A Romantic Nashville Summer Elopement at Long Hunter State Park

Hilary and Taylor traveled down from Ohio for a romantic Nashville Summer Elopement elopement at Long Hunter State Park while fulfilling their dream of visiting Nashville. Won’t their friends and family be surprised when they return home as Mr. and Mrs. Maheu!

Hilary Gets Glam

The day began with the skilled stylists at One10 Beauty House meticulously attending to the bride. From hairstyling to expertly applied makeup. She looked absolutely stunning! Once hair and makeup was complete Hilary slipped into her beautiful bridal gown. The dress floated delicately as she walked. With the delicate beaded bodice and straps she absolutely looked like a princess.

Taylor Suits Up

While Hilary was getting gorgeous for her groom, Taylor was fully embracing his Nashville vibe. Soaking in the city’s famous music scene and southern charm. His love for the city is clearly reflected in his smile and sense of style.

The Wedding Rings

A perfect pair, just like Hilary and Taylor, their wedding rings were the perfect reflection of their personalities. He’s a little bit country. She’s a little bit rock n’ roll. With wedding rings mirroring the harmonious blend of their lives, together, they encapsulate the eclectic vibe of Nashville perfectly. A city known for its rich musical heritage that embraces both genres. Their rings, therefore, were not just symbols of their love, but also a testament to their individual styles coming together in a beautiful, harmonious union.

The Wedding Ceremony

Hilary and Taylor’s wedding ceremony was a true reflection of their love story. One that was unique and special just like them. It was beautifully written and performed by Raina, from Weddings & Events by Raina, who the couple were delighted to have found. As huge fans of the TV show “Nashville”, Hilary and Taylor couldn’t help but smile when they discovered that their wedding planner/officiant shared the same name as one of their favorite characters. And while this Raina liked to playfully claim that Rayna James misspelled her name, she was more than happy to play along.

The Vows

During their intimate elopement, the Hilary and Taylor exchanged heartfelt, personalized wedding vows. With tears in their eyes, they promised to stand by each other through all of life’s ups and downs, to always communicate openly and honestly, and to love each other unconditionally. Their vows spoke of a deep love and commitment that was evident in every word they spoke. As they sealed their promises with a kiss, it was clear that this couple’s love would only continue to grow stronger throughout their journey together.

The Beautiful Blooms

Bloom’s stunning horizontal cascade bouquet was the perfect choice for their bride, combining elegance and texture in one remarkable arrangement. Featuring a gorgeous blend of purple alstroemeria, delicate peach roses, deep pink stock, rice flower and wax flower, this bouquet captured an array of beautiful colors. The addition of various eucalyptus added depth to the design and brought a touch of nature to the overall look. This breathtaking bouquet truly reflected Bloom’s expertise in creating unique and captivating floral arrangements for special occasions.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry!

After their romantic elopement at Long Hunter State Park, Hilary and Taylor decided to head to Hattie B’s for dinner. Being avid fans of the Food Network, they had seen the restaurant featured a few times and knew they just had to try their famous hot chicken. As they sat down at a cozy table, holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes, they couldn’t help but feel grateful for this special moment together. And as they took their first bite of the crispy, flavorful hot chicken, they knew it was worth every bit of hype that it had received on TV. It was the perfect end to a perfect day for the newly eloped couple.
