In an intimate celebration of love and nature, Corrin and Frankie chose the serene beauty of Chapel in the Hollow for their nature elopement. The chapel was adorned with cream and sand fabric paired with our bohemian florals, setting the stage for their special day amidst the whispers of the forest.
Their beloved 3-year-old pup journeyed with them from PA to stand as a witness to their union, adding a heartwarming touch of family to their ceremony.
Corrin was the epitome of bohemian elegance in a sleeveless, long flowy dress, enhanced with long strands of chiffon attached to the shoulders, capturing the free-spirited essence of their love. Frankie’s attire, featuring dark brown pants and a double vest, embraced a woodland vibe that blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
Their rings were a testament to their unique bond and love for the outdoors: hers, a beautiful set in three pieces with one featuring vine designs, and his, adorned with mountains cast into the design, symbolizing the adventures and heights they’ve reached together.
Hand in hand, they walked down the aisle to the chapel together, a symbol of their journey and partnership. Their sweet and carefree spirits shone through, embodying the joy and love they share. They also brought a sign they made together for photos, a creative expression of their collaboration and unity.
Corrin and Frankie’s elopement was not just a ceremony but a celebration of their deep connection, the beauty of nature, and the simple joys of love. As they continue their journey through life together, we wish them endless happiness, love, and adventure.
Congratulations, Corrin and Frankie! May your life together be as beautiful and filled with love as the day you joined your lives in the heart of nature.
From the Bride:
Growing up in the same small town, Frankie and I have always known each other. Years later, after I had returned from another state, we reconnected. We knew pretty immediately that there was a spark between us. Every day since that day, our love has grown and became our strengths. I wouldn’t say we technically ever had a first date, but too many adventures to list.
Frankie proposed to me. We had been together for a while, and he picked the perfect engagement ring. Like most of our memories, he proposed in a private and intimate setting. Quiet, romantic, and beautiful.
We are quite the adventurous couple that loves travel. The Great Smoky Mountains have always taken our breath away. We knew we wanted a mountain theme to whatever we were doing, and it didn’t take us long to settle on this area of the Smoky Mountains. Seeing your Chapel in the hollow solidified our decision.
We really want the intimacy. Our main reason for eloping is we wanted to be able to focus on each other. No hustle and bustle of guests. We also have a fur-baby (Tayla) that has become a very significant part of our lives and intend on having her around for our big day.
We had a lot of conversations trying to pick the perfect day. Although there were several factors that went into our decision, both of us love spring time and believe numbers carry significance in the world. The 4824 angel number is a reminder that the universe is working in your favor… and 8 also happens to be my favorite number.
We love being out in nature. We love camping, hiking, and kayaking (Tayla too!) which is another reason we are so excited to be married in the smoky mountains.
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.
