Cedarwood Visit

Photo by Mint and Sage

Friends I am super excited this morning: Mr. SE and I are finally going to visit Cedarwood! I've had my eye on this location since I started researching weddings 15 years ago (okay, only 2 years). I'll be sure to post about our visit, along with some much needed photos. Enjoy your Sunday!

Outdoor Chic

This single picture exemplifies the feel I'd like our reception to have:

• Outdoor cocktail hour and/or reception
• Southern (easygoing, hospitable), but Black Tie (formal) affair
• Little bit of me (DC), little bit of Mr. SE (Georgia)
• Fun for both young and older guests (lots of dancing)
  

A while back, Snippet and Ink did a great inspiration board called Back Yard Black Tie. I can't seem to find the board now, but I'll be looking around for you. There's so many locations around Nashville that would be great for an event like this: Sam Davis House, Cedarwood, Carnton, and Traveller's Rest. Did you have a vision for your reception? Or did you just start once you picked the reception venue? I want out guests to spend either the cocktail hour or reception outdoors, but the possibility of rain makes me nervous. It's one more thing I don't want to stress about!

*Update* I found the inspiration board in my OneNote binder.
