Today, we celebrated Stefanie and Doug’s elegant outdoor winter wedding at Chapel in the Hollow, a day filled with love and charming winter beauty. They dressed the chapel in white fabric, creating a serene and pure ambiance, which was beautifully complemented by our red berry winter florals and the enchanting winter tree package.

Stefanie radiated a boho vibe with a vintage twist in her wedding dress, where the sleeves detached from the bodice and had button details up her forearms. She added a touch of glamour with a cathedral-length veil, adorned with a sparkling hair comb. Her hair and makeup were fresh and understated, emphasizing her natural grace.

Doug looked dashing in a green velvet suit with smart black accents, paired perfectly with our red berry pocket boutonniere, echoing the winter theme.

The heartfelt moments of Stefanie being lovingly assisted by her mother and best friend while getting ready were truly touching. She infused the ceremony with personal sentiment by including a couple of meaningful Bible verses.

Their celebration featured a delightful cake, designed in white with woodsy accents, pine cones, and subtle hints of red, mirroring the wintry outdoors. They shared this sweet treat with their guests, creating a memorable moment.

The day was crowned with a toast among their guests, encapsulating the joy and elegance of Stefanie and Doug’s winter wedding.

We’re thrilled to have been a part of their special day and extend our warmest wishes for a lifetime filled with love and happiness.

From the Bride:

We met at work, but didn’t date until years after we both left the company where we met. I didn’t realize it was a first date since they were friends :)! We got engaged in Cabo at a beautiful private dinner on the beach. 

Since we are staying in the Smokies, we decided on an East Tennessee wedding! I am looking forward to getting married. We decided on the date, 12/29, because we felt that its was a great opportunity to celebrate our anniversary each year over the holidays! 

For fun and free time, we enjoy traveling, being active, and would consider ourselves foodies. We also love spending time with family, friends and our dogs.
