kennedy inspired styled shoot at carnton plantation :: nashville wedding photographer

Last week, I had the pleasure of working once again with my one of my favorite Nashville-based wedding coordinators, Liz from CHIC Weddings and Events, on a Jackie O. inspired stylized wedding shoot I'd been dreaming of for months. MONTHS. It all started when I discovered this little number on Rent the Runway, and I just knew it was meant to be. (By the way, brides, this is a fantastic place to get a cute little rehearsal dinner wardrobe or a short and sassy white party dress for your reception). So when I found out I was going to be travelling back to Nashville for theFix, I called up Liz and she SO got my vision.

Carnton Plantation was so generous to allow us to use their beautiful venue (Leigh is awesome!), and we worked with an absolutely AMAZING team of folks to bring the shoot to life. So without further ado, I present to you what may very well be my #1 most favorite styled shoot to date...

Riverwood Mansion Styled Wedding Shoot :: Nashville Wedding Photographer

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of coordinating a styled wedding shoot in Nashville with Liz from CHIC Nashville Weddings and Events. You see, I had this idea for a styled shoot in my head for several months... it involved lots of blue and white stripes, a dash of coral, 1920's and 30's inspired vintage accents, and a bottle of IZZE Sparkling Grapefruit... and Liz really helped me bring it all together.

I was so honored to have the cooperation of so many AMAZING vendors on this shoot. For any of you Nashville peeps getting married, these are definitely the ones to check out:

Event Design: CHIC Nashville Weddings and Events
Venue: Riverwood Mansion
Wardrobe: Olia Zavozina Bridal and Menswear Boutique
Stationer: {anna.michelle Cards}
Cake: Sweetface Cakes
Florist: Zia Art, Antiques, and Flowers
Hair and Makeup: Ashley Rose Love
Jewelry: Brentwood Jewelry
Models: Cody Kern and Amber Lee
Photography: Glessner Photography 

DIY Coral Chargers - $1.99 each for gold chargers + coral spray paint at Hobby Lobby

This was definitely just as good as it looked... I'm loving the non-frosted shortcakes right now!

   

The ring was actually the model's real engagement ring, a family heirloom from her fiance, and it matched our color scheme perfectly with it's sapphire accents.

Blackberry and grapefruit IZZE drinks and a homemade blueberry lemonade sangria adorned the drink table.

   

Another DIY project: a spraypainted corkboard with cutout numbers serves as the seating chart. The nametags double as handy drink tags to keep up with your beverage.

Amber - you are just simply stunning. For real. You rocked this vintage look and that coral lipstick.
