Our 2023’s Bridal Fashion is nothing short of breathtaking. From intricate beadwork and lace to shaped silhouettes and necklines, there is something for every bride-to-be. Distinctively Southern Wedding had the pleasure of partnering with Adorn Bridal and The White Magnolia to present exquisite, elegant and opulent gowns, while Nashville’s timeless icon, The Hermitage Hotel, served as the backdrop… And what a stunning back drop it was!
