Nicole + Chris’ Whimsical Modern Wedding

Nicole and Chris celebrated their nuptials with a modern wedding at the Bell Tower full of love, whimsy, and gold details. 

This sweet pair met the contemporary way on Bumble! After many weekend trips from Springfield, Mo., to Nicole in Nashville, Chris made the big move to the music city. 

When it came time to pop the question, Chris took Nicole on a tour of the Ryman Auditorium. Much to her surprise, her brother traveled from Charleston to meet them as Chris got down on one knee on the stage!

The couple knew they wanted a wedding in the heart of the bustling city. “The location and the architecture were exactly what we were looking for,” Nicole explained. “I absolutely loved the rafters and high ceilings.” 

When the day arrived, the Bell Tower was dressed in simple greenery and modern candle lighting. Guests grabbed an escort card, which doubled as a concert credential, and found their seats for an intimate ceremony. 

Once vows were said, guests enjoyed passed hors d'oeuvres of bacon-wrapped scallops, maple bacon BLTs, shrimp ceviche, and butternut goat cheese stuffed mushrooms, followed by a perfectly paired plated dinner. The tables were decorated with tall, modern centerpieces full of whimsical white florals.

As a Nashville-loving duo, Nicole and Chris later shared their first dance to a song they heard at the Listening Room, “Mysteries of the World” by Walker McGuire. But only then did the fun really begin!

The newlyweds surprised their guests with a stilt walker and beautiful feathered dancers in honor of Nicole’s hometown. “The looks on their faces when they were surprised is something we will never forget,” the couple shared. And we don’t disagree!

To end the night, guests made their way outside for a traditional send-off as Nicole and Chris shared one final dance.
