From Rocky Top to Forever

How they met 

"We met in the Spring of our Freshman year at the University of Tennessee! 


We both played sports for the school and crossed paths through my soccer friends and his football friends. 


Our friends had a game night in Stokely Hall, which was the first time we actually hung out and talked to each other!"


Their venue & color scheme

"We got married at Southall Meadows in Franklin, Tennessee. 


I wanted a color scheme that was very neutral and elegant, but my favorite color is blue, so we went with a white and gold

 theme with a hint of blue and lots of greenery!"





Finding her gown

"The process of finding my dress is something I will never forget… 


I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted going into dress shopping so the first time I tried on dresses I tried everything under the sun on but never tried my dress. 


I picked a top 5 and came back with a close group of girls to help me pick and funny thing is that I was super discouraged I didn’t have my “wow” moment with any of my top 5 so the owner of the store, Rachel, handed me this dress she said was just very different to mix things up and have some fun trying them on..."




The Dress

"...I came out in my dress and my face and

 energy completely changed.


 I was absolutely blown away by the detail and how me it felt I couldn’t stop smiling!! 


I immediately knew that was my dress, and I couldn’t stop staring at all the pearls, and even made that my whole bridal era theme!


 Antonio is an amazing designer I couldn’t be more honored to have this dress named after me as well, I am just blown away!"




A moment to relive 

"I would one thousand percent relive walking down the aisle… that was the most surreal thing seeing the ceremony vision in real life after all the planning and even more that being the first time my husband and I saw each other that day! 


There is not enough words to describe that feeling and I felt the most stunning I had ever felt when I saw him look at me in my dress."

Congratulations to the happy couple! 


Fun fact: Nolyn is wearing the 'Nolyn' gown by Antonio Gual.

She is the first bride to wear the gown, and it was Antonio's honor to name it after her.
