In the heart of a blossoming forest, Madison and Alan celebrated their love with an intimate spring micro wedding in the woods at Chapel in the Hollow. They transformed the chapel into a magical setting with lavender and purple fabric, beautifully complemented by our soft lavender florals, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere for their special day.
Madison added her personal touch with extra florals to adorn the pews and brought a gorgeous cake that perfectly matched the day’s theme. She looked stunning in an ivory dress featuring a long train, embodying bridal elegance and grace. Alan, ever so dapper, complemented her in a tasteful tan suit, together painting a picture of timeless love and style.
Crafting the bouquets for herself and her bridesmaids out of sola wood florals, Madison infused the celebration with creativity and a personal flair. Her mom and sister were by her side, helping her prepare for the moment she would step into her new life, a time of joy and anticipation.
The day was filled with heartfelt moments, from Madison and Alan’s first look and private vow reading, a tender exchange that underscored their deep connection, to the touching first look with her dad, full of emotion and love.
Walking down the aisle, escorted by her father, Madison was met with the loving gaze of Alan and the support of their five children, who played a special part in the ceremony, symbolizing the blending of their lives and the strength of their family bond.
Their bridal party and friends contributed to the day by helping set up decor, making the celebration a true community effort filled with love and support from those closest to them.
Madison and Alan’s wedding was not just a union of two hearts but a celebration of family, friendship, and the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in their lives. As they embark on this journey together, we wish them endless happiness, love, and joy.
Congratulations, Madison and Alan! May your lives together be as beautiful and filled with love as your spring wedding day.
From the Bride:
We met through mutual friends one day when I went over to his house to hangout with them. My best friend at the time was dating a guy that was Alan’s best friend. For our first date, we went to Andretti Indoor Karting and Games, played a round of bowling, and then finished the night by having dinner at Kevin Rathburn Steakhouse.
Alan proposed. It wasn’t big and elaborate, as he knows I don’t like to be the center of attention. We had known we wanted to get married and had been talking about getting engaged. We were going to dinner one night and just decided to go to Kay’s and look at rings.. well long story short he ended up buying one, asked my dad the next day if he could marry me, and the rest is history.
Our original plan was going to be to get married out of the country, just the two of us, during my graduation trip. But the more we thought about it, the more we decided we wanted not only our kids to be able to be with us during this special time, but our close friends and family as well. We had already booked a family vacation to be in Tennessee this week, and through TikTok research, I stumbled upon The Chapel in The Hollow and we knew this was the place for us.
We are most looking forward to finally becoming a whole. We’ve been waiting on this day for so long and can’t wait to be surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. For fun, we love to go to concerts and travel.
On a day filled with love and the sweet scent of spring, Audrey and Ashton exchanged vows in a beautifully intimate lavender wedding ceremony at Chapel in the Hollow. They chose a serene palette of lilac fabric to adorn the chapel, perfectly complemented by our delicate lavender florals and the soft, romantic glow from our candle and lantern package, creating a magical atmosphere for their special day.
Audrey was elegance personified in her sleeveless dress, featuring a medium-length train that gracefully flowed behind her as she walked. Ashton looked dashing in a light grey suit, accented with a purple tie, perfectly in harmony with the wedding’s lavender theme.
Surrounded by the love and support of their parents and siblings, the ceremony was a heartfelt celebration of the journey Audrey and Ashton have shared. Audrey’s mom played a special role in helping her prepare.
Audrey made the empowering choice to walk down the aisle by herself, a beautiful expression of her independence and strength, stepping confidently towards Ashton and their future together.
Celebrating a decade of love, Audrey and Ashton’s lavender wedding was a testament to their enduring bond and the life they’ve built over the past 10 years. As they continue their journey hand in hand, we wish them endless happiness, love, and countless more years of togetherness.
Congratulations, Audrey and Ashton! May your marriage be as fragrant and enduring as the lavender that adorned your special day.
From the Bride:
We were college sweethearts. We happened to live on the same floor of the same dorm. We chose East Tennessee because we both love hiking and wanted to be outdoors in nature. I’m most looking forward to the ceremony and photos. For fun, we love hiking, traveling, and binge watching shows with our cat.
Under the soft glow of the April sky, Ashley and Joe celebrated their love in a beautiful outdoor evening ceremony at Chapel in the Hollow. They transformed the chapel into a romantic setting with champagne fabric and our unique succulent florals, complemented by the enchanting ambiance of our winter tree package, creating a dreamy backdrop for their vows.
Ashley was stunning in a sleeveless dress that featured exquisite detailing in the underlayers of her train, a masterpiece of design and elegance. Joe, in a striking green suit, showed the depth of his emotions, with tears streaming down his face as he took his place on the chapel steps, moved by the significance of the moment.
