Fun Neon Nashville Wedding: Megan + Jesse

Neon Nashville Wedding

If you thought you’d seen all there was to see when it comes to weddings, we bet today’s amazing neon Nashville nuptials will make you realize that you haven’t! Because Megan + Jesse’s wedding was so full of fun, eclectic elements we’re almost at a loss for words to describe it! It seems like the best thing to do in this situation is let Ariel Renae‘s gorgeous photos do the talking, but before we hear a few more details from Megan + dive into the full (amazing) feature, we have six words we just have get out: neon veil and tutu wedding dress!!!

From the bride, We wanted the vibe and the look to be this awesome mix of country, neon-signage-slightly-tacky Miami, rustic, and flamingos. (Jesse loves flamingos.) We really sat down together and fleshed out all the little details — we enjoyed doing that to make it truly represent the two of us. We hand wrote the Garbage Pail Kid and WWF-themed place cards for each table setting even!

Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding

One was walking away back down the after we’d said our I do’s to Jesse’s great family friend who’s a brilliant musician, Jamie Hannah shredding the Top Gun theme song on his electric guitar. We get pangs and chills just thinking about how searingly cool it sounded!
