I couldn’t wait to receive these photos from the amazing Chuck Arlund of Arlund Imagery! This was one of our recent weddings during Labor Day weekend, held at the oh so southern Belle Meade Plantation. The above photo is a shot of the bride, Meagan Rutherford and her cute bridesmaids. Love not only the style of their dresses, but the color as well. We chose hot lime green as the accent color, using petite green hydrangea, green Fuji mums and green button mums. Meagan chose white spider mums as well as hydrangea and roses for her bouquet.
The above photo is a shot of our antique baby carriage, which has been used by many of our brides when a very small child is included in the wedding party. You can see the precious one in the background!We were fortunate to work with the amazing Karen Kaforey of Signature Events, who planned and executed the evening to perfection. It is amazing how smoothly your wedding will go when you choose a professional wedding planner…and it will lower your stress level as well!
Meagan chose all whites, creams and lime green for her colors in floral decor…..which given the fact it was SO hot that day…the white was a cooling effect…and it is THE color for 2011. The above photo is the buffet centerpiece, just waiting for the caterers.
The floral designs did not call for table number cards..but to the delight of the guests…it became breezy…and rather than the cards falling over into the votive candles and causing a disaster, we placed them in the floralarrangements…sometimes you just have to improvise.
Can you tell that Meagan really wanted green apples in the designs? Well, we like them too!
The photo below is NOT from Arlund Imagery….but rather our own. I wanted to include it to show our southern ivory lanterns…(right now we have 21 in inventory, but more to come). I also wanted to show what a great way that Meagan and her planner Karen Kaforey displayed the seating chart. Each table listing was pinned to the burlap board using vintage jewelry pins…we used burlap as accents on that table as well as the bar area..just to give it a shabby chic effect. Tea lights were hung in the magnolia tree…the bride making those herself of petite mason jars!
The last parting shot is of the covered areas at the carriage house at Belle Meade Plantation..many brides, as did Meagan for her wedding, reproduce photos of the bride and groom and hang them for guests to enjoy. We certainly enjoyed working with Meagan, who is now Mrs. Clark, and wish she a her new hubby Jordan the best!
Thank you again, Chuck Arlund for your talent (he is a true artist), and for sharing with us!
The escort card table was fully loaded with fresh lemons and limes…each guest took their cards with them to their assigned tables..which added more color to the guest tables.
Chic rustique! What a fabulous farm for a wedding reception! I know the guests also enjoyed the food from 
Thanks so much to the wonderful photos from 
This shot is from one of our recent brides, Sloan Gentry…another wedding where the bridesmaids wear cowboy boots…after all, this IS Nashville. Thanks to Shaun Larson, a fantastic photojournalists here in town, who happened to be a personal friend of the bride’s family. The cowboy boots fit perfectly with the reception, which was held at Puckett’s Grocery in downtown Franklin, TN. Enjoy!
