rayna — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 22:10:19 +0000

What a fantastic year for Always Planned! Two wedding where we get to work with the amazingly talented ladies at Angela Anderson Photography!

Erin and Greg were married at the beautiful Barn at Talon Winery in Lexington, KY on Thursday June 17, 2010 and it was hot! Hot as in temperature and in style. Her florist Jeanie Gorrell did an amazing job with the flowers and Lundy’s Special Events did all of her linens and catering. The food was amazing!

Erin was such a fun and relaxed bride who was ready to have a great time and get married. The pictures are beautiful!! See for yourself! Check out the full blog post over at www.Angela-Blog.com

Beautiful KY Wedding at Headley-Whitney

rayna — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:38:17 +0000

When I met with Lindsey and her mom, Tommie, in January I knew this wedding was going to be special! Lindsey described the beautiful garden wedding she desired in an array of pinks. Her stunning venue, The Headley-Whitney Museum, screamed of an outdoor Kentucky Garden Wedding. Lindsey wanted something different, unique and fun! Always Planned took Lindsey’s style and personality along with the beautiful setting of the Headley-Whitney Museum and created a flawless outdoor garden wedding and tent reception that definitely was different, unique and fun! Just what she wanted! I could not be happier with the results!

Lindsey and Jayson are still on their honeymoon, but the rave reviews have just been pouring in. We can’t stop blushing!

True Southern wedding – KY Farm Wedding

rayna — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:29:45 +0000

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!

What to do about Swine Flu?

rayna — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 17:29:18 +0000

First the drugs were getting out of control at the borders – now it’s the swine flu. Seriously, what next??

If you are like me, you may have already made vacation plans to Mexico or you have planned your destination wedding to the beautiful country of Mexico. I honestly have no idea what to tell you. Andrew and I have not yet canceled our trip, not saying we won’t. I really don’t want to cancel, so we shall wait and see.

But- if you were planning on getting married in Mexico in the next few weeks or even months you may want to reconsider your plans. There are several places you can travel to if your heart is set on a destination wedding. Bahamas, Belize, Costa Rica and Jamaica are just a few places that come to mind. You can always stay in the states and go to South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and of course Florida. There are so many options it is easy to get overwhelmed.

If you feel the tension creeping up- just give us a call. I adore destination weddings!!

It’s about time!

Sorry for such a long delay in postings. We have been very busy with some truly southern weddings. Kentucky weather has been perfect lately and October 10th was no exception.

When I met Mary and Billy in Feburary, I knew we were going to have a great time doing their wedding. Imagine an outdoor fall wedding with pink and green everywhere! I know, it’s not your traditional fall wedding colors but this is not your traditional wedding. Mary and Billy are still in Ireland, on their amazing honeymoon, and I can’t wait to chat with them when they get back.

Here are some details. More Pictures coming soon.

Wedding Insurance

rayna — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:57:11 +0000

The average wedding in the US costs $28,000. That is a lot of money for one day. No one wants to think about the many things that can go wrong with their wedding, but believe me things to do happen. Most of the time your wedding planner can jump in and take care of any issue that arises. But, there are some things even the most fabulous wedding planner cannot handle. Poor weather, transportation delays and sudden illness can all cause major delays in your wedding and reception either delaying hours, days or even months. With the correct wedding insurance you could be reimbursed for the non-refundable costs you have already paid.

Travelers Insurance has a great website where you can analyze your risk and even get a real-time quote for the insurance. Check it out!
