There’s something magical about being part of a venue’s very first event, and that’s exactly how we felt walking into The Sloane for the first time. This brand new wedding venue, nestled in the heart of historic Germantown just 5 minutes from Nashville, is bright and modern. With its tall vaulted ceilings and light-filled spaces, it provided the perfect blank canvas to bring this vibrant, colorful editorial to life. We were honored to be one of the first vendors inside this new venue for a photoshoot, and even more thrilled to create the wedding invitations and paper goods in collaboration with one of our longtime favorite planners, Kelsey Rae Designs, who brought the vision together in the most beautiful way.
Marigold Wedding Invitations That Pop
Let’s talk color! Because when a marigold envelope arrives in your mailbox, it’s not going unnoticed! Color is one of our favorite ways to elevate a paper suite, and for this shoot, a rich marigold hue was the star. We used a yellow envelope with a striped liner featuring a floral design of a marigold to set the tone. We then carried that motif to the save the dates and information cards. This bright and cheerful invitation suit is definitely one that guests will remember, perfectly setting the tone and vibe of the wedding day.
Layering Texture and Tone
At the venue, stunning, yellow floral displays were set up in the ceremony space. The bride carried her own bouquet of light and darker yellow flowers. Then for the reception, white and yellow arrangements sat in low vases at the center of the table, bringing a cohesiveness that tied everything together.
While the bold yellow made a statement, we also wanted to balance the palette with softer, grounded details. On the reception tables, peach-toned menus rested atop marigold napkins, adding warmth and elegance. Our dark green place cards featured crisp white calligraphy for contrast and depth. It was a small detail, but one that elevated each place setting and pulled the entire look together.
A Dreamy New Space in Nashville
If you’re a couple dreaming of a fresh, inviting, upscale venue, The Sloane is definitely one to have on your radar. Its clean architecture, gorgeous natural light, and flexible event spaces make it the perfect canvas for any wedding design. We loved seeing how the bright pops of yellow transformed the white ceremony backdrop and how every vendor worked together to bring this joyful concept to life. One thing is certain, creating wedding invitations that pop and set the tone for the wedding day ahead is not only our specialty, but our favorite thing to do!
