ANTHONY + SHEENA
W.O. SMITH MUSIC SCHOOL | NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

We absolutely adore this couple! Sheena has such a creative and vibrant personality that compliments Anthony’s fun and charismatic one. When we first met up with them for their engagement session at The Cordelle we immediately connected with them and had such a fantastic time together so we were super excited for their wedding at W.O. Smith Music School in downtown Nashville. Anthony & Sheena had a beautiful ceremony and  their ceremony with their family, friends, & fraternity brothers and sorority sisters was an absolutely fantastic evening!

She paired it with individual miniature bottles of champagne & orange juice for them to make their own mimosas! She also added a clutch, bracelet, necklace, earrings, & personal note to each box.

It was seriously the perfect weather for an early spring wedding in Nashville.

We love when we find couples who were friends for a long time before things blossomed into romance. Friendship is such a key foundation to a relationship and these two are the best of friends.

2016-04-07_00402016-04-07_00502016-04-07_0028For the ceremony, the couple had a Rose Ceremony instead of traditional Candle or Sand Ceremony. Which, we absolutely adore because we actually performed the Rose Ceremony at our own wedding and this is the first we’ve ever seen another couple do their for their ceremony too!

Classic, elegant, and gorgeous too! It fit so seamlessly into the decor of the reception and complimented all of the purple and fuschia lighting in the space. Plus, Julia’s always has the most divinely delicious cake!

The men of Kappa were thrilled for their fraternity brother & Sheena’s sorority sisters were showering her with love and happiness.
