Classic Garden Wedding at Belle Meade

This past year I had the honor of working with Taylor & Alex to plan their perfect wedding. Taylor wanted a classic, Spring garden wedding, and she fell in love with Belle Meade Historic Site on our first tour. It’s the perfect shaded backdrop for your ceremony, with tons of flowers and gorgeous garden sites for photos.

April is a wonderful time of year for weddings in Tennessee. It’s a little cool, but comfortable outside, and you can avoid the heat that comes with summer. Many flowers begin to bloom, which makes it a great time of year for a garden wedding. With any outside wedding there’s a risk of rain, but we were grateful to avoid it for Taylor & Alex’s perfect day.

Personal details like this family bridal portrait make your photos unique and extra special.
This vintage suitcase is a super cute way to store all of your wedding memorabilia.
Belle Meade Historic Site is beautiful at any time of year. For this April wedding, many of the flowers were already in bloom.
The Belle Meade mansion makes a great backdrop for bridal portraits, and if you like your guests can tour the mansion during cocktail hour.
The perfect spot to sneak away for a kiss!
Belle Meade has a built-in ceremony space surrounded by magnolia trees. It’s the perfect amount of light for photos without baking in the sun for summer weddings.
After the perfect wedding ceremony, you’re sure to be this excited for your own reception!
Many couples are opting for a small, personal cake for cutting and other dessert options for guests.

Thanks Taylor for leaving such a kind review:

“Kelsey was a fantastic wedding planner! From start to finish she ensured that we were armed with information, provided different tools to help us throughout the entire wedding planning process and was always available if we needed additional advice or assistance. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She worked in the background and made the day absolutely perfect! Highly recommend!”

In addition to the honor of just being able to work on this wedding and with this fabulous couple, I’m so grateful to say that this wedding has been featured in a special post by the Wed Society. Please check it out!
