2012-01-03T10:37:00.014-06:00

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Julie & Clark

Julie & Clark reserved linens from Clarksville Linen Rental for their wedding day. "They rented eggplant overlays to go with their color scheme and they also rented white banquet chair covers for the chairs at their ceremony location. I suggested to Julie that she could ask some friends or family members to transport the chair covers to the reception site right after the ceremony. That way their chairs would be covered at both the ceremony and reception, but she would only have to rent one set of them. This is a great way to save money and there's usually plenty of time to move the chair covers, as the bridal party and family is usually taking photos right after the ceremony." -Danielle Lear, Clarksville Linen Rental

"Kristin's Bridal cake was full of flavor and style. The cake was a 4 tier cake with each layer being a different flavor. The bottom tier was a lemon flavor with raspberry filling. The next tier was a pistachio with a pistachio mousse filling. The next tier was a luscious chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling. The top layer was a lemon cake with a lemon filling. The grooms cake was packed full of flavor as well; it was a key lime cake. There was no absence of flavor and the guests had plenty to choose from. The bridal cake was decorated with an off white butter cream icing with an eggplant colored intricate lace scroll work.

Kristin & Mark: The Flowers

2011-12-28T11:43:00.014-06:00

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Kristin & Mark

"Kristin and her mom came to the florist more than a year before her October 8, 2011 wedding to let me begin planning her flowers. However, really the plans were all hers!! Kristin knew colors and flowers and centerpieces and every detail she wanted and it was certainly our pleasure to procure, design and deliver wonderful bouquets.

Kristin's matron of honor and bridesmaids carried large bouquets handtied in champagne ribbon with Vermeer and BlackStar calla lilies that are white with an eggplant center and solid eggplant color. To complement the lilies were lavender roses, white mums and cream hypericum berries.

At the church, we covered a large "K" and "M" in moss to hang with white satin from the inside church doors.

For the church pews, we covered oasis wreaths in moss, white spray roses, hydrangea and baby's breath and attached them with white satin ribbon.

For the church altar, Kristin and Mark brought to the florist a huge birdcage for us to fill with candlesticks, candles and flowers. Lining the bottom of the cage with oasis and opening the doors of the cage, we were able to fill the bottom with flowers and they spilled out from the front and sides. Roses, hydrangea, lilies, mums, stock, grass, seeded eucalyptus, Italian ruscus and hypericum berries gave a lush, garden focal point in the church.

At the Clarksville Country Club for the reception, Kristin carried the "love birds" theme into her table designs. Bringing to the florist 47 birdcages in a variety of sizes, she wanted those filled with candles and flowers also. We began weeks before the wedding by lining the bottoms of the cages with moss and placing inside more than 100 glittered and iced mechanical candles in three sizes. We could also work in the weeks ahead by placing dried cream and purple hydrangea, burgundy cockscomb and little birds, butterflies and bird's nests in and on the cages. Two days before the wedding, by using oasis igloos and wreaths we added again a multitude of fresh flowers to create a lush, garden scene on each of the reception tables. We used cream and blush roses, burgundy and white cushion and spider mums, white mini roses, calla lilies and hypericum berries with galax leaves and grass inside and outside of each cage. By adding satin ribbons and raffia ribbon to match the table linens, the effect was spectacular!!" -Helen Morris, Helen's Flowers

In this post, "Money Saving Tip for 2012 Weddings", Debra encourages brides and grooms to hire their wedding vendors as soon as possible.

