A casual, fun wedding on the farm was the vision for this 400-person wedding on Prospect Hill Farm in Versailles. This mother of the bride really put her heart and soul into the plans. She meticulously thought out every option, chose wisely and even made some smart last-minute changes. It obviously runs in the family because her daughter, the bride, did the same with fabulous taste!
The ceremony was held on the front lawn. Guests waited in the shade on the side porch with lemonade until we were ready to start the ceremony (which was perfectly planned because by then, the ceremony area was completely shaded). Groomsmen then walked around the circle drive to arrive up front to face dual-officiants. The bridesmaids exited her parent’s house via front porch in order to walk down the aisle. Though you could hear thunder in the distance, not a rain drop fell during this sweet at-home ceremony.
These pictures share only a glimpse during the reception set up phase because it was a super-busy day to get ready. But I hope to share some professional pictures later in the year.
Vendors included: Bryants Rent-all for tables, chairs, tents. Dupree Catering for all food, beverage and service. Doug Clark’s Hot Nuts was our super fun and talented band. Flowers by Joy Hinkle. Bus Services by Wombles. Valet Services by Donnie Harris. Searsucker bridesmaid dresses by Twirl. And of course, wedding planning/coordination by Great Expectations KY.
The reception was held in a renovated tobacco barn. This was the father of the brides' project and it turned out amazing! The smaller side attached room (the second blue roof) was converted to a bar that serviced guests from the inside and outside. I enjoyed visiting the farm for our meetings to see the progress of changes to this barn. It is truly a dad's masterpiece from the heart for his daughter.
Lighting included paper lanterns over guest tables. Fun sunflowers centerpieces echoed plantings outside the barn.
More lanterns hung over the dancefloor. Open barn doors provided our backdrop for the band....just the beautiful blue sky....perfect!
Two yellow and white tents offered overflow seating and guests a chance to get away from the music and enjoy the evening air.
The mother of the bride hand-painted the tableclothes (in 3 different designs!) with her sister. This wedding was definitely a labor of love for the entire family.
A table for guestbooks and a farm cart for gifts made a lovely entrance. Signs were made by the bride's younger sister.
An adjacent red barn held buffet lines for the 400 guests.
Bales of hay and firewood were left where they belong in the red barn. They just added to the ambiance of the bbq buffet.
