Kristen and Jacoby’s love story began during their college years at The University of Alabama. The two first crossed paths their freshman year when they were paired for a date party, and their connection quickly blossomed into a relationship by sophomore year. When it came time to pop the question, Jacoby proposed during a romantic weekend getaway from Seattle to Victoria, B.C., where Kristen’s family later surprised her by joining the couple to celebrate the special occasion.
The wedding was a sophisticated affair held at Conrad Nashville, featuring a breathtaking rooftop ceremony and an elegant ballroom reception. Their stationery suite, created by You’re Invited Nashville, included a classic white and gold design with a custom crest and a floral envelope liner, setting the tone for the understated elegance to come. Jayne Bubis Events curated a stunning rooftop ceremony with white padded Chiavari chairs, a pristine white aisle runner, and striking floral arrangements by Enchanted Florist. The soft pink, orange, and white blooms adorned the aisle entrance with two floral pillars and a matching arch that served as the altar backdrop.
The reception carried the same floral elegance of the ceremony into the ballroom, highlighted by the floral arch extending across a grand estate table at the center of the space. Surrounding round tables, crystal chandeliers, and gold accents—including luxe chairs and gold accent tables in the lounge area—brought a cohesive and opulent atmosphere to life. Their custom crest reappeared on the custom green bar, complemented by green patterned linens on cocktail tables, tying the design together seamlessly. Rentals were provided by Please Be Seated, and Dessert Designs created a stunning five-tier all-white wedding cake adorned with intricate 3D florals.
Kristen’s bridal style was equally unforgettable. She wore a breathtaking Olia Zavozina gown with modern lace Manolo Blahnik heels. For the ceremony, her dress featured an overskirt for a traditional, full silhouette, which she later removed to reveal a sleek, fitted look for the reception. Jacoby and his groomsmen looked dashing in classic black tuxedos from The Black Tux, with Jacoby switching into a sharp white tuxedo jacket for the evening, paired with Christian Louboutin shoes. Bridesmaids complemented the elegance in matte champagne dresses from Amsale via Bella Bridesmaids.
The reception was a lively celebration, featuring a family dance with the couple and their parents and a Nashville-inspired hot chicken snack. Bizz and Everyday People kept the dance floor energized well into the evening. Every moment was expertly captured by Heather Durham Photography and beautifully documented on film by White Heart. The day was a flawless blend of love, style, and celebration, leaving an unforgettable impression on all who attended.
