Gorgeous florals, bright pops of color from fruit, and beautiful vintage mismatched china brought summertime elegance to this inspired wedding at L&L Farm in Nashville. Designed by Deanna Burks, bright colors of summer fruits, and lush florals tied together with fun plates are all around. L&L Farm in Cedar Hill, TN just north of Nashville was the perfect venue! It’s a Nashville barn venue that offers a quaint getting ready cottage and lovely barn for weddings.
The tablescapes ranged from vintage plates to modern black tableware. Pops of lemons and bright floral arrangements and greenery were abound. Deanna Burks, a wedding and event designer based out of Hendersonville, TN, brought her vision to life with these fun pops of color. She brought so much color to the barn, I can only imagine what a wedding at L&L Farm would look like! One summery beach themed table was full of starfish. Another vibrant tablescape featuring a navy tablerunner and lemons had the most elegant French inspired blue plates!
Then, to top off the day full of bright, colorful summertime inspiration, she created a fruit, floral, and dessert table. Donning a variety of gorgeous pie stands, she covered the table with cherries, pomegranate, and lemons for added color. Then surrounded it with florals for an incredible table of fruit (and some chocolate!).
L&L Farm Venue in Nashville was a perfect setting for this color-packed summer inspiration styled shoot!
