Dark Cherry Red Wedding at The Magnolia Venue: A Bold & Romantic Winter Celebration

A winter wedding in the Smoky Mountains is already magical, but adding a dark cherry theme creates a romantic celebration. Nicole and Robert chose a mountain backdrop for their dark cherry red wedding. The Magnolia Venue, with a stunning view of the mountains, is always a great wedding venue for any season. This winter wedding set the scene for a day full of rich, deep hues and dramatic elegance. If you learn anything about this wedding or bridal fashion, it’s this: GO. BOLD.

The Magnolia Venue: A Breathtaking Backdrop

Nestled in the heart of Sevierville, Tennessee, The Magnolia Venue offers couples a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. With panoramic views and a sophisticated (yet rustic) atmosphere, this event venue is one of a kind.

The Magnolia is a dream Smoky Mountain wedding venue. It offers indoor and outdoor ceremony options, a spacious reception hall, and a bridal suite. Designed to blend seamlessly with nature, this venue offers an intimate space for up to 100 guests.

A Pop of Dark Cherry Red in Every Detail

A dark cherry red wedding at The Magnolia Venue proves that color can be more than just a theme—it can set the entire tone for a wedding day. The thoughtful incorporation of dark red in Nicole’s and Robert’s attire, bridal party, and decor made this winter wedding an absolute dream.

Dark cherry red might be the perfect choice if you’re considering a vibrant, romantic winter wedding palette.

The Bridal Cloak: Nicole wore a traditional white bridal gown. But she also opted for a velvet dark cherry red cloak, which added drama and warmth to her winter wedding look.

Red Bridal Shoes: When Nicole handed me her shoes, I screamed. They were a pair of striking dark cherry red shoes—a perfect way to add personality to her classic wedding dress! As she walked down the aisle, they peeked out, making for some incredible detail photos to start the day.

Groom’s Bow Tie: Complementing the bride’s bold color, Robert wore a dark cherry red bow tie. This element was a subtle yet impactful addition to his look. Red stood out beautifully against his classic blue suit, tying together the wedding theme.

Bridesmaid’s Dress: The dark cherry red theme carried over to the bridal party, with the bridesmaids donning stunning dark cherry red gowns. This rich hue popped against the wintery mountain backdrop, making for romantic and timeless bridal party portraits.

Napkins & Reception Decor: The Magnolia Venue’s reception space featured dark cherry red napkins. These added warmth and sophistication to the tablescape against the venue’s natural wood floors and walls. Paired with elegant table settings, the dark red accents created a cozy atmosphere for the wedding reception.

The Perfect Color for a Winter Wedding

A red wedding is a statement of passion, drama, and romance. Dark cherry red is the perfect shade to embody this energy. Whether paired with deep crimson roses, regal gold accents, or dramatic candlelight, red creates an atmosphere that is both timeless and bold. The various shades of red, from burgundy to scarlet, allow couples to tailor the intensity of their aesthetic to match their style.

Dark cherry red is a popular choice for a winter wedding. Why? It pairs effortlessly with classic whites, deep greens, and even crimson roses for a festive touch. Nicole and Robert’s careful curation of the color red throughout their big day ensured a cohesive aesthetic.

Ya’ll. Surprise proposals are tricky!

When Nick reached out to me we communicated a LOT about his proposal to Alyssa.

We first started talking about going to Cades Cove but in March, the weather is unpredictable. I asked what he would like to do after the proposal and if there would be dinner plans…and my brain immediately went to @dancingbeartn.

Just near the Townsend entrance to the GSMNP, this venue has the cutest gazebo and even better food. I reached out to their coordinator and she held their date and time for me! I picked up Nick’s flower order from @melissatimmdesigns and away I went!

Everything turned out so well, and of course, she said YES.

If you’re looking to propose in the East Tennessee area, give this girl a CALL ❤️
