This month, we are so excited to present our January 2025 Vows That Wow and highlight Andrea & Justin’s beautiful wedding day.

A Special Day To Celebrate Love

Andrea and Justin’s wedding at the historic Riverwood Mansion in Nashville was nothing short of unforgettable. With a sunny day and 155 of their closest friends and family, the celebration was brimming with heartfelt moments and plenty of surprises. The ceremony was deeply personal, featuring handwritten vows exchanged beneath the mansion’s lush gardens. “We worked with several amazing vendors that brought our vision to life,” Andrea shared. Their vision included blending tradition with flair— an approach that set the tone for the entire day.

Surprises & Sparkle On The Dance Floor

The reception truly came alive with Andrea’s eye for fun and fashion. Known as a glam bride, she wowed guests with three outfit changes, keeping everyone on their toes throughout the evening. But the standout moment? A surprise flash mob to Shania Twain! Andrea and her bridesmaids had learned a choreographed dance ahead of time and stunned everyone on the dance floor, including Justin. “I wanted to incorporate a little bit of Nashville since everyone was visiting from out of town,” Andrea explained. The high-energy performance, paired with their choreographed first dance to Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight,” made for an electric evening. And as if their flawless first dance wasn’t enough, sparklers shot off at the end, leaving their guests cheering.

Elegance & Espresso

Guests enjoyed espresso martinis poured down a custom ice luge in the shape of a guitar, a playful nod to Nashville’s music scene. Antique furniture scattered throughout the garden, glowing floor lamps, and twinkling string lights added a romantic, vintage ambiance that perfectly complemented the mansion’s historic charm. As a sweet homage to Andrea’s Greek heritage, her mom and aunts baked traditional Greek cookies for the dessert table, offering a warm, personal touch.

Vendors That Made The Magic Happen

Andrea emphasized that building strong relationships and maintaining open communication with vendors was one of the most valuable lessons she learned during wedding planning. With exceptional catering by Dream Events & Catering, chic reception furniture, Kara Warren Photography capturing every unforgettable detail, and everything in between, Andrea and Justin’s incredible vendor team worked together to create a seamless, stress-free celebration!

From their glamorous style to the thoughtful details, Andrea and Justin’s wedding was a celebration of love, personality, and unforgettable moments. It was, as Andrea described, “an exquisite wedding, and we’ll cherish these memories for a lifetime.”
