contemporary and fun, which resonates 100% with my personality (I’d like to think I’m contemporary:).

Shara does amazing work and strives to work with all budgets - giving couture brides the luxe they crave and bargain brides the look for less. That’s my kind of girl - able to bring Old Navy and Banana Republic - under one roof!

In addition to offering great services to brides, she also has a strong commitment to the Nashville community at large - she does amazing “cause” cakes, like this one, created for a domestic violence group’s, big baby shower. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!

Several Nashville brides have asked for my help in finding a wedding photographer under $2000. I know it’s a challenge but not impossible. Shana Mahoney Photography is a great option for Middle TN brides seeking a great value. Nearly all of Shanna’s packages are under $2000 and she prides herself in affordable, quality photography. Her style is classic and traditional. So, no matter your wedding budget, you can hire a professional like Shanna to capture your once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Jenna of JHenderson is our newest Nashville wedding vendor. She’s also a recent Nashville bride who just happens to be a professional wedding photographer, so she really “gets” Tennessee brides and knows tons of spots for great photos. She has a love for natural light, which is apparent in her beautiful photography. Check out her amazing portfolio and tell her Ashley sent ya!

Welcome New Wedding Vendor!

Rhonda Patton Weddings is our newest Nashville wedding vendor. She is an event floral designer, which means that she works with you or your planner to make any space beautiful. Her floral designs are amazing but her creativity extends beyond flowers. I always love my chats with her because she is oh-so creative and has a knack for creating glam on a budget. So whether your budget is $10K or $80K, she can get you an amazing look for less.
