Our team had the privilege of planning for Alli + Marshall while they lived out of state in Nashville, TN.

They knew from early on in the process that they wanted their day to feel intimate, even with a larger guest count and classic- with modern touches throughout the design.

We kicked the weekend off with a sunset cocktail cruise for all of the guests, and started the reception with an intimate cruise for two on an Italian inspired boat (which, we embellished with a floral garland, of course) .

Sprinkled throughout the design was a custom crest inspired monogram. It was thoughtfully featured in their cocktail napkins, guest favor matches, and menus.

Working with an earth toned palette, we chose ceramics + stoneware for the florals to complement the lakeside terrain.

Despite the rainy evening, the band kept us on the dance floor all night. They even ended the evening with a traditional New Orleans style second line to lead the guests to the formal exit.
