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!

Budget Weddings, Venue and Catering – $10,000

weddings // 1 Comment

This week we will discuss the venue and catering for our $10,000 budget wedding.  We already mentioned that by keeping our guest list small and by doing something more personal and different we are able to save some cash.  Now we are going to discuss a big portion of our budget – venue and catering.

One way to save money is to use what you already have access to.  Our bride is fortunate enough to have a family member with a beautiful back yard for the ceremony which is also large enough and perfect for our brunch reception.  Here are the details on rentals.  Using Lilac and ivory as our colors.

Back yard- FREE!
