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.

6 Ways Couples Are Breaking Wedding Traditions https://infinityhospitalitygroup.com/breaking-wedding-traditions/ Tue, 13 Jul 2021 02:00:36 +0000 https://infinityhospitalitygroup.com/?p=28903 Couples put their own spin on longstanding traditions from alternative ceremonies to wedding day fashion.

Breaking Wedding Traditions

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

From unique guest books to switching up their first look, we love seeing our couples put their own spin on time-honored traditions. Making your day your way is an essential part of any wedding, so don’t be afraid to add a little or a whole lotta personality.

Scroll on for Pinterest-worthy inspiration on breaking tradition from our real weddings!

1. ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL GUEST BOOKS

Even your guest book can be uniquely you. Choose something that speaks to who you are as a couple, like a globe if you love to travel or a surfboard if you love the ocean.

2. WEDDING FASHION

Never be afraid to express your personal style and wear what makes you feel good on your wedding day!

Statements like dramatic earrings, colorful nails, and fresh floral necklaces are fun ways to show your personality. Not to mention, a white dress isn’t the only thing modern brides are rocking. Some are wearing different colored gowns or ditching them altogether.

And as for your wedding party? The same idea can apply! As long as everyone is sticking to your preferred color palette and fabrics, let your VIPs choose outfits that make them feel at ease — whether it’s a pantsuit, gown, or even something more casual.

3. THE CEREMONY

That’s right — even the ceremony is getting a new look.

NON-TRADITIONAL PROCESSIONAL

Starting with the ceremony entrance, some couples are choosing to walk down the aisle together, with both parents, solo, or with a sibling or two.

PERSONAL VOWS

We love it when couples write their own vows. It makes the ceremony more personal and heartfelt. Not sure what to write? You can start with sharing your promises, memories, and jokes that reflect your relationship.

CUSTOM UNITY CEREMONIES

In addition to writing personal vows or choosing to walk the aisle alone, more couples are having fun with their unity ceremonies by putting their own spin on the tradition — from potting a plant to boxing a special bottle of wine to pouring out unity sand.

FLOWER GIRLS

Don’t get us wrong, we will forever love the traditional flower girl with their ballerina buns and tutu dresses, but flower dudes, dogs, and grandmas are just as cute! Couples are also skipping the tradition all together.

4. A BLENDED WEDDING PARTY

Couples are diversifying their wedding parties by including people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds who are important to them. Just because you’re a bride doesn’t mean your bridal party has to consist of all women or that your maid of honor can’t actually be a man of honor. Embrace your wedding on your own terms and focus on partying with the ones you love.

5. SKIPPING THE FORMALITIES

Skip certain formalities like the garter toss, cake cutting, or even the first dance if they don’t feel right for you.

6. EXTENDED CELEBRATIONS

The celebration doesn’t have to stop when the venue closes, so nix the wedding exit and keep the party going. Whether it’s hitting downtown or heading to an AirBnb, an after party can be a fun way to extend your big day.

Remember that breaking traditions should be done in a way that feels authentic and comfortable for you and your partner. It’s about celebrating your love and creating a wedding that uniquely represents who you are as a couple.

BLOOMING INTO SUMMER

OUR FAVORITE SUMMER WEDDING FLOWERS

As we jump into the new season, we wanted to kick it off with some of our favorite summer wedding flowers!

From bridal bouquets to reception centerpieces, florals are an essential part of any wedding. It is important to pay attention to which flowers are in season and which are not to get the freshest look and, not to mention, the biggest bang for your buck!

Keep scrolling for a round-up of our favorite summer wedding flowers from real weddings.

1. Sunflowers

First and foremost, we have the beloved sunflower at the top of the list!

This bright yellow floral brings light to any arrangement. Take a peak at how Marie and Samantha incorporated this fun pop of color into their wedding day.

2. Sea Holly

More commonly known as blue thistles, sea holly adds a touch of whimsy to any arrangement. With such a unique look, this bloom is a standout addition to any summer or fall wedding.

