With Nashville now home for Connor and Benjamin, a western-inspired rehearsal dinner felt like the perfect way to begin their wedding weekend, but we wanted the design to feel sophisticated, layered and intentional rather than overly themed.

Warm wood, touches of leather, cane-back chairs and textural linens created a setting that felt a little more masculine while still being incredibly elegant. We kept the lighting low and moody, giving the dinner an intimate feel as guests gathered around the tables for a beautiful seated meal and the kind of speeches that had just about everyone in tears.

After dinner, even more guests joined for the welcome party, where we turned up the western influence with a hat bar, cocktails, fun music and elevated western attire. It was the perfect progression for the evening!

Italy is where they intimately said “I do”.
Alabama was where they celebrated with everyone they love.
My job was to bridge the two!
Inspired by their wedding in Lake Como, we brought a little bit of Italy home through bright citrus, layered patterns, an Italian inspired menu, signature, cocktails, and fresh gelato.
The goal was never to re-create their wedding day. It was to give their family and friends a celebration that felt connected them to the story they had already begun.
That’s my favorite kind of design, when every detail means something! 🍋

Most of my time isn’t spent styling pretty details. It’s spent making decisions, the ones no one notices individually, but everyone feels when they walk into a room.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choosing the linen that makes the florals stand out.
Adjusting a timeline so the day feels effortless.
Stepping back to make sure every design choice supports the same vision.
Helping my couples navigate hundreds of decisions with confidence instead of overwhelm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m Chelsea, the planner and designer behind Chelsea Kennedy Weddings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been planning weddings for over a decade, and I’ve learned that beautiful celebrations aren’t created by collecting beautiful things. They’re created through thoughtful planning, intentional design, and hundreds of purposeful decisions that all work together to tell one story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Outside of weddings, you’ll usually find me with my husband and our two boys, traveling whenever we can, or dreaming up the next design concept long before it exists on paper.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re new here, I’m so glad! I can’t wait to share not only the finished celebrations, but also the thinking behind them.

One of my favorite design principles is this:
Everything should coordinate. Nothing has to match.
For this reception, we intentionally layered three different linens throughout the room. Instead of repeating the exact same place setting on every table, we paired each linen with a coordinating napkin while keeping the butterfly place card consistent across the entire design. That single detail became the thread that tied everything together.

Spring weddings just hit different.
From the soft pinks to the fresh greens, every detail of this day felt like stepping into the prettiest spring garden party. Layered textures, romantic blooms, candlelight, and the dreamiest atmosphere made this celebration feel both timeless and full of life.

The sneak peeks from Emmeline and Ryder's romantic European garden inspired wedding have us speechless. Olive and grape greens, soft ivories, sculptural florals, and fresh fruit details brought this effortlessly elegant vision to life with a subtle nod to the Amalfi Coast, where Emmeline and Ryder got engaged.

The day before the “I do’s'', we served up a little competition! We had the honor of designing and planning the cutest pre-wedding pickleball tournament for AnnaLee & John David.
Custom paddles, matching dresses designed by the bride, coordinating shirts for the guys, and personalized hats were the finishing touch. Every detail was thought through and so much fun!
Not your average welcome event—and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