Jennifer & Gavin hired Elements Event Planning and Design to help design and coordinate their wedding day. "Jenn and Gavin were a great couple!! Fun, energetic and ready to have a party! Jenn really wanted to have a contemporary flair at her reception, so we incorporated cream feathers, chinese lanterns, moss balls and gorgeous floral balls throughout the venue. Her colors of eggplant and olive were my favorite this season and made a huge statement. The bridesmaids were in plum and we used touches of olive and cream to create the perfect palette. The wedding day was flawless and their guests enjoyed the party the couple had hoped for!" -Terri Tenholder, Elements Event Planning and Design

Jennifer & Gavin: The Flowers

2011-11-22T11:03:00.002-06:00

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Jennifer & Gavin

Jennifer & Gavin chose Helen's Flowers to create their wedding day floral arrangements. "Jennifer chose the traditional wedding color, white, and worked it into every bouquet, boutonniere, corsage and mass flower design. Yet she also wanted to use the rich, dark colors of eggplant and purple so we combined the two for a truly unique, creative color scheme for her September 17th wedding at Forest Street Methodist Church and reception following at Water Street Event Center.

Jennifer's bouquet was a tight, rounded mass of white spiders, green buttons, eggplant calla lilies, white hybrid lilies, purple stock and dark purple hydrangeas and veronica rimmed with galax leaves and hand-tied with white satin ribbon.

She carried that theme forward in her bridesmaid's bouquets of white lilies and purple stock. They were hand-tied in eggplant satin ribbon to match the girl's eggplant-colored dresses.

Forest Street Methodist Church is a small, but sweet, church compared to most. So the two mass designs that we placed on the altar filled the area where the bride and groom took their vows. They stood in cream-colored urns on white pedestals with curly willow reaching to the sky. Again, white hydrangea, white stock, and white roses were accented with purple stock, larkspur and green spiders. Going to the reception guests were greeted by tall white table designs in all white stock, larkspur, spiders, roses, snapdragons and hydrangea but with the addition of large
white feather plumes! They were sassy and had a very festive flair to them atop glass containers.

It is always a pleasure to work with young women who have their own unique style and want you to show their creativity for them on their most special day. Women should never be afraid to choose their favorite mementos, dress or combination of colors to create wedding day memories that will last forever." -Helen Morris, Helen's Flowers

My SendOutCards

2011-11-19T14:05:00.003-06:00

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Michael Sparks of Those Card Folks to get the down low on the SendOutCards system. I'm not gonna lie - I wasn't 100% sure what exactly the system was, so I was happy to have this opportunity to learn what it was all about. First of all, I totally wasted Michael's time asking him to sit down and show me the system! It's incredibly user friendly and easy to operate. They even have step-by-step tutorial videos to help take you through the system.

If you go the the Those Card Folks website, thosecardfolks.com, on the top of the right hand column, there's a link that you can click to send your own free card (via Those Card Folks), so that's what I did! After watching the first video (it's short and sweet - promise!), I created a login and password, chose a card, entered my recipient's (aka my nephew's) name and address, and sent the card. What I think is really great about the system is that it stores your contacts in your own little database. This is such an incredibly valuable resource for brides and grooms. You are most likely going to send save the date cards, wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, many, many thank you cards, etc. All you have to do is enter the info once and you are good to go. Even after the wedding, you have this great list of all your friends and families addresses so it's easy to send Christmas cards, birth announcements :), etc.

All in all, it was SO easy (and FREE) to try out the SendOutCards system. It's definitely worth a few minutes just to head over to the Those Card Folks site, check out the system and send your free card.

"Olivia and Jeff had a big wedding - lots of family, lots of friends, lots of guests, lots of fun! Yet somehow, even though they were hosting quite the shindig, they managed to have a truly intimate ceremony and reception. The lighting at the ceremony focused your attention of what was important - the bride & groom - and their dj provided fabulous lighting at the reception so the dance floor was always on display. I had a great time at this wedding and I really enjoyed editing this wedding day highlights film (below) for them. Enjoy!" -Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

Olivia & Jeff hired Flowers by Patty for their wedding day floral needs. "Working on Olivia and Jeff’s wedding was not only a great experience, but I was also watching someone that I had watched grow up prepare for her big day. She knew what she wanted and we worked on getting just that. Her choices of flowers were Ivory Hydrangeas and Cabbage Roses which were perfect for her garden bouquets. The Ivory accented the taupe Bridesmaids Dresses.

