Here’s a look back at Cori and Tony’s earthy wedding day full of whimsical florals and rust-colored details at the Bridge Building.
Cori and Tony met while working for the same company and quickly knew they had found their person. They tried to keep it a secret so as to not disrupt their work environment, but unbeknownst to them, their connection was obvious and the secret didn’t last long!
While on a trip at a family condo in Gulf Shores, the couple took a sunset walk on the beach. To Cori’s surprise, Tony got down on one knee and popped the question, to which Cori replied “yes” behind tears of excitement.
“Tony always liked the idea of getting married at the Bridge Building, and we only visited three venues when we were searching. We had only lived here for a few years when we got engaged, so we really wanted to give our family and guests the full Nashville experience and just had to find a venue that was downtown. But honestly, the view from the Bridge Building really solidified it for us,” Cori explained.
Since their original wedding date was postponed for over a year due to COVID-19, it was most important to them that they were finally able to acknowledge their elopement and celebrate their love with friends and family.
On their September wedding day, Cori and her bridesmaids wore off-the-shoulder gowns in paired with colorful bouquets in earthy pastel shades of orange, pink, and yellow blooms. While Cori was in traditional white, her bridesmaids wore a rich emerald teal.
The ceremony was held in the main space with wood crossback chairs and whimsical wildflower arrangements lining the aisle. Greenery and pillar candles lined the altar as the pair said their “I dos” while the sunlight beamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Bridge Building.
After the vows, guests mingled for a cocktail hour with Pinot Grigio and candied bacon while Infinity staff flipped the main space. The head table was a dark wood, farmhouse-style table decorated with minimal yet trendy florals in whimsical arrangements and bud vases, satin rust-colored napkins, greenery down the center, and various small candles. The rest of the tables were dressed with white linens and had larger centerpiece arrangements created with matching florals.
Guests found their seats for a plated dinner of maple mustard glazed chicken with sour cream whipped potatoes and brown sugar glazed carrots, bourbon glazed salmon with grilled asparagus and peppercorn melange risotto, herb roasted pork loin with grilled yellow squash and sour cream whipped potatoes, and vegetarian eggplant parmesan.
Cori and Tony later shared their first dance to “Eyes Shut” by Years and Years, who was the first concert they shared together as a couple, making it the perfect choice for their wedding day. The night continued at Barlines, a nearby downtown bar, and rumor has it the fun hasn’t stopped!
