Intimate Wedding at CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, TN
Some weddings follow a familiar script. Then there are weddings like Andreina and Eric’s; the kind that are thoughtfully, intentionally built from the ground up to reflect exactly who the couple is, where they come from, and what matters most to them. Their day at CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, Tennessee was a masterclass in meaningful wedding design, and from the first ceremony to the final dance, it was one of the most beautiful and heartfelt celebrations we’ve had the privilege of photographing.
Two Ceremonies
Two ceremonies, two languages, one perfectly intimate wedding day in the heart of Franklin, Tennessee and every detail was nothing short of extraordinary! At the heart of Andreina and Eric’s wedding was a detail that made their day entirely unique: two ceremonies.
The first was an intimate Catholic ceremony conducted entirely in Spanish, held with just their immediate families and wedding party present. This was a deeply personal and sacred moment; a nod to heritage, faith, and the importance of honoring where they come from. Keeping it small and entirely in Spanish created an atmosphere of profound intimacy. There were no distractions, no performances for a crowd; just family, faith, and two people making promises that mattered.
For any couples planning a bilingual wedding in Tennessee or a Spanish Catholic wedding ceremony in Nashville, this is a beautiful model to consider. The intentionality of separating the two ceremonies; one sacred and private, one celebratory and expansive gave each moment the space it deserved to breathe and be fully felt.
The second ceremony brought all of their guests together in the garden at CJ’s Off the Square for a traditional celebration and the transition from the intimate to the joyful was seamless and stunning. The garden setting provided the perfect backdrop: lush, romantic, and dripping in natural beauty that felt tailor-made for the florals and design vision Andreina had brought to life.
The Details: Where This Wedding Became a Work of Art
Florals by Tulia Grace Florals
There are wedding florals, and then there are the florals that Tulia Grace Florals creates — and the difference is immediately apparent. For Andreina and Eric’s wedding, the floral design was nothing short of breathtaking. Rich, layered, and deeply intentional, the arrangements felt like they had grown organically from the garden setting itself. Every installation, every centerpiece, every bloom felt considered and purposeful. If you’re a Franklin or Nashville bride searching for a luxury wedding florist, Tulia Grace Florals is a name you need to know.

The 1983 Classic Rolls-Royce
Of all the gorgeous details woven through Andreina and Eric’s wedding day, perhaps none turned more heads or photographed more beautifully than their classic 1983 Rolls-Royce! The vintage car chauffeured the couple throughout the day. It added a layer of timeless glamour and old-world elegance to every portrait session. Against the lush Franklin greenery and the romantic garden setting of CJ’s, the Rolls was a visual anchor that elevated the entire aesthetic of the day. There is simply nothing like a vintage Rolls-Royce wedding getaway car and the 1983 model is an absolute icon.
