For the longest time, David and I were the only married couple in the family, and now, we've had 4 family weddings this year! Finally!
First, it was my cousin Andrew in May, then cousin Fain in August, brother Brince in August, and now cousin Katie this past weekend.
Katie lives in Kentucky where the wedding would be held on her family's farm. My mama, Henry and I made the trek to KY last Wednesday with a car LOADED with flowers - I would be doing the rehearsal dinner, the bridesmaids' brunch, and ceremony and reception flowers. It was cray busy but so much fun!
The rehearsal dinner was held at a local country club. I chose flowers and fern in shades of green to fit the rustic look of the venue.
Guests mingled as the wedding party arrived from practice at the farm.
My cute brothers Brince and Asa
Henry had lots of love all weekend! Here he is with Abbye and David!
{I'll have more details about the weekend on Bellissimo soon}
Henry's pouty face here makes me laugh!
My little family!
Henry did great throughout the dinner, but when his bedtime arrived, he was ready. to. go.
Can't get enough of my two boys!
On Saturday morning, we awoke early! It would be a long day for us all, beginning with the bridesmaids' brunch at my great aunt Bren's home.
Abbye, my mom, my aunt Jill, and I all hosted the brunch for Katie and her maids.
One of the flower girls, Rylee!
The flowers here were a mix of blue hydrangea, pink roses, white lilies and pink alstroemeria.
I was able to sneak a pic of the beautiful dress
We had quiche, fruit, green salad, and biscuits - it was de-lish!
Mango sorbet with raspberry puree was for dessert!
The ladies of our family: Me, my great aunt Bren, cousin Jamie, bride Katie, MOH Tana, Abbye, my mama Joni, and aunt Jill
The ceremony took place at the family farm - Willow Oaks - on a small hill overlooking the pond. My cousin Gracie was in charge of programs!
The reception tent was located inside the riding ring
The horse barn made for beautiful photos!
The rustic details were so fun!
The father of the bride built the arbor for the ceremony. I covered it in grapevine, white lilies and white hydrangea.
Shepherd hooks and flowers lined the aisle filled with hypericum berries, white hydrangea, dusty miller, alstroemeria, hanging amaranth, and yellow roses.
The afternoon was gorgeous! Here's my cousin Catherine, mama, and Gracie overlooking the pond.
It was a tad bright for Henry during the ceremony so he had a pashmina draped over his head....it was so funny, and I am pretty sure he was not amused.
When the sun went down, it was a lovely evening, and ended up being kinda chilly!
The photo booth was a hit! All I had to cover Henry was his little GAP hoodie - didn't quite go with his starched linen Feltman, but it was warm.
He gets lots of attention!
Happy boy!
I thought this was so funny...Henry is clearly in a distressed state with the pashmina blocking the rays. :) But he loved time with his daddy and uncles!
Stay tuned for lots more wedding details on B&B!
