Emmy + Mike’s Eclectic Festival-inspired Wedding

Emmy and Mike celebrated their marriage with a colorful, festival-inspired wedding at The Bridge Building full of eclectic retro details, touches of gold, and a sunset ambiance. 

The pair met at Vanderbilt University on the Crew Team and, after graduation, dated long distance while Mike attended med school in his home state of Florida and Emmy went to grad school for law and psychology in Nebraska. Power couple, if we do say so ourselves!

After 7 years of dating and lots of FaceTime calls, Emmy decided it was time to pop the question one July afternoon over another virtual date. 

The soon-to-be newlyweds began their fall wedding day getting ready in the lounge areas of the Bridge Building before their outdoor ceremony on the riverfront patio. Emmy was dressed in a beaded dress with a high ponytail, and a bouquet of bright florals consisting of pink, purple, orange, and more. 

Inspired by Emmy's love of music festivals, their Jewish ceremony was set facing the pedestrian bridge with oriental rugs and bohemian gold lanterns lining the aisle, and a simple copper chuppah with asymmetrical floral arrangements of orange and pink blooms at the altar. String lights hung above with colorful fringe tassels and the sun began to set over the Nashville skyline. 

Once the newlyweds said “I do,” guests enjoyed a crisp glass of wine, live music, and boho lounge seating areas before heading into the Cumberland space for a colorful reception. 

For the reception, the tables were set with blue, ivory, and dusty rose linens, gold vases, disco ball installs, and colorful taper candles inside hurricane vases, along with bright floral arrangements featuring shades of orange and pink and lots of greenery.

Guests enjoyed a stationed dinner of classic BYO sliders, Mexican street corn, a selection of salads, and a TN food truck with late night bites including gourmet french fries and a trio of quesadillas. 

Emmy and Mike shared a sweet first dance after cutting one of their three delicious and uniquely decorated cakes before everyone made their way to the rooftop and celebrated the night away!
