True Southern wedding – KY Farm Wedding Pt. 3

Uncategorized // 1 Comment

One thing I have neglected to mention is that Mallory and Kyle decided on a photographer that I simply adore!  All of these amazing images are from a dear friend of mine, Shaun Ring.

Rayna and Shaun

Shaun and I grew up together in Mt. Sterling and I have several fond memories of us in High School.

A note to Shaun – I cherish that we are both doing what we love, and I am honored to be in the same industry as you.  Not only are you an amazing photographer but you are a dear friend.  I will never let you forget the songs you wrote in high school ;) , the time my car overheated in Winchester (when we HAD to get ice cream) and the countless times you played the guitar on my patio.  Those memories always bring a smile to my face!

Ok- so now you have seen some of the fantastic details from Mallory’s wedding.  Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL!  Mallory now lives in Shelbyville with her new husband.  If you are getting married in the Louisville area – she would love the opportunity to chat with you about your upcoming wedding.  Schedule your complimentary consultation today!

Since this was an Always Planned wedding – in it’s truest sense.  I thought it was only fitting to show some fun pics of the AP team!  Enjoy!

True Southern wedding – KY Farm Wedding

vendors, weddings // 1 Comment

I met Mallory last spring when she contacted me for the internship position at Always Planned. I knew instantly that we would be great friends – maybe because her interview lasted over 4 HOURS!

When she told me she was going to marry her high school sweetheart on her family farm my, heart skipped a beat. Although I am a total and complete girly girl, I must admit that I grew up on a farm in Mt. Sterling.

Since Mallory has been working with some of the best vendors in Lexington, she knew exactly what she wanted and I must say she got it right. The perfect photographer – Shaun Ring Photography, cake -Tinker’s, venues – Family Farm and Blue Licks State Park and of course the wedding planner – Always Planned!

Her day was flawless – as we could not be happier for the new Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Harmon!  Since there were so many details – you will have to come back in a day or so to get the rest of the story. Until then, here is part 1 of her day. Enjoy!

Our Invitation Over-it!

weddings // No Comments

Wedding invitations come in all shapes and sizes and this Over-it! post is all about your invites.  Listen up!

What are we over this week??  (Just realized it has been a while since our last over-it!, eek!)

fc099c744c354f1e03dcf39253426a4f_t

Including where your registered in your invite! - NEVER do this!  Not only is it rude to assume that your guests will be getting you a gift it is tacky to tell them just where to go to get it.  That being said, it is completely OK to include this information in the invitation to your couples shower or bridal shower, on your wedding website and by using word of mouth.  And PLEASE NEVER EVER put on your invites that cash is requested!

Going OVERBOARD with details – I just adore those fabulous envelopement invites.  You know the ones that have a little more detail than the time and place.  One thing I have noticed is that some brides (and you know who you are ;) go a touch overboard with the details.  It is fantastic to want to include everything for your guests, just don’t do it.  An invitation that sets the tone of your event is perfect.  No need to include details for out of town guests (like where to eat/shop/etc.), or the details of your bridal party.  Leave those details for the out of town gift bags and programs.

We are definitely over-it!  So what are you over?

But when I saw this dress… my heart skipped a beat.  No seriously- this dress was made for me.  Granted my waist is not as small as it needs to be to fit into this fabulous frock but I have been dreaming of this dress ever since I first laid my eyes on it.  The details, the color and the design!  Ceil Chapman you are a masterpiece yourself and I can only dream of owning this stunning creation.

A while back I stumbled upon this quote, and have loved it ever since.  It is simple but just enough – and it has quickly become a staple at every Always Planned event.  Enjoy!

May your troubles be less, and your blessings more, and nothing but happiness come through your door. – Irish Blessing
