Believe it or not, we have already seen quite a few Brides planning their fall 2012 Wedding. With respect to that, we thought it was appropriate to share one of our favorite fall weddings at Legacy Farms, Karen McNamara and Brad Frye with photography  by Scoobie’s Photographic Images.

 The covered pavillion in the courtyard is such a great spot for an outdoor ceremony. There are so many ways to customize this space as well! We have seen it transformed with such things as hanging lanterns from the rafters or stained glass window panels hung on the sides of the pavillion to combine the feel of a traditional church wedding with the great outdoors.

Karen and Brad’s Reception took place in the event center at Legacy Farms complete with dinner from A Catered Affair, dancing to tunes from JD’s Music, and cake from The Bake Shoppe.

The “See Rock City”  sign on the property is one of our many favorite photo spots on the property. It provides such a unique backdrop for bridal party shots!

We’d like to offer a big Congrats  and Thank You to newlyweds Karen and Brad for allowing us to be a part of their special day and share it with others! Hope their special day could be an inspiration to all those planning a fall 2012 wedding!

To see more photos from Karen and Brad’s wedding, check out their feature in this year’s The Pink Bride Nashville magazine. For info on Legacy farms please contact us via phone at 615-321-2394 or email at Kellie@maineventpro.com

This year we’ve noticed that the “natural” cake designs have been very popular. We love the organic look and feel of this cake trend! These types of cakes would be perfect in an eco-friendly or even vintage inspired wedding. We’ve put together a few of our favorites from The Bake Shoppe…enjoy!

Classic Stucco Design- We just loved the Burlap Detail! And the flowers add such a feminine touch.

Fresh Berries and Shortcake – A uniquely light approach to the traditional wedding cake!

Vintage Rose Garden – Love that the bottom tier of cake is made to resemble a tree stump with the roses climbing up the top tiers!

Wood Grain – Awesome way to incorporate a monogram in a non-traditional way

Cupcakes- The use of pallets as display cases for cupcakes…genius!

Legacy Farms is often selected by clients based on its vintage charm and serene local, but there is so much more to this beautiful old manor than that! We’d like to take you on a historical  journey of how this magnificent property has been an anchor in the community through war and peace for over 150 years.

Dr. Newburn Jennings began construction on what we now call the manor house in 1832. These original 4 rooms were used as a hospital where he cared for sick and wounded Union soldiers during the Battle of Murfreesboro. War times called for food, money and medical supply shortages for many, but Legacy Farms was there to provide the food and extra money earned from crops and livestock to keep the hospital and subsequently the patients alive through this difficult time. The property was also housed an underground tunnel used by soldiers during attack and later on by slaves escaping to freedom on the underground railroad.

After war times, the needs of the property owners changed. With no more wounded soldiers to  care for, it would be much more useful as a family home.  Again, Legacy Farms met the needs of the owner providing ample land for livestock to graze and crops to be grown, lush ponds where people could escape the heat, and plenty of space to make additions to the manor for large families and guests.

Four additional bedrooms and all eight bathrooms were eventually added to the original manor through the generations of families that inherited the property as well as the staircase which was brought in from New York. The house was used as a social gathering place by many in the area and saw its fair share of laughter and dancing throughout the years. Neighbors would come from miles around to use the telephone or listen to The Grand Ole Opry on the radio because, at the time, Legacy Manor was the only place around that had such modern electronics. In effect, the owners of Legacy Farms were at one time, the only source of news for miles around.

  In the 1990′s the property, in need of a lot of TLC, was bought at auction by Jaqueline George who brought the manor back to life as a Bed and Breakfast called Cedarvine Manor, then resold again in 2010 to its current owners Jerry and Kellie Bryson.

With their roots firmly planted in the wedding industry, the Brysons transformed Legacy Farms into a gorgeous venue perfect for any party from 40 to 400! Boasting 22 acres of  quiet lush countryside including a historic manor turned B&B, a newly remodeled event center, log cabin, beautifully manicured courtyards perfect for an outdoor wedding, and a pier overlooking the serene water-scape.

Throughout the years many families have called Legacy Farms home and each one has restored or added their own touch creating the uniquely beautiful venue that you see today.

Add your special day to the long list of magical moments in Legacy Farms’  deep rooted history! Contact us today to come view this incredible property by phone at 615-321-2394 or by email at Kellie@maineventpro.com

This year the Royal Wedding brought lavish English tradition into the spotlight, sparring a new trend in wedding themes. We are always looking for inspiration at Main Event Productions, and thought we’d share a few ideas with couples who want a little something of the English tea sentiment at their reception.

A few chandeliers over the head table could really evoke the feeling of royalty.

This chandelier was actually made by one of our Legacy Farms couples. Julia and Justin Battles along with the help of family and friends spent two days attaching over 400 tea bags to the wire rings then stringing the tiered chandelier with pearls, moss, and vintage inspired flowers. With all of the love and time invested into this project, they decided to donate THIS chandelier to Legacy Farms for other brides to use!

We especially love the cupcake stands made out of vintage china! Fill the tea cups/bowls with candy coated almonds or flowers and line the plates with cupcakes, scones, or tea cakes. The only thing that could make these more gorgeous are some lovely treats from The Bake Shoppe! Call us today at 615-321-2394 or contact Kellie Bryson at Kellie@maineventpro.com to see how we can help with all your wedding needs!
