Wedding Dresses through the Decades
Join Oaklands Mansion for a reception celebrating the 5th Anniversary of “Wedding Dresses Through the Decades” presented in partnership with the MTSU Human Sciences Department. This event will feature an afternoon send-off of the bride and groom with champagne, light refreshments, door prizes and a presentation on the color white to be held on March 5, 2016 from 3:00-5:00pm at Oaklands Mansion.
“This is the final weekend to view these precious dresses and read the bride’s stories before they are returned to their owners to be stored under beds and in the back of attics,” said Mary Beth Nevills, Education Director of Oaklands. “Over the five years of the exhibition we have been honored to display over 200 gowns on loan from our community.”
Register now! The first thirty reservations will receive a $20 gift card to the Nurture Nook Day Spa. All guests will be entered for door prizes including pampering facial packages by Goco Aesthetics, dinner at the Alley on Main, an evening stay at the Residence Inn by Marriott, color fandecks provided by Benjamin Moore, and a spa experience at the Nurture Nook Day Spa.
A special presentation, “How White Came to be the Choice of Brides,” will be held in the mansion at 3:30. Music will be provided by Les, Chuck & i. Thank you to our event sponsors: Benjamin Moore, Southeast Supply, and Stones River Total Beverages.
