Mardi Gras Inspiration Meets Nashville Nuptials at the Cannery Ballroom
Friday, June 1, 2012
Catholic weddings always have a soft spot in my heart because that's how I was raised and it meant a lot to me and my family that we also were married in the church. Cathedral of the Incarnation on West End is a venue that doesn't needs little (if at all) to beautify, which meant today's happy couple were able to channel all decor into their fabulous, Mardi Gras themed wedding at the Cannery Ballroom. Planned, designed, and executed by Regalo Design, Michelle and Jake treated themselves and their guests to a fun, vibrantly decorated reception in the spirit of the festival.
Today, Regalo, their planner, shares details of their wedding with us.




Michelle + Jake
Wedding Date ~ October 22nd
Ceremony Venue ~ Cathedral of the Incarnation
Reception Venue ~ The Cannery
Guests ~ 200







Tell us about the couple:
Michelle and Jake were a fun spirited and life of the party types that were excited about the details of the event.
Describe their theme:
Mardi Gras Meets Nashville
Details used to enhance the theme:
Colors: Navy, Purple, Teal and Pink
Décor items: Fabric draping, uplighting, vintage votives and what would a party be without glow stick necklaces?
Flowers: Royal blue roses, purple hydrangea, white dahlias, lavender roses and royal blue delphinium
Describe any highlights/special moments of the wedding day:
Although it’s rare, the best moment of the day was that they saw each other for the first time as she walked down the aisle. They also enjoyed a long trolley ride through the city after their ceremony provided by Music City Transportation and also had karaoke at their reception.
Tell us about the couple’s vision, special requests, unique challenges that you had to work together to overcome:
Create a true party atmosphere where people would forget that they were at a wedding but instead at a fun event. This was created with the light sticks, karaoke and other festivities at the reception. Special requests: Royal blue is not an easy color when it comes to flowers but this bride really wanted them instead of your regular whites and creams. We accomplished this with royal blue roses and delphinium. Unique challenges: There was an extensive time break between the ceremony and reception
