Anna & Kyle: A Soft Blue Cheekwood Wedding

Anna and Kyle celebrated their marriage with a magical Southern wedding decorated with shades of soft blues at Cheekwood Estate and Gardens in Nashville, Tenn.

The ceremony took place in Wills Perennial Garden, which is known for its stunning landscape and natural beauty. Anna stunned in a lace v-neck mermaid gown, complemented by a classic bouquet with pops of blue. Her bridesmaids wore matching soft taupe dresses and held smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet. The couple said their “I dos” and showed off their rings as they were finally husband and wife.

Cocktail hour was held in the Wisteria Arbor, overlooking the Reflecting Pool. This area is known to thrive in the fall, so they could not have picked a better time of year for a cocktail hour in this perfect spot! 

Following the ceremony, guests headed to the FLC Courtyard for the reception. The area was lit up with twinkling string lights, while the tables were set with a mix of gorgeous blue and gold accents, including unique blue goblets and modern gold stands that held stunning floral arrangements that included white roses, hydrangeas, and greenery.  Custom menu cards were set at each place setting to ensure guests knew exactly what to expect next, and a greenery photo backdrop was set up with a custom LED sign of their new last name.

Guests snacked on little bites, including a garden greens salad, charred beef crostinis, pink pear crostinis, and pimento tomato bites— complemented by a refreshment station with sweet tea and lavender lemonade. 

The reception was well on its way. Dinner was a choice between jalapeño pork filet topped with a honey jalapeño marinade and cilantro, or Jack Daniel’s whiskey pecan chicken topped with a bourbon pecan sauce and tobacco onions. There were a variety of sides to go alongside the entrees, including white cheddar whipped potatoes, smoked gouda parmesan gourmet mac & cheese, and roasted brussels sprouts. They even had a kids buffet, featuring mac & cheese, chicken tenders, and fruit for all the kiddos in attendance.

Once dinner concluded, guests filled the dance floor! The celebration didn’t slow down until the newlyweds finally made their exit in a classic getaway car.

Congratulations, Anna and Kyle! We are so thankful we got to be a part of your charming day. We wish you all the best!
