On Friday, August 24, Chelsey and Stephen decided to tie the knot! It was a beautiful summer day filled with so much love and laughter with a stunning wedding ceremony and reception.
Getting Ready
The Bridal Party arrived at Chelsey’s apartment to get ready for the big day. One10 Beauty arrived to get Chelsey and her six bridesmaids ready. The girls all got their hair and makeup done and helped Chelsey get into her beautiful dress.
How gorgeous is that ring?!
Remember the old saying “something old, something new, somethings borrowed and something blue”? Did you know that saying used to have more to it, being “and a sixpence in her shoe”? Over time the tradition changed from a sixpence to a penny. The tradition with the penny has a lot of other meanings in other cultures but ultimately represents good luck and good fortune for the couple. Can’t put the penny in your shoe? Follow Chelsey’s lead and tape it to the bottom!
How cute of an idea is this tie? It’s something they’ll both cherish forever.
Meanwhile, Stephen was getting himself ready for his big debut and to lay eyes on his stunning bride.
Ceremony Details
Chelsey and Stephen had a stunning ceremony with their family and friends alongside them. Every little detail made the ceremony so special.
Ceremony
At 5:30, Chelsey made her way down the aisle with her father by her side. The ceremony was held at the gorgeous Belle Meade Plantation. The summer day allowed for amazing lighting and brought everything together perfectly. The look of love on Stephen’s face is one of our favorite moments from their day.
Wedding Party Photos
Everyone looked amazing and they all got some beautiful pictures before the bride and groom went off on their own.
The groomsmen wore navy blue ties with grey jackets which fit the summer season so well. The groom wore a white tie which matched his gorgeous bride and allowed him to stand out.
The groomsmen wore their fun socks to show their love for their team and home town.
The bridal party wore beautiful navy blue floor length dresses, matching with the groomsmen. They all held white blossoming bouquets that were full of roses and other gorgeous greenery. Their bouquets contrasted their dresses so well!
Bride and Groom Photos
It’s their turn to head out over the beautiful property at Belle Meade Plantation to get some stunning shots.
Reception Details
The reception was also held at the Belle Meade Plantation.
The four-tiered cake was made by Nashville Sweets. The cake held a timeless design with elegant flowers and metallic detailing. We also love the custom-made silver cake topper that matches the silver on the cake!
We love how fun and romantic this sequins sweetheart table decor is! The candles add such a soft touch to it all as well.
Guests were able to take home customized koozies and candy so that they could always remember the special day.
Reception Highlights
The evening started with the bride and groom entering in as Mr. and Mrs. for the first time to the song “Friends in Low Places.”
Then the couple was able to cut their scrumptious cake for the guests who were waiting with anticipation for the sweet treat.
Chelsey and Stephen got to share their first dance together to the song “Diamonds or Twine” by Ryan Hurd. It was such a special moment between the two of them.
After the couples first dance, Chelsey and her father shared their dance to the song “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw. Then it was Stephen’s turn to dance with his mother to “My Wish” by Rascall Flats.
After all of the fun dancing and cake cutting, Chelsey threw her gorgeous bouquet back and Stephen tossed the garter. Everyone shared so many laughs.
The couple exited the ceremony in style as their family and friends wished them farewell. Chelsey and Stephen were met with streamers and pom poms.
We wish you both nothing but the best as you embark on the best journey of your lives. Thank you for letting our team be part of your special day!
