Showing Off Tennessee

We wanted our wedding to represent southern hospitality and the venue to showcase the natural beauty that we’ve come to love about Tennessee. The style of our wedding was to use a blend of indoor and open-air settings in order to make an impression on guests, most of whom were seeing the area for the first time.

Fresh Cuisine Inspired Decor

From Cedarwood Weddings:Inspired by al fresco design and dinners in the farms of Province, Ashley and Justin wanted non-traditional centerpieces using garden produce and flowers. Our design team used herbs, fruits and vegetables in culinary pieces like cutting boards to style tables. The bride had menus printed on paper bags, and loaves of fresh baked breads added style to the tables.

Indoor, Outdoor Wedding

The indoor ceremony was designed as an extension of the outdoor beauty. Our team used green garlands and candlelight to create a magical "indoor forest." Custom banners, a fantastic “naked” cake, acoustic guitar guest book and a “bury the bourbon” ceremony with the wedding party are a few more trend-setting elements of Ashley and Justin’s October wedding.
