Tucked into the charming countryside of Franklin, Tennessee, The Rutledge set the perfect stage for a wedding infused with vintage romance and timeless elegance. The venue’s rustic architecture and warm wood tones were the ideal backdrop for a celebration that felt both intimate and artfully styled. From the soft candlelight that danced across antique-inspired tablescapes to the soulful string quartet playing classic love songs, every detail whispered nostalgia. The bride’s lace gown and heirloom accessories completed the throwback charm, creating a day that felt like stepping into a sepia-toned love story.
Adding to the magic were the striking bridal party ensembles that brought a bold pop of color to the vintage palette. Bridesmaids glowed in shades of burnt orange—each dress uniquely styled yet perfectly coordinated—offering a rich contrast to the romantic scenery. Meanwhile, the groom and groomsmen turned heads in deep green suits that added a modern twist to the retro aesthetic. Together, the colors created a lush, autumnal warmth that mirrored the golden Tennessee sunset, capturing hearts and cameras alike. It was a day full of style, soul, and unforgettable moments.
