Whitney & Brandon: The Flowers

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Whitney and Brandon

Whitney and Brandon got all of their wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and floral arrangements from Sango Village Florist. Whitney carried an all-white bouquet, while the bridesmaids' bouquets had some green mixed in with the white, and we love how the green really pops against the purple bridesmaids' dresses! Be sure to check out the reception centerpiece by Sango Village Florist (see bottom photo) - it's a gorgeous, bright floral arrangement that really stands out on the black tablecloth.

Whitney & Brandon: The Photographer

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Whitney and Brandon

Whitney and Brandon hired Joan of Art Photography to photograph their wedding day. "Whitney and Brandon said 'I Do' in a beautiful ceremony that included many friends and family. The church was filled, but an intimacy prevailed as the couple shared the exchange of vows. The following reception rocked the house at The Cumberland Room, with much food and drink and dancing until the wee hours of the night." -Joan Evans, Joan of Art Photography
