A family wedding in Kentucky

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!

Brince and Laura Lyn's Wedding Weekend

The only thing better than enjoying your own wedding weekend: having a ball at your brother's! 

This past weekend was a three day festivus toasting the happy couple! From the bridesmaids' luncheon to the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day/ceremony/reception and to the brunch on Sunday - it was absolutely wonderful. Full of details, family, friends, thoughtfulness, and LOVE.

We were blessed with the most gorgeous weather too...who's ever been chilly in August? It was SO NICE!

Brince and Laura Lyn have had the most fun engagement filled with parties. It was lovely to see how many people wanted to celebrate with them. Now, they're recuperating from their 9 months of planning the perfect wedding in Antigua. I'm so jeal.

Anywho, I am back home and loving seeing all the pics on Instagram and Facebook - the hashtag #mcleodcoodywedding has some great pics for all you Insta-users. :)

I didn't take that many pics of the weekend - it's hard to do being so busy and having a 3 month old in your arms - but here are a few from the weekend, mostly mine, some stolen from FB. 

Here's the bevvy of invitations for all of the beautiful parties over the course of their engagement! 


And here's a few shots from Friday night's rehearsal:

The bride and her nephew!


Our little fam!




Amy was our coordinator extraordinaire - and Mallory helped her pull it all off!


The church was stunning!



Henry helped Mommy with the flowers for the rehearsal dinner!


A snippet of the paper suite I designed for the dinner...more on Bellissimo and Bella soon...promise.

The bridesmaids' luncheon was held at Twin Oaks - it was so gorgeous!

The wedding ceremony and reception were glorious! LL outdid herself with every wonderful detail!


Me and my little one! He was caaaa-ute in his white linen outfit.



My mom looked ah-mazing!


Lila Jane did such a fantastic job!


floral loveliness!


Picture time!






Love these two!


LL looked like an angel! 


Her happiness with Brince is heartwarming...they're precious to watch!



The event barn was impeccable!


Stay tuned for lots more details on Bellissimo and Bella ASAP!
