TRADITIONAL CEREMONY & BOLLYWOOD-INSPIRED WEDDING

Megan and Bravein on The Bridge Building's Riverfront
A multi-cultural wedding at The Bridge Building.

Megan and Bravein exchanged rings and combined their cultures with a traditional ceremony and Bollywood-inspired reception at The Bridge Building.

Our medical sweethearts first met as doctors do, at a charity gala. Bravein later proposed during Megan's birthday ski trip to Vail, Colo., at a mountaintop restaurant with snow falling outside. Too dreamy! With Megan hailing from Nashville and Bravein from Sri Lanka by way of Toronto, they settled on marrying right here in Megan's hometown.

"We wanted a unique venue where we could incorporate the Nashville skyline and have both the ceremony and reception in the same location," Megan told us.

Starting with a traditional ceremony in the Cumberland space at The Bridge Building, lush greenery and candlelight set a romantic scene. A floral chandelier draped in greenery with full, white blooms by LMA Designs was suspended in the center of the room for subtle drama. While a wooden geometric arch dripping in Italian Ruscus and Jackson vine framed the altar. With clusters of white hydrangea, peonies, and roses in each corner and candles placed at the base, it was the perfect statement backdrop.

Following, guests made their way upstairs for an unexpected twist on cocktail hour. The couple chose two color palettes for different events throughout the day and we're equally obsessed with both! Classic whites with greenery kept the ceremony and dinner feeling classic and oh-so-romantic, while the Bollywood-inspired rooftop patio was bursting with tradition and color for cocktail hour and dancing.

Vibrant Moroccan rugs led the way with sunset-hued rose petals scattered alongside them. As guests stepped onto the patio, Moroccan brass pendants hung over shimmering lounge tables. Velvet sofas in turquoise and burnt orange added cozy comfort and even more color. Thanks, Spark Vintage!

To keep with the Bollywood theme, guests wore colorful sunglasses and bindis as they danced up a storm on the rooftop. They were also given gold elephant bottle openers in custom boxes to take home!

Full of love and great food, Megan and Bravein then danced to "Without You" by Keith Urban, a song Megan remembered from many years ago. As guests watched on, they indulged in a buttercream cake with vanilla almond, chocolate, and strawberry tiers by Nashville Sweets. One of each, please!

To end the evening, Megan and Bravein danced one last time to "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri, one of Bravein's favorite love songs. Scroll on for more from this traditional ceremony and Bollywood-inspired reception.
