The BEst Venues for Small Weddings
IN NASHVILLE, TN
Intimate and non-traditional wedding locations, as well as micro-weddings, have become increasingly trendy over the last couple of years, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Aside from how budget-friendly a smaller wedding can be, there are so many benefits of hosting a micro wedding. Planning an intimate wedding allows couples to create a deeply personal and memorable experience for themselves and their loved ones. Pulling back from a large-scale event and focusing on the small details of your wedding day has countless benefits. You’ll be able to curate each step of the way, connect more deeply with your guests, and ensure your day feels unique to you.
An intimate wedding also allows your floral budget to go further by eliminating the need for large quantities of centerpieces and focusing instead on bigger, more sculptural floral arrangements and installations. When planning a small wedding,
we believe quality and luxury do not have to be sacrificed.
