Sarah and Joseph celebrated their nuptials with a dreamy rooftop ceremony and reception full of whimsical florals at The Bridge Building. 

These Nashville natives officially met on the first day of their junior year of high school and, with the help of some mutual friends, they made it official over the holidays a few months later. Their first date was December 2, 2014, and they’ve been together ever since! 

When it came time to pop the question, Joseph had a big surprise planned. During a trip to Maui, Hawaii, to visit Sarah’s family, he set up a “family” photoshoot and got down on one knee on December 21, 2021. To no one’s surprise, Sarah said “yes” and the wedding planning began!

It was important to Sarah and Joseph to have a fun wedding day celebrating with their friends and family. “We fell in love with The Bridge Building as soon as we saw it. It's actually the only venue we toured!” Sarah shared with us. “We are from Nashville and it's where we fell in love, but most of our guests were from out of town, so we knew we wanted our wedding to feel like a big Nashville party!”

When her wedding day arrived, Sarah was dressed in an A-line gown with a deep V neckline and beaded details, classic white heels, and an elegant updo with a jeweled side comb. Her best gals were in silky matching dresses in blush pink and held bright pastel bouquets. 

Leading up to Joseph’s most memorable moment, which was their first kiss as Mr. and Mrs., this pair first locked eyes as Sarah walked down the aisle. They said their vows on the rooftop in a minimalist yet dreamy ceremony with bright pastel floral arrangements and a downtown view. Sarah and Joseph also held a unity ceremony where they boxed a bottle of wine along with letters from their parents and loved ones to be opened on their future anniversaries. 

Afterwards, guests made their way to the riverfront to snack on passed appetizers of bacon wrapped dates, fried mac and cheese, pepper jelly pimento cheese bruschetta, and tequila infused watermelon cubes while Infinity staff finished setting the Cumberland space for the reception. 

The room looked bright and dreamy as it was set with classic white linens, colorful pastel florals hung individually from the industrial beams, and warm Edison bulb lighting. On the tables sat printed custom blue and white dinner menus, homemade lavender shortbread cookies topped with edible flowers, large whimsical centerpieces of roses and wisteria, and interactive table numbers so guests could leave sweet messages for the newlyweds.  

Once guests found their seats, a plated dinner service began followed by a traditional first dance to "Forever Like That" by Ben Rector, toasts from loved ones, and the cutting of the cake. The couple also included an anniversary dance to honor all the married couples in attendance! 

As the night came to an end, guests lined up under the bridge with the University of Alabama shakers in honor of the couple's alma mater while Sarah and Joseph shared a final secret dance on the rooftop.
