Annie Enoch and Dallas Broughton’s love story began the way all the best college romances do — with mutual friends, late-night date parties, and the youthful optimism of freshman year at the University of Tennessee. By sophomore year, they’d traded casual hangs for real dates, and since 2017, they’ve been together through every milestone.
When it came time to propose, Dallas knew he didn’t need a grand stage — just the porch of their Nashville home, a scattering of photos from over the years, and a few flowers to set the mood. After a brunch with friends, Annie walked into the sweetest surprise: Dallas waiting to ask the easiest question she’d ever answer. “We celebrated with friends and family right after,” she recalls. “It was so special.”
Six months later — because, as Annie says, “no need to wait!” — the couple stood at the altar of St. George’s Episcopal Church to say their vows. A night of colorful revelry followed in a Belle Meade yard-turned-full-on wedding wonderland.
Annie had always imagined an at-home wedding, and her parents’ front yard in Belle Meade proved to be the dreamiest canvas. “My older sister had her reception at my mom’s house, which was awesome. You can really make it your own,” she says. With planner Dori Thornton Waller and her team at The Social Office steering the ship, every detail fell beautifully onto the blank canvas of her family home.
The stationery by Tenn Hens gave guests a first peek into the playful palette, while the tented reception pulled it all together in layers of color, pattern, and whimsy. “Both my planner and mom have such an eye for creating beautiful, unique spaces, so it was a lot of fun putting it all together with them,” Annie shares.
And then there was the dress. Annie spotted it on her very first shopping trip to The Bride Room in Green Hills — a strapless Ines Di Santo gown with a dramatic skirt and fitted bodice. “I loved it so much,” she says with a smile. It was classic, romantic, and exactly the kind of dress made for a bride walking into a 260-guest celebration.
The morning of Saturday, May 3, 2025, was equally serene and buzzing with the kind of energy only a wedding day can bring. Annie spent the day surrounded by her bridesmaids, who wore chic Bec + Bridge gowns in silky ivory tones.
In those hours before the ceremony, there was laughter, a few happy tears, and plenty of champagne toasts. The photographer, Mary Rosenbaum, captured it all — from Annie stepping into her gown to the sweet, quiet moments with her mom and sisters.
By six o’clock, guests had filled the pews of St. George’s Episcopal Church, the same church Annie grew up attending. When the doors opened, Dallas stood at the altar as Annie made her way down the aisle. “We didn’t do a first look,” Annie says. “We saw each other for the first time when I was walking down the aisle.” That decision made their vows even more meaningful — a traditional exchange that felt timeless and personal.
As the new Mr. and Mrs. made their way to the reception, guests were welcomed into cocktail hour as passed trays of shrimp ceviche, mini BLTs, and grilled cheese bites disappeared in seconds. The drinks were just as thoughtful: two signature cocktails named for the couple’s beloved dogs — Winnie’s White Cosmo and Rain’s Old Fashioned — served in cups and napkins illustrated with their pups’ faces.
As guests walked from the sprinter buses into the tent, jaws dropped. Annie’s vision of a bright, colorful yard celebration came alive thanks to The Social Office and the floral artistry of Knestrick by Design. Layered linens from BBJ Tavola and Nuage Designs, sparkling glassware from Curated Events, and a checkered dance floor from White Door Events transformed her parents’ front yard into a polished party space without losing that at-home warmth.
Dinner was a feast, as only Kristen Winston Catering could deliver. Guests filled their plates with beef tenderloin, chicken, ravioli, and all the sides that made the buffet feel abundant yet elegant. Annie laughs that no one went hungry — especially once the late-night snacks rolled out: cheeseburger sliders, Nashville hot chicken sliders, and mini milkshake “Hummers” that had everyone lining up for seconds.
As Big Swing and the Ballroom Blasters hit their final notes, guests gathered outside the tent, sparklers in hand, forming a glittering tunnel. Annie and Dallas ran through the sparks toward their getaway car — a classic black Ford Model — waving to friends and family one last time before disappearing into newlywed life … and onto their honeymoon to Cap Juluca in Anguilla the next day.
Cheers to the Broughtons!
