Nashville Wedding by Austin Gros
Some weddings were meant to be photographed and admired for hours upon end and honestly that’s what I’ve been doing with this little Nashville soirée. We’ve had a love affair all afternoon and I’m finally, finally ready to share my wedding crush. Captured by the insanely talented Austin Gros whose photographs are the epitome of GORG, this day is filled with details that are simple, paired down and undeniably pretty. And then there is the whole Monique Lhuillier corset moment that the bride is having. Total perfection. Have your own love affair with all the fabulous details here.

From the Bride… Planning a wedding is a special celebration for the bride, and a learning process for the bride and groom, filled with incredibly happy times, as well as times of realization. For example, when you realized buying stamps would cost more than your veil, or realizing your planners got you confused with another bride and suggested that at one point you wanted your programs printed on giant fans! Through tremendous loving, a lot of laughing, and numerous conversations centered around improving communication, we were able to create a day, a scene, a moment of pure happiness that we felt portrayed who we were, what we believed in, and how we plan on living our lives as we move forward together.
My dress was Monique Lhuillier, purchased from The Bride Room. The handmade corset goes by the name “Meringue,” “silk white embroidered chantilly lace embellished corset” as described by the designer. Through the process of planning and the challenge of keeping “the dress” a secret we referred to “her” as “Meringue” as if we were speaking in code! The brooch was love at first site. It was given to me as a gift from Lance the night before our wedding, I had been talking about how beautiful it was for months, and it was a perfect match for “Meringue!”
The bow ties were purchased at Levy’s. Lance and I originally chose the standard tie in the material of our choice, but Lance later returned to Levy’s with his parents and decided to have custom bow ties made using the same material as the original tie. They were the talk of the night and something Lance and his friends have already worn again since that day!
I am a Mississippi girl and, when choosing my caterer, I was taken by Catherine Bowling-Dean, who welcomes you into her work space, sits with you as you argue over twice baked potatoes or mashed potatoes, and hand writes all your choices on a yellow legal pad then ask for you to sign the bottom! It was perfect. She is straight forward, affordable, & includes the cakes in the deal! I decided to use 6 vintage cake stands with solid white 8 inch rounds placed on each, while for Lance we asked Catherine to make a traditional chocolate cake with chocolate covered strawberries. My two older sisters and family friends stayed up late the night before the wedding making mini golf cupcakes to place on the groom’s table to represent his interest! They were adorable and perfectly to scale, thanks to my sister the architect!
For wedding favors, a donation was made by Lance & I to a foundation very close to our hearts, Hands and Feet Project, the donation was made in place of purchasing wedding favors to hand out to guest! Cards informing guests of this donation, as well as information on the charity were placed throughout the venue.

The groom and groomsmen ties are amazing. I absolutely love the look.
She is gorgeous! They are a darling couple- they look like their wedding- I always love it when couples look comfortable in the space and design elements they choose. It is done right, not forced trends that were copied.
The nests and natural elements are great- the cake and the madras ties with bright boutoniere are my favorites! Such a sweet wedding.
The bride is so tiny! She looks beautiful
Does anyone know the designer for the bridesmaid's dresses?
Love all the beautiful details in this wedding! Things like the "With this ring" tag and the birds' nest were excellent touches. Well done, Austin, for capturing a beautiful wedding so well!
CUTE couple! I love the bride's hair.

Loving the rustic accents throughout the wedding, absolutely gorgeous styling
quirky + quaint... LOVE!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the ring pillow. Anyone know where I can find that one?
Thank ya'll more than you know for all the wonderful comments, compliments, and questions! We feel very blessed to have been able to create such an amazing day as we start our lives together. Austin captured each piece and moment perfectly, we will have these pictures surrounding us through it all!
Amsale is the designer for the bridesmaids dresses and they are in the colore blush I do believe.
The ring bearer pillow, along with cake stands, the brown rustic stems the flower girls carried, the birds nest cake topper and the mustaches were all ordered from different designers/artist featured on Etsy.
If you want to know the exact designer please ask, I will spare this message & beautiful website from becoming an advertisement. Just simply trying to answer the questions asked!
Thank you again for all your love, we appreciate everything we have been given and worked so hard for, it was the perfect day.
With much love,
Katherine Vinson
