Sarah + Richard’s Black and White Wedding

Sarah and Richard celebrated their love with us at the Estate at Cherokee Dock with trendy personalized details and a timeless black and white wedding design. 

These Tennessee natives first met over nine years ago in Cool Springs at a local bar. They’ve been nearly inseparable ever since! And when the time came, Richard planned a surprise engagement during a photoshoot with their sweet pup. 

While planning their wedding, it was important for the couple that their day was a fun party for all, full of stylish decor, lots of florals, and a must-have “wow moment!” Accomplishment achieved, if we say so ourselves! Their day was one for the books.

Sarah stunned in a flowy ball gown with off-the-shoulder exaggerated sleeves and held a bouquet of all white florals including orchids, roses, and more. Her best gals stood by her side in mix-and-match black bridesmaids dresses with single-flower bouquets featuring the same flowers in Sarah’s. As for Richard and his groomsmen, they looked dapper in classic black tuxedos. 

Following intimate vows on the Lakeside Lawn with all-white floral arrangements, guests gathered around the pool and the patio of the Lakeview Event Center for a cocktail hour featuring an array of hors d’oeuvres prepared by the in-house chefs. Dishes included candied bacon, bacon wrapped scallops, hot chicken biscuits, Italian meatballs, and braised short rib.

The reception in the Lakeview Event Center was set with ivory satin linens, taper candles and white floral centerpieces, a classic black and white checkered dance floor, a hanging disco ball installation, and printouts of Sarah and Richard’s lovable pup. 

For their “wow moment,” Sarah and Richard shared a first dance as cold sparks lit up the room! And as the celebration began, Sarah changed into a cocktail version of her gown for the reception and paired it with sparkling silver sneakers and bedazzled cat eye sunglasses, bringing all the fun!.

The newlyweds ended the night with a private last dance to take in the moment. Keep scrolling to see all of the classic black and white wedding details!
