Weddings | January 30, 2025

Spring weddings in Nashville, TN, are a popular choice due to the mild weather, vibrant natural scenery, and the variety of venues available to suit different aesthetics. The season offers pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor events. A “spunky” theme is all about embracing bold designs, lively elements that reflect personality and energy. By focusing on vibrant colors, unique design elements, or personable details, creating an experience that feels authentic and engaging for both themselves and their guests. Sophia and Mason’s day is a perfect example of this. Sophia is a freelance florist and used her love of unique and colorful florals in both her ceremony and reception. With their design, Mason made a custom wedding logo based on their last name featured on the stationary to the dinner napkins. Incorporating unexpected elements, like creative signage, personable favors/details, or interactive entertainment, ensures that the event stands out and leaves a lasting impression. The couple capitalized on this my using an arrangement of fruit, unique pastel textured candles and colorful florals which give a bright and festive aesthetic. Selecting the right venue, vendors, and planner is critical to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable event. The venue sets the tone and provides the foundation for your vision. Working with experienced vendors who understand your vision—like caterers, florists, and photographers—can make all the details come together seamlessly. A professional planner can help manage logistics, timelines, and coordination, freeing you to focus on the overall experience. These choices directly impact how comfortable and enjoyable the event is for both you and your guests.

Creating a Spunky but Personal Wedding Theme Using Non-Wedding Inspiration

When planning a wedding, the best ideas often come from looking beyond traditional wedding trends. Drawing inspiration from art, interior design, and the details of everyday life can help you design a wedding that feels personal and memorable. Here’s how to take non-wedding-related inspiration and turn it into a cohesive theme:

1. Use Art to Influence Color and Style

Art is a great starting point for unique ideas. Look to your favorite paintings, sculptures, or even street art for color palettes, patterns, and textures. For example, abstract art can inspire bold, vibrant tones, while classic artwork might encourage soft, muted hues and elegant details. Use these elements in table settings, signage, or even attire to connect your theme.

2. Draw from Interior Design Trends

Interior design offers ideas for combining colors, textures, and materials in creative ways. Browse design blogs, magazines, or local showrooms to find inspiration for lighting, furniture layouts, or centerpiece arrangements.

3. Find Inspiration in Everyday Life

Inspiration can also come from your hobbies, favorite places, nature or even your daily life.
