Carley + Turner’s Modern Yet Timeless Wedding

The Bell Tower became the enchanting backdrop for Carley and Turner’s September wedding day. Combining timeless elegance with a few modern trends, their wedding was a stunning blend of bold and bright florals and classic black-and-white decor. 

The couple told us they “immediately fell in love with The Bell Tower when we first visited the venue. It was exactly what we had imagined and we loved that it can accommodate a large group while still feeling very intimate.”

These Nashville natives have known each other since they were kids. Carley and Turner started dating their sophomore year at the University of Tennessee where they continued to run in the same circles. Turner proposed at the Richland Country Club, where they later ended up having their rehearsal dinner! 

Carley and Turner's vision for their wedding decor was a seamless fusion of classic and contemporary elements. The venue was adorned with striking black and white decor, creating a sophisticated and timeless ambiance. The florals added a burst of vibrant colors to the scene. Bold bouquets of roses, peonies, and dahlias in shades of red, pink, and orange brought warmth and energy to the venue.

Carley stunned in a strapless gown from Adorn Nashville with trendy full sleeve lace gloves, while her best gals dressed to impress in mismatched black bridesmaid dresses. Turner looked classically dapper in a black tuxedo from Street Tuxedo Nashville with groomsmen to match.

The couple exchanged vows before a beautifully adorned floral installation, soft white draping, and classic crystal chandeliers hanging above. 

After saying their “I dos,” Carley said one her favorite moments of the day was walking down the mezzanine staircase into their reception as a newly-married couple. Black and white linens adorned each table, providing a chic and sophisticated backdrop for the vibrant floral centerpieces. The dance floor was alive with energy as friends and family joined the newlyweds in celebrating their love. Good food, music, and being with all those they love was the focal point of importance to this couple when it came to planning their day— and we have to say they achieved just that!

As the couple danced the night away, surrounded by the love and joy of their closest friends and family, it was clear that their wedding day was not just an event but a beautiful beginning to a lifetime of happiness together!