The boutonnières for the Groom and Groomsmen incorporated her signature feathers. (Finally some attention paid to the guys!) Incorporating items that are special to the groom or groomsmen is a unique idea and adds a dash of flair to the tux." -Patty Davis, Flowers by Patty

From head to toe, Olivia looked amazing on her wedding day. Her wedding dress was simply stunning and not only did she purchase her bridal gown, shoes, veil, and headpiece at The Bride's Boutique, but her bridesmaids dresses were purchased from there as well. Olivia's gown is the Fiorella by Maggie Sottero and it's a "One-piece, A-line gown with zipper over inner corset with button/loop accent. This Soft Shimmer Satin gown is lavishly caught-up at various points in the skirt and features rich beaded embellishments with Swarovski crystals. Alternating diagonal pleats accenting the bodice and fitted hip area create a sensational figure. The intrigue of this style is enhanced with the optional beaded shoulder strap (not detachable) creating a fashionable one-shoulder treatment." -maggiesottero.comThis dress is available in white, alabaster, and pearl, and you can contact The Bride's Boutique for more information on this and many other gorgeous gowns.

Jenna & Sean, the happy couple from our current ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding, hired Elements Event Planning and Design to help design and coordinate their wedding day. Terri Tenholder of Elements was nice enough to share some details with us about Jenna & Sean's special day. "Jenna and Sean were such a great couple to work with! With both the bride and groom in grad school they entrusted us to handle the details and make sure their wedding day was perfect.

They chose a classic color palette of navy and white, but wanted to add a pop of color, so we chose little touches of fuchsia. We carried this theme throughout the day from the programs and ceremony to the reception, right down to the candy bar that was a huge hit with young and old alike!

The reception was the perfect ending to a wonderful day. Some guests had fun taking crazy pictures in the photo booth, while others ate, drank and danced the night away." -Terri Tenholder, Elements Event Planning and Design

Jenna & Sean: The Flowers

2011-11-08T13:05:00.007-06:00

Today we're sharing floral details from our current ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding by Katie Wright Photography. Jenna & Sean chose Helen's Flowers to create their wedding day floral arrangements and they did an amazing job!

"The pleasure was all ours in working with Jenna Atkins for her wedding on June 18th. Jenna wanted large white hydrangeas, peonies, roses and cymbidium white orchids for her bouquet. It was handtied in cream satin ribbon and pinned with a cameo brooch for a personal touch. Her bridesmaid's bouquets were blush and fuchsia peonies handtied with springmoss satin ribbon.

The main altar at Madison Street Methodist church is a large 90" wide and 20" deep table that will accommodate a wonderful design for the focalpoint of the wedding. Jenna chose a wealth of fresh flowers for this design in white and pink. We used hydrangeas, lilies, peonies, larkspur, snapdragons, roses and stock to create a lush compliment to the church surroundings. In a trumpet vase we also placed a memorial design on the altar of similar fresh flowers. Jenna also used our candle lanterns at the altar and we attached fresh flowers to them to compliment the main design.

All the tables at the reception held fresh flowers. Jenna chose tall vases of curly willow, bells of Ireland, hydrangeas and lilies for some tables and on the remaining tables she wanted low cube containers to contain a mass of snapdragons and looped bear grass. Jenna chose fuchsia and shades of pink for the snapdragon colors and they were stunning. The overall feel of the wedding was classic, bountiful garden." -Helen's Flowers

Today we're sharing some gorgeous photos from a recent bridal shoot in Paris, TN by Shane Irwin Photography. Shane was kind enough to share some details with us about the recent shoot. "I shot Brittney's wedding in June of 2010. We wanted to eventually do a bridal shoot together, or as I usually call my style, a "rock the dress" shoot...So, on Oct 15th, 2011 I went to Paris to shoot her in her own town again, where she was married. We drove around and I spotted locations on the fly. I love to "drive and shoot". Of course, the mini-Eiffel tower location was a planned stop." -Shane Irwin, Shane Irwin Photography

