We love the classic, elegant style of this wedding. From the tuxes and bow ties, to the bridesmaids dresses and the colorful bouquets from A Perfect Posey, to the timeless and beautiful bridal gown from Klienfeld.

From the Bride:My mom gave Rayna a budget to work with, and Rayna did a great job of picking out details, decorations, and vendors that fit into the budget. She always gave me options along the way, but the options were never outside the reality of what we could afford. To me this was one of the MANY reasons why Rayna was so great. Without her expert guidance, my wedding would not have turned out perfect.

Horses play a huge role in their lives, so it was only right that their wedding had several horse themed items such as the horseshoe shaped escort cards that doubled as plantable seeds, the horse and jockey shaped groom's cake, the bluegrass music played during cocktail hour, and the classic Kentucky Drink - the Mint Julep.

Advice from the Bride:Although, I absolutely loved how Ana did my hair, I wish I would have done an updo instead because my long hair became very warm during the warm Kentucky evening.
