A smaller wedding does not mean smaller style! To help inspire you, we’re sharing a handful of ways that you can pull off a small, yet elegant intimate wedding, featuring wedding design ideas from a recent styled shoot at the bright and airy boutique Noelle Hotel in Nashville.

Up Close and Personal

By far the most rewarding aspect of hosting an intimate wedding is that you can be truly yourself, as you will be most comfortable amongst the special few whom you invited. With less people around, your guests will also feel more connected to you, as they witness this milestone in your lives and share in your emotions. As shown with our Harlin Chairs, create a seating area that allows everyone to see, hear and be a part of the intimate ceremony.

Elegant Place Settings

When it comes to planning a small wedding, you can still make a statement! Take the elegant table setting we created, which includes our Gold Austin Flatware, Glass Mosaic China, Glass Charger with Gold Rim, and White Round China. It absolutely POPs on the rich Blue Velvet Linens! We were also careful in our choice of Cybil Glassware which, while slightly more whimsical, still fits into the overall aesthetic.

Make the Most of Your Venue

Often times, couples who host an intimate wedding will utilize the same space for both their ceremony and reception. This will save you the effort and cost of a secondary event space, and allow you to make the most of the venue you truly love. Take this into consideration when researching potential venues, as a large enough area can accommodate both the weddings ceremony seating and dinner tables. If everything can be set up from the get-go, there will be less hustle and bustle to rearrange furniture when it comes time to eat.

Splurge on Special Touches

One benefit of opting for a smaller-scale affair is that you will have the budget to splurge on items or elements that you love, like our comfy and downright beautiful Tabby Tufted Grey Linen Loveseat. These special touches can be an item that sparks joy for you or is simply more convenient. Take the opportunity to treat yourself and your loved ones to a special space.

Kalee and Aaron were married in the beautiful outdoor garden at CJ’s Off the Square with gold and rose gold details. For their reception, a mixed seating plan allowed for multiple coordinating tablescapes to be used creating a chic look for any fall couple.

Our Fruitwood Farm Tables were set with Fruitwood Chiavari Chairs, Belmont Chargers, and our Gold Metal Spheres. Round Tables were topped with Champagne Dupioni Linens, Gold Round Laquer Charger Plates, and featured our Gold Metal Intersect Cube as the centerpiece. Each guest’s setting was completed with Gold Austin Flatware and a Copper Moscow Mule as the guest favor. The sweet newlyweds sat together on our Tessa Tufted Loveseat as they dined off of Gold Hamlet China and toasted their marriage with our Gatsby Champagne Coupe.

Such a chic and uniquely designed wedding for a gorgeous couple! Photos by the talented John Myer Photography.
