The Happily Connected Wedding Showcase is not your typical wedding show! The Happily Connected Wedding showcase is a modern cocktail style fun alternative to the traditional large scale style wedding shows. Instead of rows of booths, amazing Nashville Area Vendors work together to create a unique wedding experience by setting up the venue like an actual wedding.

Happily Connected hosted our 2022 Wedding Showcase on April 24 at Rural Hill Farm. Rural Hill Farm is a wedding and event venue extending over 150 acres of a secluded family farm with an event center, on-site accommodations, free roaming wildlife, a two-acre stocked pond and nature trails just minutes outside of Nashville.

Their Event Center is available for you to book a Wedding, Birthday Party, Family Reunion, Corporate Event, Church Retreat, Graduation Party, etc. The Event Center has two pavilions with over 5500+ SF of covered space and includes a catering/food prep room, storage room with tables/chairs and restroom facility. There is also an additional 825 SF party pad/stage for your use. For weddings, the pavilion offers separate dressing rooms for the Bride and Groom which also include full bathrooms with showers.

Regardless of the style of your wedding, Rural Hill Farm is the perfect setting.

Four design teams made up of Amazing Nashville Area Vendors showcased their work by creating seven different tablescapes in our Design Gallery to give couples inspiration for their own wedding. The tablescape designs were Boho, Celestial, Classic/Traditional, Farmhouse, Glam, Modern Romantic, and Rustic. All rentals were provided by Everyday Fiestas! The showcase and models were captured beautifully by four Amazing Nashville Area photographers.

Everything was Absolutely Gorgeous! But don’t take our word for it, keep scrolling to see for yourself!

The Boho Tablescape

Shades of terracotta, champagne and touches of gold were the perfect backdrop for the gorgeous centerpiece designed by Mari owner of Flourishing Flowers by Mari for the Boho tablescape. Chelsea owner of Hy5 Designs designed the beautiful paper details. Love how the flowers on the cake created by Carrisa with The Baker’s Bakery complemented the centerpiece perfectly!

The gorgeous floral centerpiece and beautiful silver candelabras set the tone for the Classic Traditional themed tablescape designed by Mari with Flourishing Flowers by Mari.  Love how Chelsea with Hy 5 Designs incorporated flowers and colors from the centerpiece into the invitation suite. The acrylic invitation added a modern twist to the traditional wording. Pink and blue floral cupcakes created by The Baker’s Bakery were adorable and added a sweet touch!

The Moon Phase cake created by Carrisa with The Baker’s Bakery was the perfect accompaniment to the Celestial themed table created by Jessica and Cheyenne of Amani Na Uwazi.

Glam

The black and gold details with the pop of emerald green which adorned the Glam table designed by Chelsea of Hy5 Designs screamed elegance! The black acrylic name cards created by Hy5 Designs topped each place setting and were the perfect addition to this elegant design. The elegance was continued in the mini bundt cakes with green icing and gold flakes created by Carrisa with The Baker’s Bakery. The gold reef chargers, black dinner plates, clear plates with gold rim, gold rimmed champagne and wine glasses and other rentals were provided by Everyday Fiestas.

Modern Romantic

The invitation and other paper details designed by Kim with paperKuts studio set the tone for the  Modern Romantic Tablesape. From the bronze gold foil lined envelope and wax seal to the elegant bronze gold swirls and print everything in the invitation suite was absolutely gorgeous. The elegance was continued in the place settings, modern candelabra and other rentals provided by Everyday Fiestas. The mini desserts created by Carrisa of the Baker’s Bakery added a modern twist to the elegant details.
