The Parthenon

Yes, you read that right, the Parthenon! No, not in Greece, but rather the exact replica in Centennial Park.

Kristen + Guido’s Romantic Flower-Filled Wedding

delicate gold details, lush floral arrangements in hues of white and pink with verdant greenery, the soft glow of candles, and white draping from the beams

The Bell Tower provided the perfect setting for Kristen and Guido’s romantic, flower-filled wedding reception. Decorated with delicate gold details, lush floral arrangements in hues of white and pink with verdant greenery, the soft glow of candles, and white draping from the beams, their celebration exuded elegance.

But before we dive into the splendor of their reception, let’s rewind to where it all began – the love story of Kristen and Guido. Childhood sweethearts, their bond stood the test of time and distance, only to be rekindled later in life.

Guido whisked Kristen away to his native country, Italy, where amid the breathtaking beauty of Lake Como, he asked her to be his forever with the help of his parents.

Fast forward to their wedding day, where the Bell Tower served as a symbol of their enduring love and the beginning of their new chapter together.

As guests entered the main space, they were greeted by cascading white drapery with a grand chandelier at the center, and rose-filled floral arrangements with the delicate scent of pink and white blooms mingling with the warm glow of candles.

During cocktail hour, guests sipped on signature cocktails— an Oaxaca Old Fashioned and Raspberry Moscow Mules —while eating an array of hors d’oeuvres made by the in-house culinary team. Selections included candied bacon, Key West crab cakes, and classic tomato bruschetta.

They then found their seats at tables set with elegant gold accents and a mix of smaller floral arrangements in bud vases, with textured pink napkins and custom menu cards at each place setting. They dined on a balsamic caprese salad and their choice of filet mignon, rigatoni primavera, or pan seared dayboat fish.

Amid laughter and heartfelt toasts, Kristen and Guido danced the night away, their love shining brighter than ever. Surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated not only their union but also the journey that brought them to this moment of joy and happiness.

As the evening drew to a close, the newlyweds left the Bell Tower hand in hand, ready to embark on the adventure of marriage together.

May Kristen and Guido’s love continue to bloom and flourish and their journey together be filled with countless moments of joy, laughter, and unwavering love!

Megan + Jorge’s Modern Mexican-American Wedding

Megan and Jorge's Modern Mexican Infused Wedding Day in Nashville

The Estate at Cherokee Dock was the perfect spot for a beautiful union of love and cultural fusion for Megan and Jorge last September for their modern Mexican wedding.

Megan and Jorge went to the same high school together but didn’t know each other until a few mutual friends introduced them years later. Little did they know that six years and one romantic lodge proposal later, they would walk this aisle together as husband and wife! 

They exchanged vows in front of the Estate with the serene lakeside views in the background and the willow oak canopy to their side. Wood crossback chairs sat in the lawn alongside the main drive making the perfect runway to the altar for Megan, escorted by her mom. 

Following the ceremony, Jorge’s cultural heritage was intricately woven in with mariachi melodies leading guests to a cocktail hour on the Lakeview Event Center patio, which was dressed with fairy lights. Here, modern flair met traditional Mexican charm as fun velvet lounge seating arrangements invited guests to relax and mingle with a glass of their signature passion fruit margarita. Vibrant colors of pink, orange, and more were incorporated into the decor, adding pops of color against the elegant backdrop of the estate. 

Megan and Jorge also set up an area for photos with a pink velvet couch underneath a wooden arch adorned with vibrant floral arrangements by LMA Designs. It was finished with a chili pepper garland and custom neon sign that said, “Te amo.”  

As the sun began to set, guests transitioned into the event center for the reception. The ambiance was one of refined elegance. Champagne-colored satin linens adorned the tables, creating a luxurious setting, and white floral centerpieces exuded sophistication while paying homage to Megan’s classic taste. Each table was set with a papel picado-inspired table number and custom white maracas for every guest.

During the reception, guests savored a plated dinner experience that combined gourmet delights of smoked brisket with grilled corn and a black eye pea salad, maple mustard glazed chicken with brown sugar carrots and roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a rigatoni primavera. 

As the night came to a close, Megan and Jorge danced to “Ride With Me,” by Cody Johnson under the shimmering installation of disco balls and chandeliers for the first time as newlyweds.  

Their wedding at Cherokee Dock was not only a testament to their love but also a beautiful blend of cultures, creating memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Modern Wedding at The Bell Tower

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!
