Alan and Adrien were married at Ocean Way Studios on beautiful Music Row in Nashville on June 5th. If you are too busy to get around to reading about Ocean Way Studios, I took the liberty of lifting some info from their site…
Belmont’s Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios, founded in 1996, is located in the heart of Nashville’s Music Row. Considered one of the world’s finest recording facilities, it’s client roster reads like a who’s who of the music world spanning a range of styles from pop to classical.
Housed in a 100 year old Gothic revival greystone church, Ocean Way Nashville provides an exceptional acoustical space tuned specifically for music recording and offers one of very few such spaces in the region.
It was a gorgeous day for a wedding and the studio was a unique and somewhat eclectic venue for a couple who works in the industry. This venue is just beautiful with it’s rich wood floors, high ceilings, and of course recording features thoughout.
Alan and Adrien both love wine and that was apparent throughout the venue. Colored wine bottles became clever and simple centerpieces with a single flower in each. Different sizes and shapes made this very appealing to the eye. The greens of the bottles were set off by votive holders in deep purple with flameless candles inside…a wonderful idea for venues that do not allow open flames. It’s just a much safer option for any venue. This said by a girl who caught her hair on fire as a child and has never forgotten how quickly a beautiful candle can become dangerous.
Alan and Adrien had chosen their favorite wines to be served for the evening and Alan chose a groom’s cake featuring a gumpaste wine bottle and grape clusters in a crate with a custom label. The groom’s cake was a delicious caramel cake that I’m told was inhaled with not even a crumb left.
The bridal cake was based on a design that the bride had seen in a magazine, fondant covered squares with horizontal stripes. The cake was covered with fondant ivory and accented with stripes of Persian Violet. I made fantasy magnolias in ivory and Violet to mimic the one large blossom on the bride’s exquisite gown. The bridal cake was Sour Cream Almond with Vanilla Buttercream and fondant. The middle tier was an extra tall tier to add another dimension to the cake.
Adrien and Alan, may your life together be simply stunning, just as was portrayed throughout your reception!
