Centerpieces help to set the mood of the room, and flowers naturally add a touch of romance. With the help of a florist you can get exquisite displays, filling the room with pure floral eye-candy. Or take the DIY approach and tackle the table decor yourself. Here are a few of our recent favorites from Riverwood weddings along with some tips to remember when planning the design of your centerpieces.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of couples opting out of traditional Saturday weddings. After all, there are only so many Saturdays in a year and they go pretty quickly at top dollar pricing. Although Saturday weddings are the popular option, there are many reasons to consider having a Friday or Sunday wedding.

Outlaw Roadshow - and other special guests at the mansion!

July 28, 2015/ Riverwood Mansion

Last week, Riverwood had the honor of hosting a special event for The Outlaw Roadshow, hosted by the one and only Counting Crows! It was a pre-show event where the bands playing at the Outlaw Roadshow concert over the weekend got to relax, have some good Nashville style BBQ that we provided, and record video footage of acoustic sets inside the mansion itself. It was a blast! Our friends at Little Harpeth Brewing Company provided the beer, which of course was a huge hit. Who doesn't love a good beer, BBQ, and some rock and roll on a summer afternoon?

Over the last 10 years, Riverwood Mansion has hosted numerous musicians and celebrities. Riverwood has facilitated music videos, private dinners, weddings, galas, photoshoots, and celebrity interviews. The property and the mansion provides multiple outdoor and indoor backdrop options. Specifically, the 4 acre front lawn, garden, and mansion's triple parlor display the beauty of the 200+ year old property. Riverwood recently hosted Reese Witherspoon and Jenna Bush for their fall interview on the Today Show.
