40 Affordable Guest Dresses to Save Money

Affordable Suits? They're a Click Away

We'd love for our guests to dress in their summer finest! Ladies, think floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses — and as a kindness to the bride, we ask that guests refrain from wearing white. Gentlemen, a crisp suit with a dress shirt is the perfect look for the occasion. We encourage everyone to embrace the season — pastels and bright florals are warmly welcomed! Please keep in mind that part of the celebration will take place on the venue's grounds, so we recommend choosing footwear with that in mind. Block heels, wedges, or dressy flats are great options for navigating the grass comfortably and in style.We can't wait to celebrate with you — dressed to impress and ready to dance!

Travel

Between wedding festivities, we hope you take a moment to explore! You can grab a coffee at&nbsp;Frothy Monkey, browse the boutiques along Main Street, or catch live music at the iconic&nbsp;Franklin Theatre. Whether you are enjoying a cocktail at&nbsp;Gray’s on Main&nbsp;or taking a walk through the historic Public Square, you’ll quickly see why this town is so special to us.

Downtown Franklin

Just a short drive from downtown Nashville, it's a beautiful 55-acre estate with a historic mansion, art museum, and 13 incredible botanical gardens to explore. Whether you want to check out the Japanese Garden, wander the sculpture trail, or just enjoy the fresh air and stunning views, it’s a great way to experience a little bit of Nashville’s natural beauty and history.

Cheekwood Gardens

Just minutes from downtown Franklin,&nbsp;Carnton&nbsp;is one of our favorite local landmarks and a "must-see" for history buffs. Built in 1826, this beautiful colonial mansion served as a premier social hub for Middle Tennessee for decades before becoming a central site in the Civil War’s Battle of Franklin.

Carnton

For a fun local outing between wedding events, head to&nbsp;The Factory at Franklin, a historic 1920s factory-turned-market located just a mile from downtown. This vibrant landmark is perfect for grabbing a world-famous donut from&nbsp;Five Daughters Bakery, sipping a cocktail at the&nbsp;Skylight Bar, or browsing unique local boutiques and art galleries.

The Factory at Franklin

A&nbsp;Franklin&nbsp;staple&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;open&nbsp;every&nbsp;Saturday&nbsp;from&nbsp;8:00&nbsp;-&nbsp;12:00.&nbsp;They&nbsp;have&nbsp;lots&nbsp;of&nbsp;handmade&nbsp;products,&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;produce,&nbsp;food&nbsp;trucks&nbsp;and&nbsp;locally&nbsp;grown&nbsp;flowers...&nbsp;but&nbsp;we&nbsp;go&nbsp;for&nbsp;Ellie's&nbsp;Donuts!
