Music City bride lift

Athens of the South bride

Nashville is nicknamed the Athens of the South for the Parthenon replica. Take a group photo on the steps where the bride is dressed (or accessorised) like a Greek goddess of the wedding.

Bride at the Mother Church

The Ryman has hosted Hank Williams to Taylor Swift. Take a group photo at the entrance where the bride strikes a pose as if she is about to walk on stage for her own headlining show. The crew applauds in the background.

Busker selfie with the bride

Nashville buskers play live music on every corner of Broadway. Find one, drop a tip and take a group photo with the bride and the musician clearly visible. Bonus if everyone is dancing in the photo.

Country song re-enactment

Pick any country anthem the bride loves (Friends in Low Places, Wagon Wheel, anything). Re-enact the most iconic moment of the song with the whole team and capture it in a photo or short video. Boots and hats mandatory.

Cowboy boot shop strut

No Nashville bachelorette without boots. Step into any boot store (Boot Country, Betty Boots) and take a group photo where the bride tries on a pair while the team strikes their best country pose. Hats on.

Honky-tonk neon sash shot

Pick your favourite honky-tonk neon sign on Broadway (Tootsies, Robert's, Legends Corner) and take a group photo with the bride wearing a sash, tiara or cowboy hat. The bigger the neon, the better.

Hot chicken team challenge

Hot chicken is the Nashville dish. Order a level the bride can handle, share with the team and take a photo of the first bite. Tear-streaked faces welcome.

Local Nashville tip

Convince a real Nashvillian to share one piece of advice or one favourite spot for a bride-to-be. Take a photo with your impromptu advisor and remember the tip.

Music City finale for the bride

This is the final challenge! Take an amazing closing group photo where the bride wears a full bachelorette accessory set (sash, tiara, cowboy hat, boots, the works) with a Nashville backdrop. A photo for the wedding slideshow, well done everyone!

Pedal tavern wave

Pedal taverns rolling down Broadway are the bachelorette uniform of Nashville. Spot one and take a group photo waving at the riders, or even better, get them to wave at the bride. The more matching outfits in shot, the better.

Pedestrian Bridge skyline shot

The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge has the best skyline view in Nashville. Walk to the middle and take a group photo with the downtown skyline and the bride centred. Sunset bonus.

Recreate the bride's wildest moment

Everyone knows that one legendary night out. Imitate the bride at her most wild moment ever. One person plays her, the rest directs, capture it in a photo or short video. Best impression wins.

To Lower Broadway

Navigate to Lower Broadway, the heart of the Nashville honky-tonk strip. Check in once the bride and crew can hear at least three bands at once.

To the Parthenon replica

Navigate to the full-scale Parthenon replica in Centennial Park. Check in once the team is in front of the columns.

To the Ryman Auditorium

Navigate to the Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church of Country Music. Check in at the entrance.

Trivia: Grand Ole Opry birth year

The Grand Ole Opry, the longest-running radio broadcast in US history, started in what year (one year off is fine)?

Trivia: Nashville Music City origins

Nashville earned the nickname Music City. In which decade did the nickname stick (just the decade)?

Whiskey toast for the bride

Tennessee whiskey is the local pour. Find any honky-tonk patio or bar, order shots (or sweet tea for non-drinkers) and take a group photo of the official toast with the bride centred.

White for the bride in Music City

The bride is the star today. Make sure everyone in the team wears or holds something white, find it on the spot, and take a group photo where the bride stands out in colour or sparkle.
