Ali + Tyler’s Moody Eclectic Wedding

Ali and Tyler celebrated their love with a moody eclectic wedding ceremony and reception full of purple lighting, dark romantic florals, sparkling disco balls, and so much style at The Bell Tower.

These two met through friends 7 years ago, but at the time, they were seeing other people. They got together when both of those relationships ended, and the rest is history!

When it came to planning the big day, Ali and Tyler said it was most important to celebrate their relationship and love while bringing their many out-of-town friend groups together for the first time. Thanks to The Bell Tower’s central location in Downtown Nashville, they were able to do just that.

On the big day, Ali wore a stunning sleek V neck gown with off-the-shoulder sheer sleeves and chartreuse velvet platform heels. Ali also chose to honor her maternal grandmother's wedding dress by transforming it into a charming two-piece ensemble, preserving the sentimental value while embracing a refreshed look for the reception.  Tyler wore a custom ivory wedding outfit featuring a black lapel jacket and stylish tulle skirt overlay with silver boots. Their fun mismatched wedding party brought all the velvet details and jewel tones!

The ceremony set in the main space was ultra moody with purple uplighting and chic black velvet drapery between The Bell Tower’s grand windows. At the end of the aisle, a copper ceremony arch with a boho arrangement full of pampas grass made the perfect statement, complemented by acrylic altar stands holding each of their muted moody bouquets. To top it all off, a stunning disco ball installation hanging above and decorated with fresh greenery, sparkled across the room.

After they said their “I dos,” Ali and Tyler held their cocktail hour on the patio. Guests munched on an array of hors d’oeuvres, including fried mac and cheese, mini beef Wellington, and Thai shrimp tostadas while Infinity staff flipped the main space for the reception.

The tables were decorated with black linens, hunter green napkins, dark romantic floral arrangements, modern black acrylic signage, and hand-painted anthuriums in disco ball bud vases. For dinner, Ali and Tyler’s friends and family were greeted with a pre-set classic wedge salad and served their choice of rigatoni primavera with a tomato and pesto cream sauce, smoked brisket with grilled corn and black eyed pea salad, or maple mustard glazed chicken with brown sugar glazed carrots and snap peas with garlic mashed potatoes.

As dinner continued and guests looked on, the newlyweds shared their first dance to “Hearts Don’t Break Around Here” by Ed Sheeran before Ali shared a dance with her father to “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle. So sweet!

The floor was then opened to everyone for a night of dancing and celebration under the disco balls.
