Kimberly and Blake’s small Smoky Mountain wedding at Chapel in the Hollow was a charming celebration of love, embraced by the natural beauty of their surroundings. They adorned the chapel in lovely dusty blue and peach fabrics, beautifully complemented by our vibrant wildflower florals, creating a picturesque setting for their special day.
Kimberly looked absolutely enchanting in a tea-length filmy white dress embellished with pearls, adding a touch of vintage glamour. Her look was completed with a cute soft white bow in her hair, giving her a whimsical bridal appearance. Her mom, twin sister, and best friend were by her side, helping her get ready and sharing in the joy and excitement of the morning.
Blake looked dapper in navy dress pants paired with brown leather suspenders and a white dress shirt, perfectly matching the rustic and cheerful vibe of the wedding. As Kimberly walked down the aisle, accompanied by her dad, Blake’s expression was priceless—a mixture of awe and happiness at the sight of his bride approaching.
Their ceremony was filled with joy and a touch of whimsy, thanks to the bubble guy and gal who filled the air with bubbles, adding a magical touch to their already enchanting setting. The cool but steamy July morning added to the atmosphere, making their outdoor ceremony uniquely memorable.
As locals from Knoxville and with Blake’s background in the army, the day was deeply rooted in personal significance and community spirit. Their families and friends radiated excitement and pride, clearly thrilled to witness Kimberly and Blake’s union.
Congratulations, Kimberly and Blake! Your wedding beautifully reflected the love you share and the community that supports you. Here’s to many years of happiness and love-filled adventures ahead!
From the Bride
I worked at Bruster’s all throughout high school since my mother was the manager of the store. My twin sister Stephanie was actually good friends with Blake and after he got back from military job training Steph suggested a job at Bruster’s. All of my friends knew Blake before I ended up actually meeting him when we worked a morning shift together. For our first date Blake picked me up from my house. We picked up food from Cookout and drove us to Red Ash to go stargazing. We got to spend hours talking to each other about what we wanted in a relationship and our futures, etc. Blake asked me to be his girlfriend and I forgot to answer until he asked me “are we actually dating??” on the drive home.
Blake planned a beach trip with our friends in July 2023. He planned a proposal for our 5-year anniversary. Even though it didn’t turn out as planned Blake proposed on the balcony at the Airbnb and I began to cry and forgot to answer once again until Blake asked me “Is that a yes??”.
We decided to get married in East Tennessee because Blake and I live here. We love the mountains. On our wedding day I am looking forward to spending the day with our loved ones and beginning our future together as the Jackson’s. We picked this date because this is the date we officially started dating, got engaged, and now married on our 6-year anniversary.
We love to watch TV shows together and go on mini one day road trips. We also enjoy spending time with our dog, Milo, and cat, Roo.
