From Ashley Helen Photography

Designing a wedding that speaks to your interests doesn't have to be overly themed or cliche. By choosing a few key elements that speak to your theme, you can then choose more subtle touches that unify a refined style and romantic aesthetic, while still enhancing the overarching motif.

Exuding southern charm and pastoral elegance, this inspirational wedding shoot was designed for the equestrian couple. Subtle nods to the derby were infused through the laurel wreath invitation suite designed by Red Clay Paper, Blanton’s Kentucky Bourbon, trophy cup vases, and touches of brass and iron. Kaley, the beautiful Palomino mare from Rosewood Equine, was draped in a stunning victory wreath and was the absolute sweetest and most fun part of this inspiration shoot.
