A Modern Garden Party in Nashville, Tennessee at War Memorial Auditorium
Becky & Michael
June 19, 2021
War Memorial Auditorium
Becky had such a clear vision for her day: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, dripping in true red and pink flowers with accents of French blue. The historic venue was so important. War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee is a music venue and these two love music and have attended many concerts there.
Rather than a seating chart, guests received a box with their place card, tied with French ribbon. Inside were tiny alabaster sculptures. Michael used his graphic design skills to design the paper goods with his bride-to-be, and they recruited a set designer to create their photobooth back drop, reminiscent of Rodarte’s Spring 2020 campaign. The busts and fruit gave the tabletops a decadent, Greco feel. The cake was a gilded faux marble with, of course, red velvet.
