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!

Jeff Gloeb, Director of Sales and Catering, says, “Over a century, The Hermitage Hotel’s legendary service has set the stage for spectacular weddings and milestone celebrations. Whether hosting a black-tie gala in the timeless ballroom or reciting your vows in the Veranda, our venues are designed to inspire."

So, we cordially invite you to delve into our Bridal Look Book and not only notice the notable scenes of The Hermitage Hotel – the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Restrooms, Veranda and Lobby –but also the gorgeous gowns and accessories curated by the stylists of Adorn Bridal Shop and The White Magnolia Nashville.
