Wes and Whitney were our second rustic outdoor winter wedding of the day. They chose the champagne fabric with our blue florals, and she let her son pick out the flowers for her bouquet to match. We got some sleet/snow during their ceremony which made for glorious photos. She looked amazing in her dress from Lulu’s, and he looked spiffy in his light grey jacket. She chose a salt and pepper diamond for her wedding ring–something unique and fun. Congratulations, Wes and Whitney!!

P.S. Whitney makes the signs you see in the first image. They are metal and powder coated in a color of your choice. One this size would be roughly $175.

From the Bride:

We met briefly at a party. He told me to come back, and I never did. Four years later, we ran into each other Dairy Queen.  I was 9 months pregnant and hangry and short with him… A few weeks later he sent me a casual message asking how motherhood was and it took off from there! For the first date, he taught me how to shoot guns at his gun range!

We wanted a small wedding with only our immediately family, and we love to travel and we haven’t been on a large family vacation in a while, so we thought a family vacation/wedding would be perfect! I’m most looking forward to making it official with my best friend!

We are pretty boring and stay home most of the time! Most date nights is at the Mexican restaurant.

Winter weddings in Tennessee are so beautiful! Haley and Cole joined us with their families for their wedding on this super chilly day. She had a bit of an old Hollywood glam feel to her look, and it was amazing!! They were the first couple to use our new blue berry winter florals, and she added in a pop of red with her gorgeous bouquet. They had the most adorable sign carrier for their ceremony–you’re going to love him. Congratulations, Haley and Cole!!

From the Bride:

We met through a group of friends, and our first date was dinner. When he proposed, he had my son, Jase, be a part of it. We decided on East Tennessee for our wedding because of COVID 19. We wanted something easy and beautiful. I’m most looking forward to pictures!

Chloe and Rocky were our second winter wedding on January 23, 2021. She wore an intricately beautiful dress, and he had on all black. They chose the burgundy fabric with our blush and marsala florals. These two are super sweet and so laid back! Their first dance when they were dating was to a Meatloaf song. 😉 They brought their puppers to their ceremony. Congratulations, Chloe and Rocky!!

From the Bride:

We met at Gateway Outreach ministries. Our first date was tacos and talking for 4 hours. 

He proposed at the cross in Sewanee, TN at sunset.

We chose East Tennessee because we wanted something very intimate and personal. We didn’t want to feed/entertain a lot of people — we wanted to save our money for a bomb honeymoon! 🙂 We are most looking forward to being married to each other. We chose our date because it was the quickest we could get married and still be prepared.

For fun, we like to feed people, read, shoot guns, play with dogs, and occasionally cuddle a cat.

Are you thinking about a winter wedding?? As you can see, they are just as gorgeous as warm season weddings. Check out our calendar to see if your date is available.

Kevy and Dylan were our first winter elopement on January 23rd. They took advantage of that glorious morning light and came ready to play! They came just the two of them, so we got to spend lots of time getting couple photos, and they looked sooooo cute!! They chose the blush fabric with the blush and marsala flowers which looked fantastic, and it went beautifully with her dress. She brought a solawood floral bouquet that matched wonderfully, and she can keep it forever! Congratulations, Kevy and Dylan!!

From the Bride:

We met through a mutual friend tagging me on Instagram and he saw me and started asking who that girl was. The mutual friend gave me his number and I waited a couple months until I finally had the courage to text him. Our first date was July 28th, 2016.

The first date was bad, lol. I had a horrifyingly bad sunburn and my face was peeling really badly! We went to Starbucks and hung out for as long as we could (he had to go to work and I had just worked an 11 hour shift lol). We got outside and he later told me ‘I thought if she was this pretty with her face peeling, Im happy’ and we both kept waiting to leave because we were too embarrassed for the other to see our clunker cars.

We’re not classically romantic or cheesy. We were planning a little vacation in January and we’ve also been planning to get married for a while. I found you guys and picked a date and went to him and asked ‘hey, since we’ll already be on vacation and it’ll be cold and in the mountains, want to get married when we go? I already picked out the place and date’ and he pulled up his bank account and showed me he had already bought my ring the week before! He was already planning to ask and get married on our trip!

We chose East Tennessee because we love the mountains and try to go in January or February as much as we can for the cold, and we found you and it was perfect!

What are we looking forward to most? He said ‘getting married to you’ Of course I said the same, but I’m also looking forward to finally having professional pictures!

My boss picked the date, lol. It’s right by our 4 and half year anniversary, and my boss turned to me and said ‘it’s 12321!’ So it was perfect.

We both have separate home offices solely for gaming. We play together as much as we can. Beyond that, we love cooking together and trying to get to bed early to read.
