Christa and Brandt came to me wanting help to plan a relaxed, summer wedding at Rippavilla Plantation in Spring Hill, TN. They were such a fun, easy going couple that I knew their wedding was going to be memorable.

We added string lights under the trees to create a lovely dinner outside for guests.

Look at all that cake! The naked, berry shortcake was a huge hit with the guests.

This lovely all-inclusive wedding was held at an estate an hour south of Nashville. The bride was inspired by a steel blue color swatch for the color palette. The celebration was a destination wedding with guests from Nashville and around the country gathering in Lewisburg, TN.

When a rainstorm cancelled the outdoor ceremony, we moved everything to the foyer. The bridal party walked down the grand staircase to the wedding ceremony.

Guests moved outside to the tent and covered patio by the pool. After charcuterie for cocktail hour, food stations offered numerous food options.

When I met Whitney, I knew her wedding was going to be wonderful. She was the sweetest bride with a laid-back approach to planning. Together we brought her simply stunning concept to life. From greenery on the tables to rectangular plates with slate blue napkins, everything was clean and minimal, yet romantic. Did you see that amazing greenery wall? Working with the bride and her mom was truly a joy!

(Be prepared for photo overload. I couldn’t choose which ones I liked most and there were so many beautiful ones..)

The bride was breathtaking in her lace dress and with her wild, lush bouquet.

We added draping to part of the Cordelle to create an intimate feeling space for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, guests relaxed on the porch while we setup a beautiful reception with long wooden farm tables. Every guest had their name and a note at their place setting.

In addition to cake, there were cookies, brownies, and other desserts.

The bride’s mom made homemade jam as favors for the guests.

Brittany and Chris were one of the sweetest couples I had the pleasure of working with.  Their wedding was filled with southern, rustic charm and a fantastic celebration.   

Every couple should have a bridal party as carefree and happy.  Everyone was so excited to celebrate with these two. 

Guests were treated to a wonderful dessert display filled with an assortment of cake, cookies, brownies and candy.  Love is sweet.
