troll hand in hand under a waterfall, past statues to a pavilion lit with twinkle lights. Where are you? Paris, Venice, Rome? Nope. We’ve got all of that and more right here in Nashville. And we’ve put together an all-day romantic itinerary you’re sure to love. Start your day by tearing your gaze away from one another long enough to peruse Biscuit Love’s breakfast offerings. Let your eyes go straight to the hearts smattering the menu and pick out one of its customer favorites. Once you’ve shared a sugary treat, head to the Gaylord Opryland Resort to wander its water-feature-fi lled gardens. Then visit its Relâche Spa for a couple’s massage. Once you’re pampered, have a picnic at Love Circle, a skyline-viewing spot. When you two are together, everything is picturesque. But why not take things to the next level with Picnic PopUp’s Just a Kiss experience? (seen here) They’ll set up the table, pillows, lights and fresh flowers. Next on the list: Paddywax Candle Bar, where you’ll pick and pour a scent that’ll remind you of your trip—has it been spicy (amber and smoke) or sweet (Bordeaux fig and vetiver)? Once your candle has set, put on your fanciest attire and make your way to the velvet-curtain-lined House of Cards for dinner and a magic show. End your night dancing through Broadway or sipping champagne up among the stars at the Rare Bird rooftop bar, atop the Noelle Hotel. Whatever you lovebirds decide to do, we know you’ll remember your romantic trip to Nashville for years to come.
