New Nashville Wedding and Event Venue - S.P.A.C.E.S
Friday, April 23, 2010
What was once a shopping center in the heart of Belle Meade has now become a fantastic event space. The retail shops that used to inhabit S.P.A.C.E.S. seemed to have set the perfect area for a modern, almost industrial venue, bringing an "L.A. chic" option to the Nashville wedding scene.
They recently had an open house which Jennifer Neal Edwards of Reveal Event Style invited us to as her plus one. We were attending a wonderful tasting at Chef's Market that night and couldnt attend. But Jen did! And, she shared the following recap and pictures to share with you!
"Dutifully named "SPACES", it is an architectural, artful treat that boasts modern art forms - very metropolitan and edgy. The venue has a natural flow mingled with floating art crafted walls creating an exciting anticipation of what is around the corner! The organizers created a warm, welcoming environment infused with lighting provided by Colin (Tech Works Sound & Lighting). The textured linens (provided by Connie Duglin) were made of wonderful, crinkle taffeta in a color and texture reminiscent of rushing water. These flanked the feature art installation, a modern interpretation of a riverbed mirage.
I can just see an intimate wedding ceremony in the round! Ilex provided a lovely floating orchid candlescape. The table top florals were Asian inspired bamboo sculptures juxtaposed with tropical blooms and foliage. Each space within SPACES was dictated by lighting in hot colors including turquoise, hot pink and orange.
A floor inset of river stones with sleek silver orbs and iron tree silhouettes hosting a melange of earth tone glass and candle glow provided by the ever fabulous FABU (fabu.com). Absolutely stunning!
The culinary offerings at the grand opening were indicative of the atmosphere and what you can expect when you celebrate your special occasion at SPACES. The presentation was brilliant thanks to Kristen Winston Catering (kristenwinstoncatering.com). One eye-catching detail was the rockerfeller oysters on a half shell served on "shards" of plexiglass mimicking a bed of ice! Dessert Designs (dessertdesignsbyleland.com) provided pastry art cupcakes topped with pearlized sugar flowers. Glasses of wine and champagne clinked about as big band sounds filled the venue and enveloped the guest as they enjoyed every aspect and detail of this most wonderful new venue!" -- Jennifer
From the sounds of things, S.P.A.C.E.S. is going to be a wonderful venue that can suit all sorts of wedding styles from the simple, zen-inspired styles to over-the-top, spectactular tablescapes and decor.
I love the taller chiavari chairs - certainly beats standing all night!
It's all in the details - The simplicity of the bamboo and orchids don't take attention away from the food. Those pillows on the banquette are nicely complemented by the neon lights.
So pretty how the candlelight bounces off the orbs. Really gives it a magical feel without trying too hard.
Thanks again to Jennifer for a great recap of the evening. Hopefully we get to attend an event there soon. Until then, I'm really looking forward to seeing more pictures of events at S.P.A.C.E.S.

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.
