Classic Elegance in Bloom | October 12
A Classic and Elegant Garden Wedding for Brooke & Riley at CJ’s Off the Square
An Elegant Garden Setting in Franklin, TN
Nestled in the heart of Franklin, Tennessee, CJ’s Off the Square served as the perfect backdrop for Brooke and Riley’s wedding day. Their celebration blended classic elegance with vintage charm. A soft, romantic palette of white, ivory, cream, champagne, and gold set the tone. From the moment guests entered the garden, it was clear: every detail reflected the couple’s style and love story.
“Every corner radiates southern charm and elegance, creating a magical atmosphere that felt straight out of a storybook.”
Brooke’s bridal look matched the venue’s romantic feel. She wore a gown by Watters from Rebecca’s Wedding Boutique. Her bridesmaids wore soft-toned dresses from Petal and Pup and Nordstrom. Riley and his groomsmen looked sharp in tuxedos from Street Tuxedo and Max Fine Italian Clothing.
Floral Design and Personal Touches
The floral arrangements were breathtaking. The design featured white O’Hara roses, blush quicksand roses, taupe Moab roses, white freesia, white majolica spray roses, and blush butterfly ranunculus. Cascading phalaenopsis orchids, garden ivy, and delicate foliage added movement and texture. Soft shades of blush, ivory, and white enhanced the elegant ambiance and brought the garden to life.
Brooke, a graphic designer, added many personal touches. She created and assembled her own invitation suite. On the wedding day, personalized details filled the space. A mirrored welcome sign, mirrored seating chart, wax-sealed menus, and framed family photos were just the beginning. A mirrored sign marked a special ceremony seat. Flip flops and light-up foam wands made the dance floor fun and guest-friendly. A cigar bar, complete with curated matchbooks, added a unique flair. A signature bar sign tied the theme together beautifully.
Planning with Heart
“Sidney is an absolute delight to work with—warm, kind, and incredibly organized. She made us feel like we had a friend with our best interests at heart.”
Planner Sidney Young guided Brooke and Riley through every step. Her calm, thoughtful approach helped bring their vision to life. On the wedding day, her support allowed them to relax and enjoy the moment.
“CJ’s Off the Square is truly a hidden gem in the charming town of Franklin, TN.”
The couple exchanged vows under the October sunshine. Florals bloomed all around. The open-air pavilion glowed with twinkle lights as the sun set. Guests enjoyed cake from Baked in Nashville and music by Premier, The Entertainment Company. Laughter, dancing, and personal touches filled the night with joy.
This classic, elegant, and vintage-inspired garden wedding shows what happens when a couple’s vision pairs perfectly with a venue that understands their style.
