After spending countless hours looking for the perfect wedding venue, I quickly realized that sometimes it’s right in your backyard! This particular farm wedding took place on the private family farm, where countless other family member weddings have been held. Now if that’s not special, I don’t know what is! Melanie Mauer captured every moment from the big reveal to the elegant details found in the tented reception. You can see all the gorgeous detailing here!
From Melanie Mauer…. This gorgeous wedding took place on the family’s private estate in Lexington, Kentucky. With beautiful stone walls, iconic Kentucky rolling hills and horse farms it provided the perfect backdrop for the day (not to mention plenty of places for kiddos to explore). The couple got ready, were married and had their reception on the family estate, which was also the location for other family weddings making it that much more memorable. The bride had a vision for the ceremony (“dark wood floors, chiavari chairs, chandeliers and large vases with flowers”) and because she was unable to attain it in town, she created it right on the property so everything could take place there. Their personalities were a part of everything from the sweet tea and macaroon favors to the location of the tent under the stars. Every detail was an expression of what they love and the memories they wanted to make that day. The bride Jessica wanted these moments to be the most special of their lives and worked so hard pinning, clipping and planning to make sure the details of the day matched how they felt about each other.
