Vintage Inspiration Wedding at Southern Railway

Welcome to the vintage-inspired wedding of Rachel and Elliott at The Historic Southern Railway Station. Elliott and Rachel met during undergraduate at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Both worked at the same hospital, where Rachel was a transporter and Elliott worked in cardiology. He noticed her transporting patients around the hospital and decided to pick up transporter shifts so he could get to know her better. He only worked during her shifts, which was oblivious to Rachel at the time. Being the intelligent guy that Elliott is, he got her number and finally asked her out on a date. Wise man for sure!

Since that first date, they graduated UT together, took a year off to travel together (got engaged!), started medical school together, and even graduated the week before their wedding at The Historic Southern Railway Station in Knoxville, TN. Together. The couple settled upon this Knoxville wedding venue because they sensed the rich nature of its history. They also wanted a uniquely cozy, intimate wedding surrounded by close family and friends with an indoor ceremony and outdoor reception.

And can we talk about this reception decor?! Elliott’s mother owns Vintage Inspiration Rentals, so she was able to make her son and daughter-in-law’s wedding vision come alive with her talent and decorating skills. So many DIY projects a heart could desire are in this vintage-inspired wedding! And all of the succulents go perfectly with the abundant greenery bouquets from Melissa Timm Designs.
