The Day Before… The Important Rehearsal Dinner
Posted by | Posted in Bridal Fashion Advice | Posted on 12-11-2010
Yes, it’s true… another venue checked off for the wedding weekend! In order to get my fiance involved in the wedding planning that he was so desperately seeking {yes, he REALLY does want to help as much as I will let him} I gave him the task of researching rehearsal dinner venues in and around Nashville.
After some initial strategizing, we made sure each of our choices would have most everything we were looking for: a private room away from the hustle and bustle so we could have special time with our closest friends and family, an outdoor space perfect for socializing and hosting a pre-dinner cocktail hour, southern flair to complement the theme of our wedding, audio/visual capabilities for a possible slideshow and/or video, and of course–to die for food!
Now before moving on, I must admit–I was beyond amazed at how well he did–within two days of my “assignment”, the fabulous fiancée had contacted 10+ venues/spaces/restaurants we had combined on a list and had scheduled a time for us to check out and sample the food at his#1 choice…Mère Bulles in Brentwood.

With the look and feel of an old southern plantation home, this venue has it all… a location close to the church, an outdoor patio complete with lights for nighttime fun, an endless assortment of food for our wonderful guests, and an on-site planner to handle all of the details for us. They were even more helpful when it came to selecting a customized menu, centerpiece arragements, and decor to top the night off perfectly!
Needless to say, the boy did an amazing job and because of this–he will most certainly be assigned other wedding-related tasks throughout this lengthy process! So to all EAD readers, are there fun and creative elements you’ve seen at a rehearal dinner I should try to incorporate?? Loving any and all advice from all of you!
