On July 13th, 2024, the Rutherford’s celebrated their union at Little Tennessee Event Farm, embracing a refined palette of black, white, and dusty blue that elevated their special day with timeless sophistication. From the moment guests arrived to the final sparkler send-off, each detail was curated to reflect the couple’s elegant style and warm hospitality. Privacy was paramount, so while no couple portraits are shared here, the essence of their celebration shines through in every design choice, culinary delight, and interactive moment.

Sophisticated Reception Decor

The reception barn was transformed into a sleek, modern oasis. Tables were draped in luxurious black linens, creating a dramatic backdrop for crisp white napkins folded into perfect triangles and placed atop hammered gold chargers. Glassware sparkled under ambient lighting, and the floral design team crafted minimalist centerpieces featuring baby’s breath and white roses nestled in slender bud vases.
To add depth and warmth, trio pillar candles in gold stands were strategically placed among the vases, casting a soft glow and encouraging intimate conversation. The overall effect struck a balance between bold contrast and gentle romance, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.

Chic Seating Chart

Upon arrival, guests were guided by a chic seating display that combined form and function. Six tables were represented by sleek black cards, each featuring elegant white calligraphy listing attendees’ names. Surrounding the display, clusters of white blooms added a soft, organic touch to the minimalist board.

This clean and contemporary approach not only streamlined guest arrivals but also doubled as a stylish decor element, subtly reinforcing the event’s monochrome theme before even stepping foot inside.

Sweet Details & Signature Cake

Dessert was a memorable highlight: a two-tier cake enveloped in smooth white fondant dotted with tiny edible pearls. The top tier offered a cherry almond flavor, while the bottom surprised guests with a refreshing orange dreamsicle blend.

Complementing the cake, macaron favors in dusty blue boxes provided a sweet memento. Each guest received a personalized thank-you tag, tying back to the couples’ attention to detail and thoughtfulness.

Playful Entertainment

Between courses, the expansive lawn became a playground when an oversized chess set was unveiled. Guests of all ages challenged one another, creating lighthearted competition amidst laughter and sunlit greenery.

This interactive addition reflected the Rutherford’s’ desire to keep the atmosphere lively and engaging, ensuring that every moment felt personalized and entertaining.

Refined Bridal Suite Accents

Inside the farmhouse suite, the bridal party prepared surrounded by thoughtful decor touches. The bride’s gown, suspended before a light-filled window, showcased delicate lace details and a flowing skirt. Nearby, dusty blue bridesmaid dresses and bouquets of white and green foliage set a serene scene.
Accoutrements like hand-lettered hangers, personalized robe sets, and a curated fragrance station added layers of luxury to the getting-ready experience.

Elegant Table Settings

Tablescapes were polished to perfection with footed glass chargers, crystal stemware, and gold flatware. Each place was accented by a beautifully wrapped macaron favor, complete with a 'thank you' label that echoed the wedding’s elegant color story.

Soft votive candles in glass holders were interspersed with bud vases and scattered petals, creating a warm, flickering ambiance that invited guests to linger over conversation and celebration.
