Milk Bottles in Crates

Amanda had so many wonderful details. The flower girl baskets and burlap pill for the ring bearer were made by her mother.

The bride and groom love Scrabble so it was fitting to use tiles in the cocktail area and beyond.

So many sweet details!

Our beautiful couple walking to the church. The bride looked radiant in her Vera Wang dress (makeup by Ana Crane Simpson). The groom looked perfectly handsome in his Brooks Brothers tux.

First Presbyterian Church on Mill Street is the perfect historic church for an intimate evening ceremony.

Their wedding party was gorgeous too! The girls dolled up in dresses from Twirl Boutique and flowers abundant from PG Howard Designs.

The Carrick House was all aglow and looked so beautiful! This was the perfect venue for their modern meets southern charm reception!

My favorite look was the wedding party's table. Simply gorgeous and functional for intimate conversation.

After a cocktail reception in the historic house, guests found their personal escort cards to be directed to the appropriate table....then....

Once they found their table, their place setting included a personalized menu made just for them (click to enlarge the detail)! Its this extra attention that make your guest appreciate all your efforts.

Guests were passed Ale 8 One and Mint Juleps.

The bride had fabulous accessories! The shoes were a gift from one of her close friends...A-MAZ-ING!

The bride's dad painstakingly prepared bourbon barrel heads for guests to sign in lieu of a guest book. These will be used in the couples home for future entertaining/decor.

On a break from dancing to the Jimmy Church band, guests could sip a little bourbon on the patio, try a cigar or snuggle by the fire. What a great night!

Bridesmaids wore plum colored dresses, so we chose bright hues for bouquets to really stand out in pictures.

The reception included more colorful flowers.

We used differing heights of centerpieces because the room was so huge and tall. These gerbers in glass cylinders were the bride's favorite.

Bundles of alstromeria lilies were left tall and tied up with ribbon.

Full purple hydrangea with green aspidistra leaf at the bottom of the vase.

Willow with hanging blooms was used to further add height to the room.

This picture shows how the different height centerpieces really helped the "look" in the room. That combined with bright linen choices and some colored lighting in the room, really helped pull this reception for 300 guests together.

Bridesmaid bouquets of coral roses, pink roses, isle spray roses, green hypericum berries.

Pomander for the flower girl.

Short reception pieces of: green hydrangea, white football mums, coral roses, pink stock, pink heather and ivory roses.

Magnificent tall pieces too!

I loved how the room turned out with alternating tall and short pieces.

The bridesmaids wore stunning turquoise gowns, so these white with hot pink accent roses really "popped" against them. Details included iridescent ribbon that picked up the turquoise in the dresses.

This picture of the altar pieces do not show its true beauty. They were perfectly white with just a touch of hot pink.

Showstopper focal piece at CastlePost included hanging blooms, crystals and votives.

The ballroom featured these accent pieces, to share the spotlight with the bride's crystal tree with white branches.

Last, but not least, the fabulous cake by Tinkers Cake Shop! The perfect cake for this perfect wedding.

A tent outside offered dinner guests a place to enjoy the evening air. We included large overflowing centerpieces.

These were an inexpensive option for this fundraiser but still gave the height needed for this big space.

Short pieces filled Sponsor Tables set for 4 guests.

Flowers in the Ladies Room is always a nice touch and always gets noticed as an extra detail.

Wreaths on all the doors welcomed guests to CastlePost.

I love this relaxed picture of the two of them!

The sweet, sweet kids in her ceremony.

Gorgeous shot of the ceremony on the lawn of The Carrick House.

Fabulous photo by Willie Wilson Photography. I was in the room when this moment was captured. It was not posed, but a natural exchange of 2 people in love.

Christ the King Cathedral - beautiful!

Fabulous florals by Kim Ballard Ross. Reserve signs by Great Expectations.

Having fun with the bridal bouquet toss - who will be next to be married?Enjoying the Lexington nightscape atop the Carrick House roofdeck. Love this fun feature of this top-notch venue.
