Vintage design meets glamorous presentation with this beautiful wedding invitation. We love the clean, crisp contrast of raised black ink on bright white paper and the perfect finishing touch of the organza sleeve. Gorgeous!

This elegant wedding invitation features an embossed silver “chandelier” with your monogram on a shimmery pearl paper. Price starts at $175 for 100.

White Shimmer Vines

This invitation design features floral vine motif and monogram on a shimmery white paper. We love the black and white, but this will be stunning in any ink color.

We love the detail in this intricately cut border. The gilded edge is the perfect compliment to any event with vintage or deco details.

This ecru shimmer paper features timeless flourish patterned border. While not exclusively Deco, we still think Daisy would approve.

Vintage Romance | Dalana + Marc | August 11

Congratulations to Dalana and Marc, married at CJ’s Off the Square on August 11, 2012. It was truly a pleasure working with you and seeing your stunning vintage wedding style come to life! Thank you to photographer Josh McCoy for sharing images from the big day with us.

Relaxed and Rustic | Lindsey + Graham | July 27

On a warm summer day, Lindsey and Graham said “I Do” in the garden at CJ’s Off the Square. While Graham was stationed in Afghanistan, Lindsey worked with the team at CJ’s to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for the couple’s friends and family. Despite the high temperature, nothing was going to keep this group from having a great time. We love this pairing of navy blue with soft pink. Loads of rustic details like our whiskey barrel chandelier, wood chargers and vintage inspired chalkboards made this the perfect look for this laid back Southern couple.

A big thank you to  Matt Andrews Photography for sharing these beautiful images with us.

Soft and Sweet | Cait + Joel | October 12

Every wedding that we get to be a part of is a treat for us, but there’s nothing like getting to be host to the marriage of two of your dear friends, and that’s exactly what we got to do last October for sweet Cait + Joel! They have been close friends of mine for years and I was over the moon when they decided to gather their friends and family from across the country here at CJ’s to celebrate the next chapter of their life together. We had a wonderful time, and words can’t say how much I love Jessie Holloway’s amazing documentation of the day. What memories! Enjoy!

Garden Vintage Hipster | Style Ideas

Last spring, we were delighted have super-hip couple Miranda + Grant host their weddings with us, and I loved their unique style! Here are some images from JHenderson Studios, who stopped by to take some detail shots for us!

Getaway Car | A Grand Exit

You’ve just thrown the party of a lifetime for your friends and family, now it’s time for you and your husband to make your escape and start your new life together. Why not do it in style with a vintage getaway car? It’s a great way to glam up your exit and impress your guests. It also makes for some pretty amazing photos, not to mention it serves its purpose- a one-way delivery to your destination, whether it be a Nashville hotel, airport or your home. Enjoy the quiet time on the way while relaxing in the luxury of a 1939 Vintage Packard.

The getaway car is included in our Premier package and can be added as an upgrade to any of our wedding packages here at CJ’s Off the Square. For more information on this and the many other services we provide, call (615) 216-7576 to speak with an event planner.

Detail of the Week | Vintage Pink Invitation

If your wedding style is soft and romantic with vintage touches, this just might be the invitation for you! I absolutely love the dusty pink color paired with the delicate floral design. The ink color and font can also be customized to complement your exact wedding style. I think a pearl accent where the borders meet would be the perfect feminine touch to tie this beautiful invitation together.

To view more information about this invitation and many more, browse our online store. To set up a personalized consultation, give our office a call at (615) 216-7576.

Detail of the Week | Chalkboards!

If you’ve been on Pinterest lately then you probably already know that framed chalkboards can make for an inexpensive and versatile prop. If you’re planning a wedding, have you thought about all the different ways to incorporate them into your Big Day? You could use a large one to post your menu or highlight your specialty drinks at the bar. I love using small boards for photo props for you and your groom or for your guests in the photo booth. Did you know they’re even available as a rental item? Here are a few of my favorite chalkboard uses here at CJ’s Off the Square:
