If you’re dreaming of a cozy autumn forest ceremony with boho vibes, earthy details, and a whole lot of heart, Allison and David’s fall micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow will absolutely inspire you. 🍁🌲✨
Nestled in the misty woods of East Tennessee near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Chapel in the Hollow offers an intimate venue for couples who want more than a cookie-cutter wedding. For Allison and David, it was the perfect setting for a boho fall micro wedding bursting with personality, emotion, and unforgettable style.
A Chapel Dressed for Fall Romance
For their September wedding, Allison and David dressed the chapel in soft cream fabric, pairing it with our bohemian florals and lantern package for the ultimate cozy forest ambiance. With glowing lanterns lining the aisle and textured fall florals framing the rustic wooden chapel, the entire setting felt like a magical woodland fairytale.

Boho Bride Meets Woodland Queen
Allison embodied the bohemian bride aesthetic in the most effortless way. She wore a spaghetti strap dress by Avici that flowed beautifully with every step. Her green suede boots added a fun, earthy twist — boho meets mountain girl realness. 🤎
During the ceremony, she wore a dreamy boho veil, but later swapped it for a wide-brimmed hat for their romantic couple’s portraits. It’s those subtle outfit changes that let your personality shine throughout your wedding day!
Her ring featured delicate green gemstones, complementing her unique style. David’s ring, with fish hook detailing from Gentlebands, added a personal outdoorsy touch.
Dapper Groom with Forest Flair
David looked like he stepped straight out of a woodland romance novel in a green suit from Studio Suits, paired with a maroon tie and fall floral boutonnière. From his laid-back charm to his emotional reaction at seeing Allison, he was the definition of dashing and devoted.
The couple brought some of the most creative flat lay details we’ve seen this season, including:
Custom vow booklets
Their baby’s shoes
A meaningful bracelet
A bulldog pin
A distinctive ring box
Sentimental extras that made the details so them
(Thinking of doing a flat lay? Bring personal items that reflect your relationship. They make for great storytelling through photos!)
A Ceremony Full of Tears and Laughter
Before the ceremony, Allison shared first looks with both of her dads and her mom, and each one was full of hugs, smiles, and happy tears. But the moment David saw Allison walking down the aisle? Waterworks. His face crumbled in the most beautiful way—and we promise you, there wasn’t a dry eye in the forest. 🥹
Their officiant, Max Moss (also Allison’s brother-in-law!), gave a ceremony full of personalized touches and just the right amount of humor. It felt less like a formal ritual and more like a celebration with family—and that’s exactly what they wanted.
A Party Bus Send-Off + Golden Hour Romance
After the vows and all the hugs, their guests boarded a party bus from Sweetheart Limos and Party Busses to continue the celebration, giving us the perfect opportunity to sneak the couple away for some quiet moments.
We visited a few favorite photo spots around the Chapel in the Hollow property—including dreamy tree-draped paths, mossy corners, and that iconic field with the mountain view, just as the light turned golden and glowy. ✨📸
