Nashville Bride’s Tall Order: Super Chic, Modern yet Southern Wedding at The Cannery
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Originally from Singapore, Nashville was the first Southern city I visited in America. And after living here for more than 10 years, the people are still wonderful, the hospitality is great and the food... oh the food! I swoon just thinking about it. Southern food is delicious. It brings "comfort food" to a whole new level.
It's no surprise couples choose a hearty, might-as-well-be-home-made menu of classic Southern dishes to serve at their weddings. Down South Delights is one catering company that know how to satisfy that desire for some downhome cookin'.
Warning: Reading their blog is like going to the grocery store - don't do it on an empty stomach because you will want to eat everything you see! They seem to have such a flair for Southern fare (and, really, cuisine of any kind).

Barbara wanted a super chic modern wedding with Tiffany blue & chocolate integrated throughout the reception. They chose The Cannery as their venue which we are now on the list as one of their preferred caterers!! We started working with the couple last April and catered the engagement party too!
Mini Salads
For the menu they chose our strawberry almond chicken tarts, hot buttered seafood dip, a lavish fruit & cheese display, butter pecan chicken tenders w/ blackberry Dijon, a mashed potato martini station, garlic Cheddar biscuits with praline ham, Bourbon beef tenderloin on cream biscuits, zucchini artichoke fritters w/ spicy marinara, a mini salad display, and a spinach artichoke dip.

Since the reception began in the evening the couple wanted the hors d’ oeuvres to be substantial and filling.
Courtney of A Magical Affair was the planner and we absolutely LOVE working with her and her team.They also designed the enormous candy buffet that was a hit all evening long.
The decor was handled by One Source Weddings which had a beautiful draped entrance and also some fabulous custom seating.
French Confection created the oh so stylish Tiffany Box cake.
Check out the cute banana pudding shots that we created and served after the wedding cake for a little snack for guests to enjoy.
Congratulations to the Marables!

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
