In late October, tourists come from all over to visit the national park and I don’t blame them. Autumn in the Smokies is my favorite time of year. Today, I’m featuring fall elopement inspiration from the Smoky Mountain National Park. This blog is for my nature loving brides planning their intimate elopement in Tennessee.
Sarah-Grace and Tanner chose Cataract Falls, a quiet trail nestled within the Smoky Mountain National Park, as their elopement ceremony location. A short walk through the forest leads to one of nature’s humble backdrops, a 40 ft. waterfall quietly flowing over the mountain’s side.
During their short, yet meaningful ceremony, they spoke their vows, exchanged rings, and shared many joyful tears as they finally became Mr. and Mrs. Kissel.
The wedding attire they chose was a perfect example for fall elopement inspiration. The neutral beige suit pairs so well with nature’s browns and greens because it doesn’t overpower the setting. I loved Tanner’s tie! Also, is it just me or does Sarah-Grace look similar to Margot Robbie? Like, hello?! Stunning!
Although the trail is open to the public, hikers are so respectful when it comes to avoiding being in the background of photos. Similarly, we make way for hikers to pass so everyone can enjoy their time within the park. Tennessee is sweet like that.
You never know what Tennessee weather might bring. I always have a few clear umbrellas just in case. We decided to use them for a few cute shots even though it was barely sprinkling. We loved these!
