Intimate Wedding Inspiration at Cherokee Dock

Ever since we stepped foot on the property at Cherokee Dock, we knew it was something special! The expansive tree-lined driveway is what really drew us in! After touring the estate, we learned that Reba was the previous owner and that it was home to some of the most prestigious weddings in Tennessee! Right on the lake and yet, as private as can be, it’s truly one of a kind.

The shoot was inspired by modern black and grey tones, while also adding some playful colorful moments. We like to do the unexpected, which we did with the hints of mustard and the subtle pops of color in the florals. We loved the idea of creating a deconstructed arch, so that it was still a statement, while also not taking away from the beautiful view of the lake! Kelly of Echoes and Eden really went above and beyond on the flowers and moved us with her flower choices! Mayker provided the most beautiful modern rentals- something you just don’t see that much of in Nashville! True trendsetters, that’s for sure! Their lounge was also the backdrop for the most beautiful cake by Ivey Cakes, which made a statement with its cool color tones and simple wispy florals!

Erica of 1011 Make Up executed the most beautiful looks on our models. She’s truly a creative genius and her idea to sprinkle tiny dried flowers in our bride's hair will forever be a favorite. Our bride was dressed in gorgeous dresses from The Dress Theory! She wore a Rue De Seine dress that was TO DIE FOR... bringing all our colored wedding dress dreams to life! She also slipped into a timeless dress by Sarah Seven that balanced everything out perfectly.
Heather of River and Bridge created the most beautiful invitation suite and stationery on the table. It’s crazy what paper will do to an overall look- completely elevating it and adding the charm the table craved! Kelsey Rae Designs hand-picked out the tabletop rentals thoughtfully bringing in the modern, moody vibes! And Garrett Richardson Photography so perfectly captured everything- the true essence of amazing teamwork!
