Nestled in the heart of Germantown, THE SLOANE is Nashville’s newest wedding venue, where modern elegance meets timeless, French-inspired charm. Captured beautifully by KIMBERLY KIMBLE, this editorial was a celebration of bold romance and contemporary sophistication. Designed by KELSEY RAE DESIGNS, the vision redefined traditional wedding palettes with striking golden hues, proving that vibrant colors can be both daring and refined.
Shades of marigold and butter yellow wove seamlessly into the venue’s European-influenced aesthetic, creating a design that felt effortlessly modern yet timeless. With its grand windows, sleek architecture, and intricate detailing, THE SLOANE provided the perfect canvas for this vision. The venue’s neutral palette and clean lines allowed each carefully curated element to shine, proving that bold choices can enhance rather than overpower a space’s innate beauty. Layers of warm, sun-drenched hues—from delicate pastels to rich golden tones—brought a sense of joy and sophistication, inspiring couples to embrace color with confidence.

The custom wedding stationery embraced the theme through hand-drawn floral illustrations, a delicate envelope liner, and silk floral ribbon.
A Visual Journey from Day to Night
To highlight THE SLOANE’S versatility, the editorial unfolded as a journey from day to night. In the soft glow of afternoon light, the space radiated warmth, allowing golden hues to shine in a sunlit, airy setting. As evening fell, flickering candlelight transformed the atmosphere into an intimate, moody affair. The result was a visual narrative showcasing how a wedding at The Sloane can seamlessly transition from a bright, romantic celebration to an elegant, candlelit experience—offering couples a venue that beautifully adapts to their vision.
Lush Florals & Thoughtful Design Details
Every element of the editorial was thoughtfully curated to bring this concept to life. LILLIAN’S FLORAL DESIGN created lush, cascading arrangements in buttery yellows and fresh greens, evoking the effortless beauty of a European countryside. The tablescape, adorned with REVERIE SOCIAL’S layered linens and WESTERA RENTALS’ refined tabletop selections, struck the perfect balance between modern minimalism and classic grandeur. The cake, a sculptural masterpiece by SUSIE CAKES BAKERY, echoed the clean, contemporary lines of the venue, while WHITE INK CALLIGRAPHY’S hand-scripted stationery added an intimate, bespoke touch.
Effortless Sophistication in Fashion & Beauty
The fashion and beauty choices further enhanced the editorial’s refined aesthetic. The bride, dressed in a romantic yet contemporary gown from BLOOM NASHVILLE embodied effortless sophistication. Her soft, luminous beauty look, created by CARSON JARRETT, felt fresh and timeless, complementing the golden hues woven throughout the design. Meanwhile, J. JACKSON MOBILE MIXOLOGIST introduced an interactive bar element, offering couples a chic and engaging way to elevate their wedding experience.
