Nashville Wedding Recap – Nicole & James

A pandemic, lengthy travel, and Covid restrictions couldn’t stop Nicole and James from having a beautiful summer wedding this past August. The Gaylord Opryland Resort was the perfect backdrop for their Nashville wedding. Check it out below!


Getting Ready

Nicole and all her best gals got ready in one of the stunning guest rooms provided by the resort. Check out those matching shirts! I think we could all use a little more pizza in our lives these days!


A dress fit for a princess – Nicole’s wedding dress was the stuff of fairytale dreams! Fun fact: Nicole visited the hotel as a child and swore she’d have her wedding there one day. Talk about making dreams come true!


After hair and makeup was complete, Nicole was zipped, buttoned, and clipped into the dress of her dreams with the help of some important women in her life.

Across the hotel, James was putting the finishing touches on his look.


His gray suit was complemented by pops of deep red.


How incredible does Nicole look?! Get ready for a sweet first look!


First Look & Couple Photos

James waited (a little anxiously) for Nicole to arrive for their first look. But when she did . . . all those nerves melted away.


We love the look on his face when he finally sees his bride!


Seal the deal with a kiss!


These two look ready to get hitched!

Once the wedding party joins in for photos, all bets are off! All six beautiful bridesmaids wore matching floor-length gowns in a deep shade of red.
