Part 2: Vintage Wedding in my Potential Venue!
June 10th, 2010 by Allison
Ok here is part two of the amazing wedding. Again, this is the venue I am planning to use so it is great to see that someone has actually done a fantastic wedding here!
Just so that everyone doesn’t think I am crazy for being majorly indecisive on this space :), here is the update. I am taking the moms to see the place on Sunday. At this point, unless they point out any insanely major issues, I am going to book it. I do have a few cons keeping me from instant love, the first being the homemade food. I actually have no doubt in my mind that it will turn out to be 100% incredible, but it is the stress of getting to that point that is really killing me. It is obviously just a lot of work.
The other major concern is that the space is just not a wedding set-up. In a way I actually really like that because I hate a lot of cookie cutter wedding venues, but at the same time it takes lots more creativity and pulling in different elements to ensure the space is how it is supposed to be. I am definitely very excited to work with the non-traditional aspect, but in times of wedding inspiration-block, I am nervous that I won’t know where to put anything! Oh my. That probably won’t be the case, but I guess it is worth freaking out about.
SOOO CUTE on the food right! Love the way they did this.
OMG! I am sooo doing milk like this..I am in love :)
One thing I love about this space is the very versatile photography spots! There are so many different places which are all totally different styles. I think that will make for some great diversity!
This is the outside of the building. Not something we would be seeing from the seating in the reception.
OK all, I could REALLY use the help and feedback! What are your thoughts? Cute, not cute, keep looking, do something in particular?? I can’t believe I might actually have a full venue booked in the next week. YAY

we are doing milk and cookies to go along with our cupcakes just like this! My fiance loves milk, and weddings never have it so we are throwing it in there with ice cold milk shooters and warm cookies : )

It looks amazing! You are so creative, I’m sure you’ll think of tons of ideas to make the space yours and you’ll work out the food details. Book it! :)

I’m getting married in an old townhouse turned restaurant in Nashville. I say go for it!!! This is gorgeous and while it may be a little more work than other options, you’ll remember it that much more! Book it with confidence! :)

thanks. That is what I really need is the confidence that it will work out! I think I am pretty much there, but maybe I will gain a bit more when i go back to see it on Sunday.
Thanks :)

This venue has everything you have been looking for Ali.
It’s unique, rustic, and a total blank canvas.
Through those photos, you get the feeling of a secret garden, a place secluded where you will be able to relax and enjoy the amazing decor you have created.
I definitely see lots of candles and torches for lights. Even so fairylights.
DIYing your whole wedding is a big big scare. Doing it myself and I am freaking out too but we both know you can pull it off and that you want to do it so I am with Kate from Magnolia Rouge here: JUST BOOK IT!
