Gorgeous craft cocktails and floral creativity, moody color palettes and modern calligraphy, ambient lighting and glam wedding rings: these are a few of our favorite things! Cody & Allison Photography set out to create a moody and modern Nashville shoot at Riverwood Mansion that shatters the preconception of a southern Nashville wedding, and we think they totally succeeded. Apertif Events & Cocktails created four signature cocktails for the shoot that totally have our mouths watering, and we can’t get enough of the Mid-Century modern hairpin-leg bar cart from 12th Table. If you’re as much of a cocktail enthusiast as we are, read on for Apertif Events & Cocktails‘ exclusive signature cocktail recipes that you could use for your own reception bar!
