Classic wedding goes pretty in pink for these Nashville sweethearts

Pink bridesmaids at church wedding

While newlyweds Ali & Guy always loved the idea of a traditional church wedding, the bride always wanted an all-pink wedding since she was a little girl! The couple found the best of both worlds with a stunning and timeless design, combining classic elements with a blush and ivory palette.

Keep reading to see a gorgeous tented reception, vintage transportation, and more of Ali's keen eye for design. All beautiful photography by Maria Gloer Photography.

A timeless bride & her pastel bridesmaids

While opting for a bridal style that radiates timeless elegance, Ali knew her bridesmaids would be the pop of color she envisioned for her day. The bride found her stunning Allison Webb NYC strapless gown at The Bride Room, while the bridesmaids dresses are by Bella Bridesmaids.

Ali's thoughtful choice of attire for her bridesmaids not only exemplified her impeccable taste but also demonstrated her genuine love and appreciation for her closest friends.

Gold and diamond rings

The bride on her engagement ring:

“My diamond came from my mother. It was the one she wore when my parents were married. Some brides may think it’s odd using a diamond from a marriage that did not work out, but honestly, the marriage gave my parents their greatest gift, my brothers and me. I love that the ring symbolizes the love my family still has for each other.”

To pair with the girls' colorful yet elegant ensemble, Guy wore a 1950's inspired monochrome suit from The Black Tux while groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos.

Grand traditional church ceremony

A classic church ceremony was always in these sweethearts' plans - creating a traditional and grand backdrop for their "I do's". Their nuptials at First Presbyterian Church Nashville were followed by a truly iconic trolley ride to their reception.

"Even though people may see me as outspoken and bold, in many ways, I am a traditionalist. Guy and I both loved the idea of a traditional, church ceremony & what it stands for." - Bride, Ali

Watercolor welcome

The couple had the brilliant idea to incorporate live watercolor painting of their guests' portraits into the celebration. As guests arrived, they were greeted by a talented artist (Candler Reynolds), ready to capture their essence. This interactive and personalized experience not only added an artistic touch to the wedding but also provided a precious keepsake for each guest to cherish.

Bride's dream reception in pink

All of Ali's design dreams came to fruition with her tented pop-up reception at Edwin Warner Park! They chose the hill at the park, not only because it was a blank canvas for their vision but it was also the same place Ali had learned to ride a bike as a child. Featuring shades of ivory, blush, and gold - the sophisticated color palette she chose radiated grace and elegance.

Unique wallpaper wedding bar

The Schumacher wallpaper used for the inlay of their custom bars were a perfect blend of timeless and unique. Even their wedding cake by Dessert Designs by Leland included the pops of pink floral against the traditional style!

Dog-approved decor

The couple's dog was the first guest of honor to test out the dance floor before the swinging tunes of Erik Blue Band and romantic lighting by Nashville Event Lighting transformed the space for the dance party! Her sweet face also adorned the guests' beverage koozies.

Ali's keen eye for detail and artistic flair were evident in every aspect of the decor, from the carefully curated floral arrangements to the personalized touches adorning each table. On the other hand, Guy's laid-back and fun-loving nature infused the celebration with a relaxed and joyful vibe that resonated with everyone present.
