Country music artistsBrit TaylorandAdam Chaffinshave spent much of their grown lives under the spotlight of Music City. But when it came to their September nuptials, the couple knew they wanted to do something small and intimate.
“As two performers who have been putting on shows for people from an early age, the last thing we wanted was for our wedding to be a big production,” Taylor, 31, explained to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about their “super simple” wedding held within the charming surroundings ofHotel Luna Mysticain Taos, New Mexico. “We love putting on shows for people. But this show [was] just for us.”

Not only did the couple want to have a “super simple” wedding, but they also wanted to do something completely different than the norm.
So, they went and wed at a trailer park in the middle of nowhere.
“The second we pulled into the campground and saw the mountains and the sunset, I burst into tears,” remarked Taylor of the setting for her and Chaffin’s intimate wedding. “It’s just a magical place. They call it the Land of Enchantment. And Hotel Luna is actually not a hotel at all. It’s a vintage trailer park full of old Airstreams in the middle of the desert. We stayed in a trailer named Frida built in 1958. It had all the vibes!”

“I tried on a couple of white dresses, but they made me feel not myself,” says Taylor, who also wore cream western booties with a silver toe fromFree Peopleunderneath her dress. “As soon as I tried my dress on, I knew it was the one. It’s so dreamy. There are layers of thin and flowy material in different shades of pinks and tans with butterflies, flowers and paisley.”

“It was dainty and airy and consisted of both flowers and herbs: thistle, poppy pods, pale pink roses, eucalyptus, leucadendron, echinacea pods, dried protea and dried palm,” Taylor raves.
With the help of travel agent Chelsee McClintock ofAnywhere Everywhere Travel, the couple then honeymooned for seven days at Mexico’s luxuriousSayulita Mexico Amor Boutique Hotelbefore returning to Nashville for a Sept. 13 reception held atStar Rover Sound.

“We set intention candles on each table with a small notebook for guests to write intentions for our marriage in,” recalls Taylor, who just one week before her wedding could be found holed up in the studio recording with the legendary Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson.

“We’re both artists with big dreams and understanding that helps to keep our relationship strong,” says Taylor, who along with Chaffins, released their individual debut albums last year and are now working on new projects. “We’re both excited and honored to have each other as a partner for life.”
“Everything we do together is easy because we have so much respect for one another,” adds Chaffins. “Brit showed me what true love really is.”
