Planning their Downtown Chattanooga Wedding

Planning a wedding in 2020 was no easy task. When Emily contacted us about her big day, Covid-19 shut downs were in full swing. She shared with me that they had booked the Waterhouse Pavillion in downtown Chattanooga, for it’s open-air and Covid-safe features. She explained that her and her fiance Jaren had decided that they would move forward with planning their wedding whether it included 100+ people or 10. They just knew that on September 12th, they were getting married no matter what!

Several years ago when my sister got engaged, they chose a moissanite engagement ring instead of a diamond. At that point, I had never heard of this stone, and knew nothing about the conflict that was occurring within the diamond industry. When I first saw her ring in person, I thought it looked exactly like a diamond and didn’t notice any difference at all. The stone had all the beauty and clarity I was used to seeing in a diamond, and I was truly impressed with it’s stunning sparkle-factor!

I am a wedding florist in Chattanooga, Tennessee, so I interact with a ton of brides each year. And since my first interaction with moissanite years ago after my sister’s engagement, many of my clients have shared with me that they too chose moissanite. So, I started doing research to find out all the reasons why a couple would choose this alternative stone, and here’s what I found:

Whether you’re planning a micro wedding (A.K.A. intimate wedding) or an elopement, we have some great ideas on how to make your big/small day super special.

Here at Lang Floral Designs, we do wedding flowers and event design in the Chattanooga area. We have had the privilege of working on over 100 weddings spanning the entire state of Tennessee and beyond. In 2020, we saw a massive change in the wedding industry due to COVID-19. Many of these couples had already begun planning their larger weddings (150-250 guests), and had to make the very difficult decision to move forward, cancel or postpone. However, now that we have seen how this pandemic-plagued year has progressed, many couples are loving the idea of a smaller “micro” wedding to decrease the risk of having to make such difficult decisions about their wedding day.
