When thinking of a wedding in the Smoky Mountains the pictures that come to mind are more rustic settings, outdoors, barns, beautiful mountain backdrops, mason jars, bales of hay and maybe even some cowboy boots. I’ve put together some photos that I believe would make a beautiful Smoky Mountain outdoor wedding.

We’re really starting to see the beginning signs of fall here in Pigeon Forge and in the Smoky Mountains. The temperature has dropped and we’re now seeing highs in the 80’s (in the 70’s this weekend) and we’re event starting to see the slightest color change in the higher elevations. There is just a touch of yellow leaves in our mountains, but that is just enough to get us excited about the upcoming fall season.
Coming up this week in Pigeon Forgeevents is the Grand Fall Rod Run which kicks off this Thursday and goes through the weekend and into Monday. If you’re in Pigeon Forge now, you might start to see some of these classic cars start to roll into town for this big event.
