Dark Winter Wedding – Shaylee and Nic

Dark Winter Wedding

Shaylee and Nic – December 14, 2024

Shaylee and Nic embraced the beauty of the season with their dark winter wedding at Chapel in the Hollow, and it was absolutely stunning!  They dressed the chapel in black fabric with our moody florals and winter tree package, creating a dramatic and romantic atmosphere. 
Shaylee looked breathtaking in her off-the-shoulder dress with a lacy top and flowy train, paired perfectly with a medium-length veil.  Her nails were a bold and edgy white with black flame outlines—so unique!  Nic kept it chic and timeless in all black, accented by simple black plugs in his ears. 
Their families and their sweet young son joined them for this special day.  Nic teared up as Shaylee walked down the aisle—such a heartfelt moment!  Their rings were as distinctive as they are: his was black with a copper side, and hers was white gold with a single diamond.  They used a glass box with moss as their ring box, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance. 
The couple added personal touches, like a cake that read ‘Til Death and a cute “We Eloped” sign with their wedding date, making the day uniquely theirs.  After the ceremony, we captured their love at the mossy tree, the highland area, and the field with the stunning mountain backdrop. 
Congratulations, Shaylee and Nic! Your wedding was a perfect blend of drama, elegance, and heartfelt love. We were honored to be part of your special day. 
From the Bride
We met on Tinder… LOL we went to the same college around the same time a couple years prior though! We just hung out at his house – very chill, very us! He proposed, in our kitchen, at like 2am (he worked 2nd shift at the time) because my ring had come in the mail the day before and he said he was too excited to wait lol he woke me up.. so my hair was a mess, in pjs, eye crusties from sleep, a real magical moment.
We decided to get married in East Tennessee because of the mountains and woods… I wanted a moody “Twilight” moment that wasn’t too far of a drive for our family! We’re from Indiana. On our wedding day I am most looking forward to marrying my love and celebrating with our family.. and let’s be real, the photos are going to be pinterest worthy! The was not really a significance to the date we are just hoping for some gloomy weather to make my Twilight dreams come true!
We recently (well I recently, because I got my bike this summer) started riding motorcycles together! We ride just the two of us or ride with friends. It’s so much fun! We also have a 3yo son together, so we like taking him exploring and hanging out as a family!
