 A Serendipitous Beginning

Sarah and Mike first met at Vanderbilt University during their undergrad years, sparking a connection that would carry them from their college days in Nashville to a stunning celebration of their love. The proposal brought them back to their roots at Vanderbilt, where Mike surprised Sarah with a heartfelt engagement on campus, flying in their families for the occasion, a perfect nod to where their journey began.

 

 

 A Dream Setting

Set on 500 acres of scenic landscape, The Mansion at Natirar provided a breathtaking setting for both their ceremony and reception. With its stately architecture, grand ballroom, and panoramic views of the countryside, the venue offered a timeless charm that perfectly complemented the couple’s aesthetic. 

 

 A Floral Dream

Sarah and Mike’s floral design, created by Denise Fasanello, was a vision of pink hues that beautifully balanced elegance and fun. From lush pink peonies to delicate ivory roses, every arrangement brought the couple’s spring-inspired aesthetic to life. 

The floral designs were carried through from the outdoor ceremony, where soft petals lined the aisle, to the reception’s chic tablescapes, where blooms were paired with understated greenery for a clean and modern look.

Custom Gowns & Sleek Suits

Sarah looked breathtaking in her custom Mira Zwillinger gown, a delicate masterpiece of lace and intricate beading that shimmered in the natural light.

For the after-party, she changed into a custom mini dress adorned with sparkly beading, perfect for dancing the night away. Mike kept his look classic with a sleek tux from Knot Standard, adding a timeless touch to the day’s style.

The ceremony took place in the mansion’s lush outdoor space, with soft sunlight filtering through towering trees. The reception inside the mansion’s ballroom featured elegant details with romantic candlelight and blush accents, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere for their guests to dance the night away.

 

 

 A Culinary Experience

Known for its culinary excellence, The Mansion at Natirar didn’t disappoint. Cocktail hour featured a variety of stations, including a Southern table and a sushi station, alongside passed appetizers that were a hit with guests.

 

The reception continued the culinary journey with gourmet dishes crafted by the mansion’s team, incorporating ingredients sourced from the estate’s nearby restaurant, 90 Acres. 

The cake, from The Mansion at Natirar, was a mix of chocolate and vanilla with smooth vanilla buttercream, was a sweet finale to the evening’s feast.

 A Country Twist

As a nod to their Nashville roots, Sarah and Mike incorporated their love of country music into their wedding day. 45 Riots, their DJ, kept the energy high with a mix of classic hits, country tunes, and party anthems that had guests filling the dance floor from the first song to the last. Their love for country music added a personal touch to the celebration, blending their shared history with their vibrant wedding day.

 

 A Honeymoon to Remember

After their unforgettable day, Sarah and Mike embarked on the honeymoon of a lifetime in Tanzania, planned by ROANE Travel. Their journey included stays at luxurious lodges and resorts like Gibbs Farm, Four Seasons Serengeti, TAASA Lodge, and Zuri Zanzibar.

From exciting adventures to serene beach days, their honeymoon was the perfect way to begin their new chapter together.

 Advice for Future Couples

Sarah’s advice for couples planning their wedding? “Pick the areas you want to invest in, and then the other vendors and details can be de-prioritized from a budget perspective.” This smart approach allowed them to focus on what mattered most to them which created a beautiful, memorable experience for themselves and their guests.