Forget Me Not Designs helped Kelley + Nate incorporate these eccentric perennials into their vintage-inspired Fourth of July wedding, while Rose Hill Flowers placed them in bouquets for Lauren + Grant's classic summer wedding.

3. Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas effortlessly add dimension and fill any arrangement with an extra soft touch. Whether entwined with greenery or on their own, we love how they bring elegance into any space.

Varying hues of blush and ivory hydrangeas set the scene for Ashley + Justin's ultra-romantic summer wedding at The Bridge Building, while all white arrangements for Amanda + Hunter's chic wedding at The Bell Tower created a classic, timeless atmosphere.

4. Garden Roses

These many-petaled, cupped blooms are larger and lusher than standard roses, making them a good substitute for the out-of-season peony.

Bonus? Roses are said to thrive in hot, humid weather. They open up to the sun and can handle hot temperatures with grace.

Garden roses from LMA Designs added a romantic vibe to Maddie + Johnny's sweet summer wedding at The Bridge Building. They also help add dimension, as seen in Amy's show-stopping bouquet by Haute Flower Boutique for her pup-inspired wedding.

5. Zinnias

Zinnias add a burst of color to any event. Varying in color and size, this floral is extremely versatile and can create stunning looks that stand out from traditional arrangements.

These buds flourish in the summer and are actually one of the easiest flowers to grow if you want to test your green thumb.

Fun fact: The zinnia was the first flower to grow aboard the International Space Station. That's right, zinnias can grow and blossom in microgravity!

FEATURE FRIDAY

FORGET ME NOT DESIGNS

With a keen eye for aesthetic, texture and color, Ashley Walters of Forget Me Not Designs is one of our most beloved vendors.

Originally from Hull, Mass. a small town just south of Boston, Ashley's love of flowers dates back to her childhood and inspired her business.

She moved to Nashville shortly after her college graduation. "After graduating college in Massachusetts I was looking for something new and exciting, I decided to pack up my truck and move to Nashville," Ashley said. 

When we first met Ashley in 2014. She has helped us provide clients with fresh, innovative, and simply stunning arrangements and custom pieces ever since. We caught up with Ashley for our March Feature Friday.

How did you get your start in floristry?

As a young child, I always loved flowers. At the age of 13, I begged my mom to let me go help the local florist who was not too far from our house. She agreed and from then on I worked in many different shops around the Boston area. 

After high school and before college I attended florist school in Boston which confirmed to me that this was what I was going to do for a career. I then went to Endicott College where I received a degree in business. This has all led me to now owning my own wedding and event floristry business!

What's your favorite part about your job?

My favorite part of this job is working with a variety of people. Every bride is different and I get to do different things every day. I truly enjoy being challenged by a bride who thinks outside the box.

What are a few of your favorite events that you've done with us?

Some of my favorite events are the ones that involve the floral ring that hangs from the ceiling. That piece when covered with florals and greenery is so dramatic and different. It adds an elevated element to an already amazing venue.

What was your experience like with working with Infinity?

The people who work at Infinity are awesome! Everyone I have met is so nice and caring. What I love most is their attention to detail. They do everything to make each event special in its own way. When a bride tells me she is getting married at an Infinity venue I am relieved! Their event specialists make my job a lot easier. They are on top of every detail and keep me in the loop with even the smallest of changes. 

Do you have a favorite flower?

My favorite flower has always been a Forget Me Not, which is why I chose it for the name of my business. I just love the blueish purple blooms that look so dainty and fragile.

How would you describe your style?

I wouldn't say I have just one type of style when it comes to floral design. After working in 8 different flower shops, studying styles in floristry school, and being in this industry for over 15 years, I am able to create any style a client throws my way. I am a huge fan of the loose organic floral design style. I just love designs with a mixture of texture and elements.

What is a fun fact about your work that most people might not know?

People are usually surprised when they find out we can build just about anything they are looking for. We create custom arches, crosses, large trees, and other specialty installations for weddings that are custom built by me and my team.
