The Monroe on 415th, one of Nashville’s newest wedding venues, recently played host to a styled shoot that blended southern charm with a coastal garden party theme. This collaboration was brought to life by the talented Bailey Fox of Gathered Wedding Planning, who co-hosted the event along with the venue.
The model couple, Skylar and Desi, were the perfect embodiment of this theme. Their chemistry was undeniable, making them an ideal choice to showcase the vibrant and romantic atmosphere we aimed to capture. Their natural connection brought an added layer of authenticity to the shoot, which was truly a celebration of love in its most joyful form.
Wild Iris Florals provided the floral arrangements, which were nothing short of spectacular. The team created a vibrant, elegant display that added depth and color to every frame. The florals were the perfect complement to the natural beauty of The Monroe on 415th, especially when paired with the stunning backdrop of Tennessee’s rolling hills. The couple’s portraits against this breathtaking scenery were some of the day’s highlights, encapsulating the serene and picturesque essence of a southern garden party.
The bridesmaids brought their own touch of whimsy to the shoot, donning dresses in soft, garden-inspired hues. Instead of traditional bouquets, they carried baskets filled with florals—a unique and playful twist that perfectly aligned with the shoot’s theme. This detail added a fresh and unconventional element to the overall aesthetic, making the day feel even more special and tailored.
As the day transitioned from the garden to the patio, Skylar and Desi enjoyed custom cocktails in the garden patio area, designed to mirror the elegance and lightheartedness of the shoot. This moment of relaxation and celebration was a fitting end to a day that was as delightful as it was beautiful.
This styled shoot at The Monroe on 415th was a perfect fusion of classic southern elegance and coastal charm, providing endless inspiration for couples looking to create a wedding day that is both sophisticated and fun. It was a true celebration of love, style, and the magic that happens when the right team comes together to create something truly special.
