While Tennessee still experiences cold snaps in the early spring and often has rain, dogwoods and flowers are blooming, and temperatures are mild but warming up! This is also a great time of year to check out Tenneessee's rushing waterfalls, such as Fall Creek Falls.
Spring (March- May)
Tennessee experiences very mild winters, however snow isn't completely off the table. There are chances of ice on roads, especially in higher elevations, making travel difficult and some locations inaccessible. While Tennessee can see below freezing temperatures, crowds are at an all time low!
Winter (December- february)
Fall in Tennessee is stunning, with fiery shades of yellow, orange, and red! The smokies are very popular during the fall for tourists, so you may still have some difficulty avoiding crowds when it's time for peak fall foliage.
Fall (october- November)
Tennessee has very hot and humid summers, often seeing temperatures in the 90's. Some areas, especially the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and towns like Galtinburg and Pigeon Forge, will be incredibly busy. This is a great time of year to enjoy Tennessee's rivers and waterfalls!
Summer (June- September)
When choosing your destination and date for your elopement there are several factors to consider- such as tourism, weather, and scenery. Each season brings something unique to the table, and there are pros and cons to eloping in Tennessee during every season!
The Best Time to Elope in Tenneessee:
