      Kelly Clarkson Ties The Knot At Blackberry Farm

      After their December 2012 engagement, Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock had planned for an extravagant 200-person wedding. But a simple, intimate ceremony won their hearts and the couple opted to get married at Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee on October 20.

      Donning a beautiful, long-sleeved lace Temperley London gown, The Grammy-winning singer carried a fall-centric bouquet of sunflowers and other white and purple blooms. Blackstock, who’s the stepson of Reba McEntire and the talent manager of country crooner Blake Shelton, was accompanied by his two children, Savannah and Seth, at the ceremony. No other guests were present. The two exchanged vows under a covered bridge surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Great Smoky Mountains (think vibrant foliage, a babbling brook, tree-studded hills). Currently getting her pilot’s license, Clarkson actually flew the family to Blackberry Farm to say “I do” — don’t worry, Blackstock is a licensed pilot in case nerves were to take over.

      The luxurious Tennessee retreat provides a fantastic backdrop for weddings any time of year, ensuring that you, too, can have your dream wedding there. There are nuptial packages ranging from intimate weddings of less than 32 guests (A Farmstead Wedding) to renting out the entire property and throwing an elaborate fête (An Estate Wedding). Blackberry Farm’s event team can help make sure your day goes as smooth as possible by providing guidance to local resources and vendors. Picture-perfect sites include the Main House Lawn, The Barn or the Boathouse for a small ceremony.

      About Forbes Travel Guide Editor Hayley Bosch

      Majoring in French and Italian in college yielded some of the best food (in my own humble opinion) and vacations (everyone wants to travel with someone who’s fluent) that I could imagine. And as a Content Editor at Forbes Travel Guide, I’m able to focus on my passion for traveling and eating — with a refined palate, of course. I love to write about my adventures; it’s a way of telling my story. I seek out everything from marathons in cities I’ve never explored to restaurants off the beaten path. When I’m not eating my way through my world travels, I’m chatting with our Tastemakers to help tell their stories of travel, food and business.
