This week, I'd like to highlight some great resources for creating a lavish Nashville wedding. If you're looking to wed like a celeb, this week is for you! Yes, we're in an economic crunch but there are many brides who have saved for this day and are not accepting anything less than their perfect wedding day.
If you are a bride who lives well and plans to wed well - you're going to enjoy this week! Or, if you are a bride on a moderate budget or even a bargain budget but are looking to splurge in a few areas - hopefully you'll find some great wedding goodies this week too.
Disclaimer - a great wedding planner, photographer, cake artist or other wedding vendor can help you create the wedding of your dreams no matter your budget - but many of the resources I will share this week have significant experience, packages, ideas just for opulent weddings.
Meet Signature Events, Inc.
Today I am pleased to introduce our newest advertiser Signature Events, Inc.!
As our newest site sponsor, Signature Events, is generously including a rehearsal dinner planning package ($1,000+ value) exclusively to brides who follow Ashley's Bride Guide and who book Signature Events for their wedding planning package by the end of December. This will afford you a full service wedding planner for two of your most important bridal events. This is a very rare opportunity to not stress at all during your wedding planning, not to mention a great value.
About Signature Events
Karen Kaforey, owner of Signature Events, has overseen weddings that would make the inner-princess in us all just swoon.
Signature Events, Inc, has planned weddings in here in Nashville, TN and Seattle, WA and, in the case of a retired Pittsburgh Steeler Jerome Bettis, an amazing wedding in Jamaica. The pictures below are from the InStyle Weddings article which you can read here.

Karen helps her brides bring to life the wedding they imagine. From Union Station Hotel to Cheekwood to the Hermitage Hotel, Signature Events, Inc. has left its impression at some of the most elegant venues in Nashville. A fun fact I learned from speaking to Karen is that people spend an average of 200 hours planning their wedding. Wouldn't it be great if you had someone to save you that time and stress? That is why companies like Signature Events, Inc. exist. No bride wants to go through all that planning just to barely enjoy her own wedding, and a good, solid planner is a worthwhile investment. Karen's good, sage advice to the bride-to-be is to "make smart decisions and try not to over-think everything...really enjoy the process."
See what else she has to say.

Signature Events officially started in 2000 but I began planning weddings when I was in college in Boston and continued when I moved to New York City after graduation. When I moved to Nashville I began doing doing this as a full time career.
