Sometimes we get to work with brides that make us dream about going to their wedding. This one was of those moments. Lauren’s classic style was refreshing and easy. She and Mark love all things French, which makes us love them even more! Their French menu and wine made our mouth water, literally not figuratively. As you look at their photos, you will see why we love their style so much. We are honored that they chose to use us to help announce their timeless wedding! Cheers to you, Lauren and Mark! Joie de vivre!!
p.s. take a peek at Lauren’s reception dress – c’est bon (translation, it’s good!).
The (Happy!) Couple’s Names: Lauren and Mark Hollingsworth
Wedding Date: September 5, 2015
Location: Hermitage Hotel, Nashville, TN
Tell us “your story.” Mark and I met a little more than five years ago, one week after he had moved to Nashville. After missing the opportunity to exchange numbers when we met, we hoped we would somehow run into each other. It took almost two months, but we finally did! The scene was like something out of a movie—I was out with friends and was about to leave to head home when I turned around and Mark was right there. We have been together since. We love to travel, cook and learn and feel so blessed to be on this adventure together.
Pick three words you would use to describe your wedding. French-inspired fete
We love your style! Tell us a little bit about your aesthetic… We chose the Hermitage Hotel as our venue because the beauty of the space speaks for itself. In this way, it reminded us of France, a place we both love. It is also an iconic building within this city, so it represents some of what we love about Nashville.
After we had secured the classic venue we had hoped for, we looked for other elements that would complement the beauty and style of the Hermitage Hotel. From my wedding dress, to the dinner menu and music, I wanted to find things that felt timeless. Mark and I both have pretty classic style so we wanted the elements of our big day to reflect this. He wore a classic black tuxedo from Sid Mashburn, and I chose a romantic English lace wedding dress by Temperley Bridal. The hotel is already a colorful place, so we chose to accent its beauty with candlelight and simple floral arrangements.
For the reception, we hired a talented jazz band that played Miles Davis and other classics throughout the cocktail hour and reception. We had a seated dinner featuring a French menu with the traditional courses paired with some of our favorite French wines.
What was your very favorite detail from the day? Changing dresses midway through the reception. I changed from my long English lace gown that was perfect for the ceremony and dinner into a modern short dress that was perfect for the dance floor. AND our ceremony officiated by Reverend Mike Wilson from Downtown Presbyterian.
One thing you wish you would’ve know before you started wedding planning…how much time it takes! I work full-time in healthcare and am finishing an MBA, so I probably couldn’t have chosen a busier time in my life to plan a wedding.
Tell us why you love EOH custom paper lovelies! Mark and I love supporting local businesses that bring an exceptional craft or service to this area. We had originally looked at stationers from various parts of the U.S. but were interested to see if there was a better local option. We were so pleased to find EOH right here in Nashville and really enjoyed working with Emily on designing the classic paper suite we had envisioned.
