Previews of all the Loveliness follow below:
Personal Flowers:
From left to right: the bride carried a full bouquet of white & green, with white dahlia, cymbidium orchids, jade roses & calla lilies; groomsmen bore mango callas accented with lily grass loops & a bright red dahlia bloom, bridesmaids carried bouquets of lime green hydrangea paired with mango callas, cherry brandy roses, jade roses, and dahlia, groom had white calla lilies and a green button mum.
Chatting with Kristin I said that I thought headdresses–er, crowns– would be the perfect fit for her absolutely darling flower girls:
Green ivy was paired with red & orange spray roses, button mums, and vivid green hypericum
Flower girl basket & ringbearer pillows:
Local moss was picked two days before the wedding and then embellished the flower girl baskets (also accented with flowers and ribbon) and the ring bearer pillow (embellished with ribbon, button mums, and mokara orchids).
The reception was held at the stunning Country Music Hall of Fame. I love the high ceilings, impressive high windows, and opportunities for great lighting. A long view of the room:
Kristin had three different types of centerpieces. For drama, we had these magnificent trees that sat utop tabletops covered with moss & fresh flowers. The trees had curly willow, hydrangea, spider mums, roses, mokara & James Storeii orchids Arachnis orchids:
You can see the awesome lit monogram on the wall by Nashville Event Lighting– too cool!
The other centerpieces were either a cluster of cylinder vases filled with colored water atop moss, or medium height centerpieces of hydrangea, dahlia, roses, and orchids, and the cocktail tables were shorter cylinders with colored water atop moss:
All in all, a breathtakingly beautiful wedding. Thanks to the McLellans for sharing images, and if you’d like to see more, be sure to check out this amazing teaser video by the oh-so-wonderful 2Duce2 totally amazing videographers & so great to work with!
