Relaxed Forest Wedding Ceremony
Chelsey and Brandon brought their guests to us for a relaxed forest wedding ceremony. They decorated the chapel with lilac and lavender fabric along with our sunflower florals. She was wearing a decadent dress from one of our favorite local shops, The Gilded Gown, and they had a super cute sunflower cake. Congratulations, Chelsey and Brandon!!
From the Bride:
We started working together! Working all those hours together we got to know each other pretty quickly. Our first date started off like a usual date, he took me to one of his favorite taco places then a trip to the mall. I wasn’t from the same area so he was showing me around. After we wandered around we took the long way to the smokies which we didn’t get there till dark. We parked by a creek and that’s where we first kissed. Brandon proposed, it wasn’t a crazy one. We walked into Kay’s to look at rings where he wandered off and came back with a ring. For fun, we like to hike or take the kids out and just explore or ride the bike. We love camping and fishing. I love being in the mountains and he of course loves his Xbox though he loves being active too.