Surrounded by the love and support of her mom and sister while getting ready, Ashley’s day was filled with laughter, joy, and anticipation. Her mom had the honor of walking her down the aisle, a journey made with love and pride towards Joe, who awaited her with open heart.
Adding a personal touch to their ceremony, Ashley’s uncle Kenny officiated, lending an intimate and familial warmth to their exchange of vows. Their friends, who had come from far and wide, joined in celebrating Ashley and Joe’s union, testament to the love and friendship that surrounds them.
The celebration continued with a delightful pizza bar, offering guests pizza, cupcakes, and specially designed cookies to enjoy. This casual yet thoughtful dining experience allowed their loved ones to mingle and celebrate while we whisked Ashley and Joe away for photos around the property, capturing the joy and beauty of their special day.
Ashley and Joe’s wedding was not just an exchange of vows but a celebration of love, family, and friendship, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Smoky Mountains. As they embark on this new chapter together, we wish them a lifetime of happiness, love, and adventure.
Congratulations, Ashley and Joe! May your life together be as beautiful and filled with joy as your wedding day.
From the Bride:
We went to the same high school and even gym several years later but never knew each other until we met online! For the first date, he took me to my favorite restaurant, we sat there for hours chatting. He proposed on my favorite beach in St. Kitts when I lived there for veterinary school on January 5, 2023. We chose East Tennessee because we were looking for something pretty inclusive. I love going to Tennessee. He and I have been a couple times together. I am most excited to be marrying my person and sharing the evening with our most important people! Our favorite date night is usually focused around a nice dinner. Somewhere new or our usual for something we know we like! We like doing activities too.

In the serene embrace of the Smoky Mountains, Lacey and Hunter celebrated their love with a breathtaking mountain micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow. The chapel was adorned in luxurious champagne fabric, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that was beautifully complemented by our blush and bashful florals, with the soft glow of candles and lanterns adding to the romantic ambiance.
Lacey was a vision of elegance in her long-sleeved dress, featuring an illusion top with a keyhole back and layers upon layers of glitter fabric and tulle on the bottom, sparkling with every step she took. Hunter looked sharp in his black suit, accented with a blush tie, perfectly matching the day’s color palette.
The morning was filled with tender moments as Lacey’s mother and grandmother helped her prepare for the ceremony, a time of bonding and anticipation. Before the walk down the aisle, Lacey and Hunter shared a sweet“first touch” around the doors of the bridal suite, a moment of connection and love without seeing each other.
Lacey’s journey down the aisle, escorted by her dad, was a heartwarming highlight, marked by emotion and love. In her hands, she carried a gorgeous bouquet from Lisa Foster Floral Designs, a stunning array of flowers that complemented the day’s theme perfectly.
Their celebration featured a beautiful two-tiered white cake adorned with mountain designs and blush and white flowers from Cakes by Bakin’ Bishop, a sweet masterpiece that was as delicious as it was visually stunning.
Lacey’s mom played a pivotal role in styling and setting up the wedding, her touch evident in every detail and making the day even more special and personal. The overcast skies provided the perfect lighting for photographs, casting a soft, natural light that captured the beauty of the moment.
We concluded their magical day with photos in the field in front of the majestic mountains, a breathtaking backdrop that encapsulated the essence of their mountain micro wedding.
Lacey and Hunter’s wedding was not just a celebration of their union but a beautiful testament to their love, surrounded by nature’s grandeur and the warmth of their families. Congratulations, Lacey and Hunter! May your journey together be as beautiful and filled with love as your wedding day.
From the Bride:
Hunter and I first met on a dating app, he begged me for weeks to let him come to Tallahassee to meet me. I finally agreed and we met on Feb 11th of 2022. After connecting online, Hunter drove from Panama City, FL to Tallahassee, FL where he was stationed in the Military. We clicked instantly and I knew he was the one! We went out to dinner, watched movies at my apartment and talked for the remainder of the night!
Hunter proposed to me, on March 14, 2023 while we were on a Caribbean cruise to celebrate his 22nd birthday and our 1 year anniversary. Hunter wanted to reenact the famous Titanic scene on the Bow of the cruise ship. He prearranged someone to capture a video of the moment he asked me to marry him. When he got down on one knee I knew immediately my answer would be yes!
We live in Chattanooga and love the mountains. We found Chapel in the Hollow and fell in love with the scenery it provides and the fantastic and beautiful location. Getting to commit myself to my best friend for the rest of my life and getting to finally call him my husband. We also look forward to spending this amazing day with our families that are coming from many different cities and states to spend this day with us.
There’s no sentimental significance to the date we chose but we thought 4/4/2024 had a nice ring to it!
Hunter and I love to visit cool places in our hometown of Chattanooga. We love the food scene and trying out new restaurants. We like to take weekend getaways every once in a while. When we are not traveling, we love to be at home spending time with each other and our 2 sweet kitties, named Skittles and Spree.
