Table setup with burlap linens and succulent centerpiece with framed fish art for nautical themed rehearsal dinner

A Nautical Rehearsal Dinner

Samantha and Jay's nautical rehearsal dinner at The Bridge Building was full of food and fun with an awesome after party on the rooftop patio!

The couple decided on a nautical theme for their pre-wedding night to celebrate the big day ahead with their wedding party, friends, and family—all planned by H Three Events. Sweet succulents from Branches Event Design and Florals sat atop burlap linens from Curated Events for a beautifully rustic yet modern feel. Nautical napkins by You're Invited were foil printed with a custom monogram to keep with the theme. Guests signed an anchor in lieu of a traditional guestbook for added fun.

During cocktail hour, guests grabbed a drink at the bar and some of our candied bacon. After mingling on The Bridge Building’s riverfront patio, guests took their seats inside for a plated dinner. They were served chicken saltimbocca with sun-dried tomato creamed spinach and rosemary roasted new potatoes.

After dinner, the rooftop patio opened for guests to continue celebrating the nearly-newlyweds with a stunning view of downtown Nashville! Passed hors d'oeuvres included brisket tacos, hot chicken sliders, and fried pimento mac and cheese.

It was a great time for all on a beautiful May evening. The Nashville skyline set the scene perfectly for the festivities yet to come for this sweet couple.
