Erin & Doug's December Cordelle I Dos

Erin and Doug planned their wedding from Indianapolis, joining the trend of couples choosing Nashville for a destination wedding. Their love for the city drew them here to say their I Dos.

They had already picked out their venue when we began working together, but it is one of my absolute favorites - The Cordelle in downtown Nashville. We carefully chose all of their other vendors to fit their elegant style and that of the venue, which included an emphasis on natural materials. With a smaller guest list and some older guests, we decided to create comfortable seating areas for both the cocktail hour and reception. The notes of comfort, warm tones, and tasty beverages helped knock some of the chill off the December evening.

Musicians Make Melodies on their Wedding Day at Green Door Gourmet

As you can tell from the photos, Anna and Paul were a delight to work with. They were relaxed and happy throughout the process.

I began working with them a year before their wedding on a consultation basis. Anna was a dream DIY bride! She and Paul listened to my suggestions for quality vendors and chose the areas they wanted to do themselves, such as the flowers. With plenty of time to create, plan and execute their ideas, they were able to make their centerpieces, table numbers, escort cards, gift table, "photo booth," and more. As they are both musicians, they called on friends for the live music at their ceremony and to create a fun dance party during the reception. They incorporated their family as they chose their decor and their mothers worked together to bake the family favorites for the dessert bar. Together, we wrapped up their details and executed a lovely, fun day.
