Tala + Vagif’s Classic Neutral Wedding

Tala and Vagif said their “I dos” at the Estate at Cherokee Dock with a stunning outdoor ceremony in the Serenity Gardens followed by a beautiful seated dinner in the Lakeview Event Center. 

These two first met during their college years and eventually fell in love. Vagif proposed at Nashville’s Love Circle, a romantic spot that overlooks the entire city. After surprising Tala with a sweet picnic, she said yes!

When it came to planning their wedding, it was important for the couple that their day flowed flawlessly so their only focus could be on sitting back, relaxing, and taking it all in. Accomplishment achieved, if we say so ourselves! Their day went off without a hitch.

Tala stunned in a sweetheart mermaid gown with draped off-the-shoulder sleeves and embroidered lace details. She accessorized with a jeweled hair piece, dainty tennis necklace, and a waltz length veil. Her bridesmaids donned champagne floor-length gowns in different styles, and all the ladies carried matching long-stem bouquets of classic white florals and greenery. Vagif and his groomsmen looked dapper in classic black tuxedos with coordinating white floral boutonnieres.

Following intimate vows in the Serenity Gardens, guests gathered on 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  ahi tuna in wonton baskets, avocado toast, butternut goat cheese stuffed mushrooms, classic tomato bruschetta, mini beef wellington, and braised short ribs. 

When the reception began, Tala and Vagif were introduced with a special cultural performance by the Al Fursan Dabka and Zaffah Group as guests prepared for a plated dinner service of chicken piccata with grilled asparagus and parmesan risotto and herb salmon with broccolini. 

The space was set with the most beautiful classic design featuring a mix of neutral white and champagne-colored linens, round and rectangle tables, and light wood crossback chairs. The tables were decorated with beautiful floral arrangements full of white blooms and greenery, white taper candles in gold candlesticks, and some elevated flowers to create dimension across the room. String lights were also hung above, cascading to the center of the room to create a warm glow. 

After a sweet first dance to Elvis Presley’s “I Can’t Stop Falling In Love,” Tala and Vagif cut their classic white three-tier cake and opened up the dance floor!
