The styled shoot at The Valley Venue near Chattanooga was inspired by the enchanting, golden hues of autumn with a fresh twist. The designer wanted to create a space that felt inviting yet unexpected, blending timeless Southern charm with unique, modern elements. For the tablescape, they opted for delicate glass mugs instead of traditional glassware, adding a touch of warmth and intimacy that’s perfect for a cozyfall celebration. Fresh fruits adorned the table, offering a vibrant, organic feel, while the inclusion of baked pies brought a nostalgic touch reminiscent of family gatherings.
To add some lighter notes to the deeper autumn tones, pops of lavender were incorporated throughout the design. This created a unique and refreshing color palette that complemented the natural surroundings beautifully. The interplay of colors was balanced to evoke both the cozy richness of fall and the lightness of late summer.
One of our favorite elements was the interactive escort wall, thoughtfully designed to reflect the adventurous spirit of a couple who loves the outdoors. Guests could discover their table assignments through vintage binoculars, inviting them to take in the breathtaking mountainous views of the Chattanooga Valley—a playful nod to the couple’s love for exploration. Every detail, from the textured florals to the whimsical pops of color, was designed to create an atmosphere as personal and memorable as the love stories we celebrate.