Libby & Seth: The Linens

2011-10-19T09:47:00.004-05:00

We're sharing details this week from our newest ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding by Laura Kay Photography. Today is all about the linens! Libby contacted Clarksville Linen Rental looking for some black polyester linens for her Front Page Deli reception. "Libby rented 90" round, 108" round, 90x156", and 90x132" black polyester tablecloths for her wedding day. She also rented 1 black poly folding chair cover, used for their garter toss." -Danielle Lear, Clarksville Linen Rental

Libby & Seth kept it simple at their reception. Libby told Danielle that they didn't really have wedding colors, being that there were no bridesmaids dresses to match, etc so she just wanted the basic table linens at her reception. Click here to view photos from the reception and the rest of the wedding day on ClarksvilleBrides.com.

I LOVE This Cake!

2011-10-13T10:34:00.007-05:00

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

I HAVE to share this cake with you! Ever since I saw Bethany Ann Photography post a photo of this beauty on Facebook, I'm just drawn to it! Everything about the cake is amazing and everything around the cake is amazing! I think so many times couples forget about what is behind/around the cake, not realizing that when they are cutting the cake and people are snapping photos, the background will be right there with them! This was just such a gorgeous backdrop. I love everything about it! Alright, now let's talk cake! What kind of cake did the happy couple choose?? "They decided on a five tier round heavenly confection of Strawberry cake, Carrot cake with cheesecake filling and French vanilla cake, all covered with gorgeous ivory vanilla buttercream. The cake was to be wrapped with ivory fondant ribbons and adorned with rhinestone buckles purchased by the groom’s mother." -coveredwithicing.com/blog

Yummy!!! Big props to Covered with Icing for designing and baking such a gorgeous and delicious cake! Click here to visit the Covered with Icing blog to hear more about the details on the cake, see more fab photos, and get an inside look straight from Heather of Covered with Icing!

Morgan & Ed: The Cake

2011-10-05T10:23:00.006-05:00

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

We're still sharing details from Morgan & Ed's ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding today! Gayle Howard, owner of Yaya's Cake Shoppe, shared with us the delicious details about the bridal and groom's cakes.

"The Bridal cake was an elegant 4 tiered cake, the entire cake was white cake with ivory buttercream icing. Applied over the ivory buttercream was a white royal icing lace stencil design. A creamy yellow fondant ribbon was added around the bottom of each tier with bows on two of the tiers and beautiful broaches supplied by the bride for an added elegant touch.

The Grooms cake was red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. The cake was a whimsical cake with two hunters sitting atop the cake. One designed to depict the groom and one his father. Sitting back to back aiming their guns at a turkey and a deer. Along the sides of the cake were UK logos as the groom is an avid UK fan." -Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe

Cassie & Greg: The Cake

2011-08-03T11:30:00.006-05:00

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Clarksville Linen Rental

Today we're sharing more details from Cassie & Greg's wedding day, and we are on to the cake! The happy couple chose Yaya's Cake Shoppe to create both their wedding cake and groom's cake.

"The Bridal cake was a 4 Tier square cake. The flavor was white cake with two of the layers being filled with lemon. The cake was iced smooth with white butter cream and decorated with yellow fondant ribbon and a large yellow bow on top. Both the ribbon and bow had hand painted white polka dots on them. On the second tier from the top there was a pear green monogram with the couple’s initials.

The grooms cake was a chocolate cake decorated with fondant and butter cream icing. The cake top was decorated to look like a baseball field with a large Base ball cap on it. The cap was made from rice krispy treats covered in white chocolate and then covered in fondant. The sides of the cake were decorated with butter cream icing and then a sign was made to go on the side of the building with fondant and an icing image." -Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe
