Kacy and Michael’s luxury Nashville wedding was a celebration of style and sophistication, beginning with an elegant rehearsal dinner at the Hermitage Nashville and culminating in a stunning reception at the Nashville Public Library. From the custom champagne tower to the literary-themed reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple’s unique taste. With the help of Southern Events, their vision came to life through carefully selected rentals that added an extra touch of luxury and charm to their unforgettable celebration.

Sipping in Style

While the pair didn’t host a hotel wedding, the Hermitage Nashville was an idyllic backdrop for their sophisticated rehearsal dinner. The celebration started with an elegant cocktail hour, where guests gathered around our 6-foot Thompson White Bar, elevated with a custom bar menu on a banner. The real star of the show however was the champagne tower. It featured Gatsby Coupe Glasses filled with champagne and edible flowers, delicately stacked atop the Chelsea Marble Top Bar. To keep guests comfortable, tables in blue patterned linens and wood Harlin Dining Chairs were placed nearby.

A Refined Rehearsal Dinner

In addition to fun spring-inspired cocktails, Kacy and Michael’s guests enjoyed a catered dinner in the Veranda. It was a stunning backdrop, with the floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows and a ceiling painted to look like blue cloud-filled skies. Here, a single banquet table was outfitted in ivory linens, contrasted by classic black Chiavari Chairs with white padding. Place settings were simple, featuring White Coupe China, Bradley Flatware, and Pure Glassware. While fresh flowers and bright blue menus provided a romantic splash of color.

Dinner & Dancing Among the Stacks

The couple’s ceremony took place in the lobby of the Nashville Public Library. Afterward, the wedding reception was hosted in the Grand Reading Room. Guests spent an evening in elegance with a dash of scholarly charm, surrounded by rich wood paneling and shelves filled with literary classics. The wedding party sat at a long banquet table and guests at round. The crisp white table linens offered a sleek look in contrast to the cozy wood Cross-Back Chairs. Set against our luxurious Ophelia China and Austin Gold Flatware, soft blue linens were a fun splash of color.

Following dinner, guests were treated to the wedding cake. It was perched beautifully atop a table draped in our soft blue-hued Somerset Linens. A Full Oval Bar was close by, the perfect size to accommodate the newlywed’s large guest count. Meanwhile, a black and white dance floor in combination with the vaulted ceilings offered the illusion of a luxurious ballroom wedding. A custom stage with white podiums lined with florals made for an elegant backdrop, in addition to housing the live band.

Champagne towers are more than just a cascade of delicious bubbly; they’re a spectacular celebratory statement piece for your wedding reception. Not only do they create a memorable photo opportunity, but they also double as stunning reception decor. At Southern Events, we’re excited to share design tips, including our favorite glassware selections, to help you create a truly unforgettable bubbly display. Or, if you aren’t head over heels for wedding champagne towers, check out a few equally impressive grab-and-go beverage areas.

Toast Worthy Glassware

The key to a stylish champagne tower lies in your choice of glassware. Select a champagne glass rental that complements the aesthetic of your wedding, whether it’s sleek and sophisticated or bold and eclectic. Our Gatsby Coupe Glassware is a modern choice that offers a timeless look yet features a solid base that is perfect for stacking. Matching the glassware to your overall decor ensures a cohesive and elegant presentation.

Eye-Catching Table Linens

Elevate your champagne tower with luxurious table linens that add an extra wow factor. Consider using materials that lend a touch of opulence, like a rich Grape Velvet or romantic Blush Matte Satin. Or opt for vibrant colors and prints to make a bold statement, such as the Four Seasons Floral. The right table linens not only enhance the visual appeal of your champagne display but also tie together the overall look of your reception space.

Pick a Bold Beverage

If champagne isn’t your drink of choice or if you’re looking to add a unique twist to your tower, consider opting for a colorful beverage. Infuse your tower with cocktails or mocktails that match your wedding theme, color palette, or even the season. Whether that means incorporating a bright mixer, colorful flowers, or edible glitter. This alternative not only adds variety but also surprises and delights your guests with unexpected flavors and hues.

Other Popular Drink Displays

For couples considering alternatives to a traditional champagne tower, Southern Events offers creative solutions. Our White 6 Tier Serving Tower provides stability while maintaining the classic tower shape, perfect for those who prefer a more secure display. Alternatively, transform our Market Cart or Bar into an elegant drink station with beverage dispensers, allowing guests to enjoy batch cocktails or refreshing mocktails at their leisure. For a simpler approach, showcase signature cocktails on a Bookcase display to streamline bar service and reduce crowding.
