I couldn't wait to share the wedding of Sarah and Hunter Page, who were married on March 13th, on the blog because they were such a sweet couple. This was a whirlwind time, of just three months to plan. Sarah and Hunter reside in Cookeville where Hunter co-owns with his father Tasmanian Rain, a bottled water company. They had many guests who were flying thousands of miles from Australia to be a part of this wedding and wanted them to get a true personal experience of what Tennessee, and the south was all about. The Thursday of the wedding, we arranged for a line dance instructor from the Wildhorse Saloon to join the guests at Union Station Hotel for a private group lesson. They had a blast and the "Aussie's" got to have a true Nashville experience. Friday moved into the wedding rehearsal and fun mexican rehearsal dinner with lots of margaritas! Saturday's wedding took place at Scarritt Bennett's Wightman Chapel and 3rd aVenue South. Enjoy the beautiful pictures taken by the wonderfully talented, Cookeville based, Daniel Sutton of Creative Push!
Sarah and Hunter wanted to keep Scarritt simple, with its very understated romance. All florals were created by CarryAnn of Fresh Nashville.
Sarah decided that she did want to be pampered on the day of her wedding, so we contracted Amy Lynn Larwig for her bridal day makeup.
Hunter opted to have his groomsmen wear a traditional morning suit for their early afternoon wedding. This was an entertaining group of Aussie men I must say!
Sarah's gorgeously understated colors were gray and white with accents of pink. The bridesmaids wore a gray cocktail dress, with a pink pashmina to cover their shoulders from the brisk March air. Carry Ann created gorgeous pink bouquet's of hydrangea, ranunculas, and spray roses to perfectly complement the gray.
The girls that Sarah had as her bridesmaids were all adorable! Such a sweet group!
I loved Sarah's cowboy boots! These were brought out in their engagement session too! You can see that here.
The delicious catering was provided by Chef's Market and to the left is a bottle of the drink of the evening "Tasmanian Rain", along with a lot of champagne.
Sarah and Hunter chose 3rd aVenue South, not only for its location for their guests, but also its eclectic look. They choose to have their guests seated at long 8' tables and had their full bridal party seated on the stage. As a favor to each guest, a cowboy hat was at each place setting and those were used later on in the evening when the dancing began. Creatve Push created a guest book out of their engagement pictures, which I always love, for their guests to sign around. It's not only a memory, but a piece of art as well.
The Bake Shoppe created a deliciously tasting wedding cake for Sarah and Hunter to cut into for their guests. I wish I had a picture showing how into the cake cutting Sarah and Hunter got, meaning I had to wipe cake from her eye lashes!
The lighting of Chinese Lanterns, uplighting, and our mongrammed and pattern gobos was provided by the wonderful Nashville Event Lighting.
DJ Robert Luke had the guests dancing all afternoon, and evening, long. This is what the dancefloor looked like all night!
Congratulations Sarah and Hunter! We had a wonderful time working with you two and are so delighted to get to share your beautiful day with our readers! May you have many, many, many years of passionate love and we wish you both the best in life! Cheers!
