CURRENTLY CRUSHING
The ceremony, no matter how short, is the most important part of the day. From floral-filled arches to artfully draped chuppahs, your ceremony backdrop will set the tone for the rest of the day.
So this month, we're crushing hard on custom altars and all the ways our couples have made their ceremony their own. Scroll on for Pinterest-worthy inspiration from our real weddings!
1. Circular
We love a good circular installation. Echoes of Eden Florals took things up a notch for Caitlin + Robinson's wedding at The Bridge Building by adding a floral ring suspended over the altar.

2. Whimsical & Wild
We're all for symmetry, but this whimsical installation from Forget Me Not Designs for Alyssa + Jayson's wedding at The Bell Tower has us seriously reconsidering.

3. Geometric & Modern
Effortlessly cool, geometric shapes have made their way from table decor to front and center modern statement pieces. One of our personal favorites? LMA Designs' "Archie." See how Megan + Bravein and Fallyn + Aaron made this focal piece their own.

4. A Twist on Tradition
A symbol of the home a couple will build together, the chuppah is a perfect opportunity to personalize the altar. This whimsical custom-built chuppah by PS Designs stole the show at Sarah + Daniel's sweet spring wedding at OZ Arts Nashville.

5. Floor to Ceiling
Make a dramatic impact with a backdrop that reaches the ceiling, like Lizzy + Clayton's bright romantic altar at The Bell Tower. J. Kent Freeman Floral Design teamed up with Nashville Lighting & Production to create this delicate focal piece.
