Crowe + Thiele Rehearsal Dinner

The southern, rustic details of this rehearsal dinner made you feel right at home, amongst friendly faces and good hearty food that can only be made in Tennessee. Friends and family traveled from all over the world to be with Carrie and Johnathan as they prepared for their special day.

Travelers Rest Plantation provided the perfect “Nashville feel” that Carrie and Johnathan wanted their international guests to experience. The evening was filled with warm personal touches as guests shared special stories about their relationship with the bride and groom.

 

  

The Bride designed these placemats that showcased facts about their Nashville home as well as provided the guests with some trivia entertainment about the couple.

Bacon and Caviar Gourmet Catering provided traditional southern dishes that had the guests coming back for seconds!

The bride and groom’s favorite snacks were displayed for the guests to try, another personal touch and my personal favorite 🙂

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii          

Spangler Entertainment had everyone on their feet dancing the night away! This crowd sure knew how to have FUN!

Thank you Carrie and Jonathan for letting Burlap and Brooches Events be a part of this wonderful night!

A Night of Nostalgia

Planning a fundraiser compared to a wedding is like baking a cake compared to a pie. A baker does both, but they are very different concepts and tastes.

The Night of Nostalgia Fundraiser was a grand success and huge hit with the addition of casino night this year. Guests arrived in their flapper and zoot suit best to play craps and dance big band style.

 

 

The inspiration for the décor was inspired by a wedding bouquet designed by Denise Bann of Green Finch Floral Design. Denise, as well as Vicki from Branching Out and Bonnie from Belles Fleurs provided the gorgeous flowers. A special Thank you to Nashville Event Lighting, Southern Events, Visual Elements, Liberty Rentals, Spangler Entertainment, Dessert Designs, Gigi’s Cupcakes, Ivey Cakes, Nothing Bundt Cake, Maxwell House Hotel, Jo Dee Messina, Mikasha Clark Photography and Melissa Irwin Photography who provided all of these fabulous photos!!

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
