Loretta Lynn's 50th Anniversary in Country Music Event....

For the past 4 months we had the opportunity to help plan Loretta Lynn's 50th anniversary in country music celebration at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. To start the event off Loretta Lynn had a press conference inside her museum, with every media outlet in Nashville. She answered a few questions about her career and what she will do after she is done. 

For the event we put up two large tents with lots of lighting. We set up a stage area and projection screen where a presentation/speeches were given in honor of Loretta and her 50 years in country music. Marty Stewart and Crystal Gayle were a few of the speakers. The decor we did a shabby chic country feel, we used purple and yellow flower decor, Loretta's favorite colors. We tied in curly willow, lanterns, mason jars, and a wagon with Loretta's signature Kentucky Moonshine. Table linens; ivory with a gold floral overlay and the gold safari chairs to tie in some gold for her 50th anniversary. The lighting we did a soft amber with a few pops of purple on the stage lighting. Chef's Market set up food stations with barn doors and various southern foods all of Loretta's favorites: fried catfish, grits, and BBQ. 

We would like to give a huge thanks to Grand Central Party, Nashville Event Lighting, Nashville Audio Visual, Chef's Market, Branching Out, and Relish Invitation design (Stephanie did the invitations and the record coasters).  Below are a few pictures please enjoy!

Rustic lighting....

Lighting is such a huge deal when thinking about having an evening wedding. It really helps your pictures pop and you can also add your own personal twist. There are many different types of lighting whether it's a lamp shade centerpiece or an old southern lantern. Another budget savvy idea for lighting is mason jars hanging from the trees. We love the rustic lighting ideas below take a look let us know what you think......

Jen and Brad's Wedding August 21, 2010

Jen and Brad gave Nashville Event Planning the opportunity to travel to Ohio and plan their wedding. Jen and Brad exchanged vows at Jen's family church in Hudson, Ohio and had an elegant ceremony to follow at the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls, Akron. In the back of the Sheraton there is a beautiful fall that runs along the whole back side (below are a few pics). Her color scheme was Tiffany blue, black and white. The blue up lighting in the ballroom helped highlight the Tiffany blue color scheme. Her photographer was the lovely Jenny Benz, Captured with Love www.capturedwithlove.com below are her amazing pictures......














Congrats you two....We will miss you...

Malena and Derrick's Wedding, August 14, 2010

We will miss Malena and Derrick, we helped them through out their whole planning process. Malena and Derrick had both their ceremony and reception at Hermitage Golf Course. The colors scheme purple and pink, went great with the natural landscaping around the ceremony area and we tied the colors into the reception decor. Malena and Derrick decided to go with a candy bar for their guest and it was a hit for the children and the adults! We wanted to say congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Sherrill and we will miss working with you two. Pictures by Michelle Hines Photography.
