🦋 Rest in Peace, Miss Dolly. 🦋

Today, Tennessee — and the world — lost a little bit of its sparkle.

From the mountains of East Tennessee to stages around the world, Dolly Parton showed us that you could dream bigger than where you came from, never forget your roots, and always leave a little kindness wherever you went.

For those of us who call the Smoky Mountains home, Dolly wasn't simply a country music legend. She was ours. A neighbor, an inspiration, a storyteller, a dreamer, and a beautiful example of what it means to give back to the place that raised you.

Miss Dolly, you spent a lifetime surrounded by butterflies. Today, you finally traded those beautiful butterfly wings for angel wings. 🦋🤍

Thank you for the music, the laughter, the generosity, the dreams — and for always making East Tennessee proud.

We will always love you. 🤍

With love from all of us at

🌧️💍 A little rain was never going to stop these two! 🤍

Congratulations to Jillian & Matthew! 🥂

Their wedding day may have brought some rain, but judging by those smiles, it certainly didn't dampen the celebration. Sometimes the unexpected moments make the very best memories. ❤️

For their day, we created a rustic birch-inspired wedding cake, complete with their J + M carved-heart detail, delicate florals and a sweet heart topper. 🌿🤍

And then there was the food! 😍 A beautiful, abundant grazing table filled with colorful fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, crackers, breads, spreads and all the little bites in between made the perfect centerpiece for guests to gather around and enjoy.

Rain or shine, love wins every time. 🌧️☀️💕

Wishing Jillian & Matthew a lifetime filled with just as much laughter as they shared on their wedding day!

💍✨ 55 years of love, laughter, memories & a life built together. ✨💍

What an incredible milestone to celebrate! Congratulations to Keith & Kathleen on 55 beautiful years of marriage! 🥂🤍

For their anniversary celebration, we created a classic two-tier cake with elegant vintage-inspired piping and soft peach florals. And because a celebration this special deserves a feast, we paired it with a beautiful grazing table filled with meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, vegetables, dips, crackers and all the little extras—plus sweet treats to finish it all off.

Seeing the photographs from their life together made this celebration even more meaningful. From young love to 55 years side by side, what a beautiful story they have written together. ❤️

Happy 55th Anniversary, Keith & Kathleen! Here's to the memories you've made, the family you've built, and the love that continues to carry you through every chapter. 🥂
