Nashville Wedding Planner | A Delightful Day Event Planning Blog

inspiration: simplicity

I've found that the majority of wedding coverage one can find online tends to fit a certain mold (of propagating this, I'm guilty as well).  Everything tends to be floral-centric, vintage-y... things that are overtly "pretty" and "delicate" and "lovely" and feminine. With this week's board, I wanted to evoke something a little different, a little simpler and more relaxed. Still chic, but subdued. Let me know your thoughts!

from top left, clockwise:  t-shirt dress, locket, pockets, chemise, band, invitation, centerpiece, drop earrings, mint band, sandals, coconut cake, one-shouldered, wedgwood, green tie, jelly jar.

Happy Planning!

inspiration: zoo

Inspiration for this week's board stems from the event that all my thoughts and actions have revolved around lately: this Saturday I'm hosting my sorority's annual formal at the Nashville Zoo.  As A Delightful Day's intern, the experience I've gained helping plan and working weddings has made the entire process SO much easier for me. It's exciting to finally see my efforts get realized after all this time!! The space we're using is the Jungle Terrace Pavilion, which is brand-new (just opened last June!) and gorgeous:  tented, surrounded by wildflowers.  It's an excellent place to host a wedding ceremony and/or reception, and working with Amanda Kerr (the on-site coordinator) has been a wonderful experience. (Not to mention, utilizing a wildlife preservation site helps support a non-profit organization!) So if you're looking for a more unusual, beautiful outdoor space, check out the zoo!

 

From top left, clockwise:  tree trunk, lantern-lit reception, mesquito net cake buffet, peacock slippers, beaver ring, couple dancing, leopard dress, flamingos, seahorse place card, sea ribbons necklace, squirrel knuckle ring, zebra cookie, outdoors, zebra plate, zebra cake, chandelier, duck, giraffe feeding.

inspiration - gunpowder

I read a lot that grey can't or shouldn't be used alone in wedding color schemes, but I have to beg to differ. There are so many shades, from pewter to dove to charcoal to silver, that can be layered with whites and creams to make a wedding so very pretty.

From top left, clockwise:  anthro dress, swags, hairpin, chandelier, happy couple, vera wang, invitation, cake, necklace, me&you sign, boutonniere, vera gown, fascinator, umbrella, lingerie, sequin dress, chandelier, gray frock.

Happy Planning!
