What better way to beat this Nashville heat than by looking back at these wonderful winter-y photos from Kelsi and Brent’s beautiful wedding at CJ’s off the Square.
“Despite the winter weather, this intimate morning wedding went off without a hitch! Kelsi and Brent were so sweet and excited to be marrying each other, they didn’t even mind the temperature. The light snowfall was soft and romantic, and Kelsi made for a stunning bride.” -Lindsey Dudgeon, Associate Planner at CJ’s off the Square

“If you have many guests traveling from near and far for your wedding, it’s a wonderful touch to give them a welcome bag or basket upon their arrival! These serve as a sweet “thank you” for coming and also ensure that your guests are comfortable while away from home.” ~Nashville Wedding Planner, Kristin Kaplan of Simply Stunning Events Nashville
So, what are some good things to include in your welcome bags for guests? Below, we have a few ideas from Kristin and Nashville wedding designer Amber Housley:
Kristin suggests starting with the basics…
- Two small bottles of water
- Some small sodas
- Snacks (include something sweet and something salty)
- Individual packets of Advil or Tylenol
- A guidebook of things to do and places to eat in Nashville
- A note thanking your guests for coming
“….and to create a welcome gift bag with some Nashville flair, try including some Nashville postcards, Loveless jams, Moon Pies, Yazoo beer, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, Lynchburg cakes and candy, or Goo-goo clusters.” ~Kristin
Here is what Amber suggested to Southern Weddings to add some Nashville flavor:
And for cute Nashville tote bags, Amber created this overlay (Download the PDF here):
“Another idea is to create a welcome bag that shows off what makes you unique as a couple! You can include some items that allow guests to learn a little more about you such as items native to your hometowns or the city where you met, a favorite movie to watch in the hotel room, your favorite snacks and drinks, or create a booklet that tells the story of how you met since not everyone attending may truly know the details. Symbolic items with attached notes are always fun too. For example, a couple that met in the “Big Apple” might include a green apple in their bag.” ~Kristin
