Real Nashville Weddings

Weddings By Reese Presents a Real Nashville Wedding

Monday, January 28, 2008

I was so excited after yesterday's bridal break that I couldnt sleep last night.  I ended up watching the "I Love New York Reunion" show that I TIVOed weeks ago and some documentary until like 6am.

So, I asked Corrine of Weddings with Reese to share a wedding I liked of hers.  As you can see, the wedding features pics by Mel of McLellan who everyone knows I love (as does Jessica - an ABG bride to be who blogged about McLellan last week.)  Plus, the unique wedding colors are so refreshing.

BTW - I have watched this video SO much that I woke up singing the song from the video and wondered how I even know the song.  Just realized today where I first heard the song.

Hope you enjoy this beautiful wedding as much as I have.  Kudos to the Brianne and Dan (couple), Weddings with Reese (their Nashville wedding planner) and the wonderful vendors who made it happen.

First of all, I cannot even start this blog without saying a huge THANK YOU to McLellan Studio of Franklin. They are certainly at the top of my list for photographers, and you can see why by viewing the slide show above. Some of the pictures were not done justice by this slide show, so I will sporadically post other pictures throughout this post.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Brianne and Dan were married this past September at the Carnton Plantation in Franklin. The venue is amazing. There is not enough to be said about the old Southern charm that is apparent in every aspect of the property. Although I did manage to scare a few of the catering staff with stories of the ghosts that are said to roam the property, everyone managed to get through the night without seeing any of them! Suzette with Constant Cravings put on an amazing spread for the reception of good traditional Southern food. A 3 piece string quartet played before and during the ceremony and then Four on the Floor kept everyone rocking into the night at the reception; the dance floor was always full! The kids (young and old alike) had a great time with the fully stocked candy bar. Brianne's biggest desire was to have a colorful wedding, and I think we pulled that off without a doubt. Gobo lights on the ceiling set the mood, and colorful candle holders and bridesmaids attire tied it all together. One of the cutest things was that the bridesmaids all wore red shoes, and the bride wore blue! There is a great shot of that in the slide show above. The cake was beyond amazing and also included all of the colors that were featured throughout the night. This wedding was one to remember for sure! The families were amazing, and the bride and groom were so much in love.

Aloha Nashville brides!

Still in Hawaii enjoying 80 degree weather and yummy frozen drinks. While away, I asked some Nashville wedding pros to keep you inspired and informed. (Am I giving away my job?:)

Today's guest blogger: Whitney Carlson of Dove Photography Service offered: Nashville wedding photography Focus: a real Nashville wedding

Here's the 60 second scoop:

Amber and Brandon were married at Two River's Mansion here in Nashville, and it is such a beautiful place! I loved all the textures throughout the old Mansion, and the wallpaper was so much fun to photograph.

What really made Amber's wedding special was all of the detail that she put into it. Amber is super creative and designed everything from her invitations to her programs. She has a company called Sweet Life Designs where she does everything from wedding invitations to place cards. Amber's flower's were beautiful shades of pink and red that were put together by Fresh by Carry Ann. Mary Alice Sublett was the coordinator for Amber's wedding, and she did a spectacular job. I was excited and not surprised at all to hear that Amber is now working with Mary Alice's company, A Delightful Day. If there is one thing that I regret my own wedding is not having a coordinator- so if you are on a limb about whether or not to hire one, I HIGHLY recommend it. Here is a little collage I put together of all her details.

 

And now for the rest of the day! Here are a few of everyone getting ready... The pink shoes... Amber's flower's were beautiful, and were made by Fresh by Carry Ann The beautiful inside of Two Rivers I love this sweet image of Amber and Brandon after they saw each other for the first time. The bridal party The guy's Playboy Bunny socks... Amber just before the ceremony (isn't the wall paper awesome!) The Ceremony! And the night ended with a fabulous party... -Whitney Thanks Whitney!!! Love the pics, especially the pink shoes. Looks like Amber and Brandon hired some awesome Nashville wedding vendors. I love Mary Alice's work. Looks like I need to reach out to Amber to see more of her work. She certainly has great taste.To contact Whitney Carlson, call 615-945-3147, email [email protected], visit www.doveweddingphotography.blogspot.com
