Event Highlight: The 1st Chattanooga NotWedding

Deep pigments, vibrant details, lively guests — this bustling event was so full of energy and life, we’re surprised we didn’t blow the roof off. Can we party in Chattanooga every night? Between the remarkable details, passionate couple, and endless dancing, this night was certainly one for the books. It is with great excitement that we share the event highlight from our very first Chattanooga NotWedding — enjoy!

Inspiration

Ever dream of summer on a chilly November day? Well we kind of got to live this dream at the first Chattanooga NotWedding. Chattanooga vendors were inspired by the summer garden — lush, overgrown, and tropical. Embracing the wild nature and abundance of summer, our talented Chattanooga vendor team laced it into their work effortlessly. They were encouraged to think less about organization and instead let their design take on growth and life of its own. Utilizing warm hues and sultry summer details, our vendors left the whole room buzzing like june bugs.
