Last October, Ashley and Kelly said “I do” surrounded by close family and friends during their intimate rustic wedding ceremony and reception at The Bridge Building.
This pair met online and quickly realized they were a perfect match through their shared love of great films, East Nashville, and their pets. After some time together as a couple, Ashley and Kelly went on a long and relaxing beach vacation and got engaged on the shore!
When it came time to start wedding planning, they wanted to stay out of the spotlight and share time with their friends and family, but their easygoing personalities and sweet romance couldn’t help but shine through.
Before both Ashley and Kelly’s moms walked each of them down an aisle, which was lined with blush and ivory rose petals, they spent some time getting ready—their attire was perfectly buttoned-up but down-to-earth—and then exchanged heartfelt letters they wrote each other expressing their forever love.
After a sweet and intimate daytime ceremony where the almost-newlyweds exchanged vows in front of a stunning view of downtown Nashville, our main space was flipped for a reception that featured plenty of string lights, a small dance floor, and a collection of round guest tables adorned with smoke-colored linens and romantic floral arrangements in gold vases. They were made with pink peonies, thistles, blush and ivory roses, lush greenery, and succulents.
Guests then enjoyed a dinner of balsamic grape and apple salad, buttermilk fried chicken, sautéed vegetables, four cheese macaroni, and white cheddar mashed potatoes. Delish!
As the easygoing day of fun, love, and laughter came to a close, Ashley and Kelly opened one of the biggest wedding gifts we’ve ever seen. While 2020 may have been a challenging time to hold a wedding, Ashley and Kelly’s guests made everyone laugh with a giant Uhaul box filled with the pandemic essentials: toilet paper and cleaning products!
