Autumn delights are approaching in the wedding and event world! September through November is now one of the most popular times to be married in Nashville. Being married under a Southern Sky in September is spectacular, if I do say so myself. (My anniversary is September 9th) Yes, I do blog mostly about the wedding world I live with in and love it but I also want to share some of the most amazing events I have had the privilege of being a part of. One of those events is perfect to share with you this time of year. It brings the warmth and elegance of the fall to a whole new level. No pumpkin patches here!





Sandy's father was a lapidaries (someone who studies rocks) and Village of Flowers incorporated pebbles into the table top arrangements along with white roses which Sandy's father also tended. Orchids and jewels topped off beautiful copper cased arrangements. White is a beautiful pop of color against the warm tones.
The show stopper was a 16x16 chandelier that I had designed and asked my friend to help create. Ellen Summers is a wonderful artist and prop designer. She helped me cut down the branches from a trimmed tree at a Brentwood residence and then take 3 truck loads back to her studio! They were then painted and I purchased 500 crystals that we hung by hand to create an organic chandelier that played beautifully against the lights in the tent. Nashville Event Lighting helped me create a warm glow of sunset by a triple layer gel. The branches of the chandelier were hung one by one as to create the perfect form.
