Katelyn: "We went to elementary, middle, and high school together. Charlton actually told his friends in 6th grade that he was going to marry me one day! (True story). We started dating when he was a freshman and I was a junior. After 8 years, he planned the most amazing surprise engagement. We were going to “stay at his dad's friends house on Beech Mountain for the weekend with our best friends, Kenzie (who just so happens to be a photographer 😉) and Drew” and go snowboarding the whole weekend. It was December 9th 2016, and we due to some bad weather, the slopes closed! So we went to the cabin and it ended up being a beautiful snowy night. Charlton told me he wanted me to go around to the back of the house to see where we were on the slope. So we walked around and he had our mom’s decorate the back deck and trees with my favorite lights. As I’m looking around trying to see the landscape through the snow, he pulled me close. I could hear his voice tremble and he just said “I love you” then got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him! All the while my best friend is capturing the moment and taking pictures!! As I was ugly crying and nodding "Yes!" in pure shock, the windows on the cabin opened and both of our families started yelling out the window. It was the most special night! 💕 He also spent about 5 months designing my ring from scratch. I literally had no idea and he was traveling home from Knoxville during the week while I was at work, all the while meeting with the guy to make my ring unique and special. 😭😭"  Not technically a venue and not quite an elopement, the wedding was like this secret fall festival. Every detail was hand curated and decorated by Katelyn her moms. With couches at every corner, and the gorgeous trees just starting to turn colors, a breeze falling and candles and blooms gracing every picnic table and bridge around the property, the whole experience was like a dream.  The evening went smashingly. After the most emotional ceremony set beside the roaring Watauga River, we whisked them away for love shots on a nearby bridge and captured their awesomeness while drivers honked their horns in celebration as they drove past! After sunset, they entered their reception where Charlton’s Dad and Katelyn’s Dad and her dear friends gave speeches to honor and commemorate their years so far together. After the speeches everyone ate lots of cake and danishes and then more cake.  Then came the DANCING. In the middle of the Tennessee forest, rap blarring, on this covered porch made for a quiet picnic, were at least 75 people bouncing and stunting and laughing their butts off. We’ve never been happier. I don’t think they had ever been happier. It was 3685 days in the making and it was the best party ever.

Christian weddings are more or less traditional, but much depends on the congregation and couple’s wishes. Plus, there are numerous different denominations of Christians, with varying belief systems.

However, what all Christian weddings have in common is including readings from the Bible, though it’s up to you which passages they will be and if they’re sung or recited.

Faith is an extremely important thing to many, and when it comes time to begin your life as a married couple, it is only natural that many couples wish to express their love in a way which corresponds with their belief system. 

Christian weddings are often held in the church that the couple attends. Similarly, it’s common for the couple’s pastor to perform the ceremony, with possible involvement and assistance from other church members.

Traditionally, we see a gorgeous garden party wedding with plenty of lace, especially when it comes to the wedding dress, and rustic touches. If you're looking for more of a flashy appeal, consider metallics, sequins and even a New Year's Eve wedding date!

We love the idea of using an old-school car as your reception exit vehicle.

Need vendors for your Vintage wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Vintage weddings are a romantic and popular style perfect for a couple who loves the glam of the 20s or simple beauty of the Victorian era. The vintage wedding style will fit in perfectly at a garden venue, estate or historic home or inn.

A vintage wedding is perfect for the romantic at heart. You can embrace the glamour of the roaring '20s or the modern retro of the '50s or even the bohemian natural beauty of the '60s. A vintage wedding style is broad and the definition is different for every couple. We recommend venues with a little history and to really embody the era your theme is based on from the attire to the reception exit.
