First off– the lighting: epic. Nashville Event Lighting did a beautiful job with uplights and a gorgeous gobo, paired with beautiful wicker lanterns overhead.undefinedundefinedundefined

We had a variety of centerpieces: some were taller, structural tree style centerpieces, some vases with medium height centerpieces, some boxes, and some lanterns– the mix gave variation to the space (we also had an upstairs dining/lounge area). Mixing heights and styles will allow for interest and depth in your room.undefinedundefined

The couple chose a caramel apple as the favor (yum!) and we made + addressed the escort card tags attached to each apple. Gold chargers, china, and a purple napkin with copper paper napkin ring completed the placesetting.undefinedundefined

Love the crinkle taffeta linens from Connie Duglin.

The centerpieces all had a base of moss with purple votives embellished with twine and gold wire. undefinedundefined

We festooned with sweetheart table with a low display of flowers + moss undefined

The lantern centerpieces provided a romantic glow undefined

The tree centerpieces soared over 6 ft! Each was embellished with oranges, purples, and greens– with roses, orchids, hydrangea, mums and more.

The medium height centerpieces were embellished with plum wrap on the vase, then topped with hydrangea, tulips, roses, ilex and curly willow.undefined

Another of the box centerpiecesundefinedundefined

I simply adored the beautiful metallic paper napkin rings.

The happy couple :)  undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

The long table setup upstairs provided a chance to show off a variety of the centerpieces. undefinedundefinedundefined

We created a cake stand of glass and flowers for the beautiful cake.

We also created custom table luminaries for the table numbers.
undefinedundefinedundefined All in all– what a beautiful wedding for such a beautiful couple! We were so happy to be a part of Ally + Glaydon’s day, and know these two have a lifetime of happiness ahead of them!

Hello again, friends! Shall we continue with the goodness that is Ally + Glaydon’s perfect day?  Onward…loveliness courtesy of McLellan Style!

The two wed at Baskin Chapel at Brentwood Baptist. This gorgeous chapel is all dark wood and creamy ivory walls. We kept the decor refined in autumn tones: orange pomanders at every other pew, secured with orange ribbon.  Stately and classic candelabra with candles, and a tree-style altar piece. undefined

I love pomanders. True story: these were initially to be carnations, but the carnations came in this AWFUL, SCARY shade of orange. It was like…well, it was unspeakable and gross. And I cried a lot about it. I drove all around town looking for the perfect colored mum to make these pomanders. And thankfully…I found them:undefined

 

Love the floor at Baskin. undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

The altar centerpiece: a manzanita base, with a mossy container. the florals were all in harmony with the shades of the wedding: oranges, soft reds, and ivory undefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

The flower girl tossed petals in orangeundefined

The bride escorted down the aisle by her father (gets me teary every time I see it, with every bride– perfection!)undefined

And off to the reception they go, bubbles abounding! Stay tuned for the reception pics!
