This year we’ve noticed that the “natural” cake designs have been very popular. We love the organic look and feel of this cake trend! These types of cakes would be perfect in an eco-friendly or even vintage inspired wedding. We’ve put together a few of our favorites from The Bake Shoppe…enjoy!
Classic Stucco Design- We just loved the Burlap Detail! And the flowers add such a feminine touch.
Fresh Berries and Shortcake – A uniquely light approach to the traditional wedding cake!
Vintage Rose Garden – Love that the bottom tier of cake is made to resemble a tree stump with the roses climbing up the top tiers!
Wood Grain – Awesome way to incorporate a monogram in a non-traditional way
Cupcakes- The use of pallets as display cases for cupcakes…genius!

The best thing about Nashville is the combination of rural and city life. It is one of the only big cities in the U.S that can capture the essence of both! Allow guests to soak up the sites of Music City with a Rooftop wedding or reception! I mean, who wouldn’t want this view as the backdrop for their special event?
Although the weather is still chilly outside, now is the best time to start planning your warm weather wedding so we’ve chosen a few of our favorites to give you a sneak peek.
1. Aerial: This downtown private event space is located right downtown on Broadway and gives incredible views of the city’s nightlife
2. One Eleven Broadway: This is another venue located right downtown on Broadway. What sets this venue apart from the others is its prime location between the Cumberland River and the main strip!
3. Our very own Events @1418: We are located right in the heart of music city on church street and boast gorgeous exposed brick and harwood floors in our indoor space as well as an intimate rooftop terrace overlooking the city
4. Sambuca: Located in one of Nashville’s most desireable neighborhoods, The Gulch, Sambuca offers fabulous food and cocktails and a newly renovated rooftop terrace. This terrace is perfect for windy night because it is totally enclosed in floor to ceiling retractable glass doors that allow you to have that open-air feel when the weather is nice, while still allowing you to keep warm and enjoy the view when it isn’t!
5. The Renaissance Hotel: The current home of Nashville’s Convention Center, this modern hotel has a gorgeous rooftop pool and observation deck that would be perfect for outdoor weddings!

Legacy Farms is often selected by clients based on its vintage charm and serene local, but there is so much more to this beautiful old manor than that! We’d like to take you on a historical journey of how this magnificent property has been an anchor in the community through war and peace for over 150 years.
Dr. Newburn Jennings began construction on what we now call the manor house in 1832. These original 4 rooms were used as a hospital where he cared for sick and wounded Union soldiers during the Battle of Murfreesboro. War times called for food, money and medical supply shortages for many, but Legacy Farms was there to provide the food and extra money earned from crops and livestock to keep the hospital and subsequently the patients alive through this difficult time. The property was also housed an underground tunnel used by soldiers during attack and later on by slaves escaping to freedom on the underground railroad.
After war times, the needs of the property owners changed. With no more wounded soldiers to care for, it would be much more useful as a family home. Again, Legacy Farms met the needs of the owner providing ample land for livestock to graze and crops to be grown, lush ponds where people could escape the heat, and plenty of space to make additions to the manor for large families and guests.
Four additional bedrooms and all eight bathrooms were eventually added to the original manor through the generations of families that inherited the property as well as the staircase which was brought in from New York. The house was used as a social gathering place by many in the area and saw its fair share of laughter and dancing throughout the years. Neighbors would come from miles around to use the telephone or listen to The Grand Ole Opry on the radio because, at the time, Legacy Manor was the only place around that had such modern electronics. In effect, the owners of Legacy Farms were at one time, the only source of news for miles around.
In the 1990′s the property, in need of a lot of TLC, was bought at auction by Jaqueline George who brought the manor back to life as a Bed and Breakfast called Cedarvine Manor, then resold again in 2010 to its current owners Jerry and Kellie Bryson.
With their roots firmly planted in the wedding industry, the Brysons transformed Legacy Farms into a gorgeous venue perfect for any party from 40 to 400! Boasting 22 acres of quiet lush countryside including a historic manor turned B&B, a newly remodeled event center, log cabin, beautifully manicured courtyards perfect for an outdoor wedding, and a pier overlooking the serene water-scape.
Throughout the years many families have called Legacy Farms home and each one has restored or added their own touch creating the uniquely beautiful venue that you see today.
Add your special day to the long list of magical moments in Legacy Farms’ deep rooted history! Contact us today to come view this incredible property by phone at 615-321-2394 or by email at Kellie@maineventpro.com
Without a doubt, the most popular time of the year to get married and have special events is summer and fall. People tend to want to stay inside during the winter and early spring months to keep warm and cozy. Where’s the fun in that? Just because the temperature outside is dipping, doesn’t mean the parties need to stop!
There are so many unique and fun things to do for cold weather soirees that cannot be done in the popular months. How about rewarding your guests for venturing out of their nests into the cold with a hot beverage bar?
A decadent hot chocolate station complete with quaint little jars of toppings could include mini marshmallows, cinnamon, creme de menthe, whipped cream, and silky chocolate shavings! Check out these awesome inspiration photos… We can’t wait to try these out!
An apple cider bar can be really fun and feastive as well! Bright red and yellow gala apples adorning the table along with cinnamon swizzle sticks, and red hots to garnish the bottom for an extra kick of cinnamon flavor. Even adding a little splash of bourbon would make a lovely signature drink during cocktail hour!
This would also work well for eggnog during the Holidays. Check out the frothy mugs of yumminess from A Catered Affair that was served at a Holiday party this past year!
Whether your drink of choice is coffee, tea, cider, hot chocolate, or eggnog, a hot beverage bar from A Catered Affair is sure to warm the hearts and hands of your guests this season!
