Lexington Kentucky Wedding From Melanie Mauer Photography
We got the sweetest note from Melanie Mauer, one of our Little Black Book photographers in the Kentucky area. She said, “We have heard from so many brides and grooms that your blog has inspired them and provided them with ideas to incorporate into their wedding to make it personal and meaningful. We would hope that some of the wedding images we have captured would be a great addition to this source of inspiration.”
Well, we think that Whitney and Marshall’s Lexington, Kentucky wedding will absolutely inspire you!
What perfect wedding colors for a springtime wedding! The flowers were designed by The Best of Flowers in Lexington. Just beautiful.
The wedding ceremony and reception were held at the Headley-Whitney Museum.
Cute, cute, cute Kate Spade shoes! Whitney’s gorgeous gown was designed by Renella Defina and the bridesmaid’s dresses are by Jenny Yoo.
Whitney and Marshall’s monogram was woven throughout the wedding, a fantastic way to personalize a wedding. LOVE the monogram on their cake!
Very unusual and beautifully crafted place cards …
A little bit from the beautiful bride, Whitney … “Marshall and I actually met at the hospital the day after I was born. Our fathers went to High School together in Lexington and our families have remained close ever since. Our families have gotten together for years at Lake Cumberland but Marshall and I hadn’t seen each other for several years since he was living in Jamaica and I was in Italy. When we did, I fell in love at first sight (reluctantly). It took several years to get on the same continent but it is a blessing to have “in-laws” that we love like family!”
Congratulations Whitney & Marshall!
A huge thank-you to Melanie Mauer Photography for sharing this beautiful Kentucky day!
Oh! And just a quick reminder … you can find many of your favorite shots from Style Me Pretty weddings in our Photo Galleries. For example, if you love Melanie’s photograph of the bouquets (above), you can go into the SMP Photo Gallery by category (flowers) and then click to the last page (photos are loaded from oldest to newest) and you’ll find the beautiful shot of Whitney’s bouquets … along with the color palette! Pretty cool!!
I love the bouquets!
What a cake!! It is magnificent and matches the style of the wedding perfectly.
Love those bridesmaids dresses! Perfectly complimentary and understately beautiful. Very flattering on the bridesmaids too.
Where did you find the precious dog collar?! We don't know any kids so we are planning on using the pups as the flower girl and ring bearer but my little princess is such a tomboy and would never wear a dress...but that collar would be perfect!!!!
Wow. I love the green maid dresses. Melanie is an amazingly talented and super sweet photographer!!
What a gorgeous wedding. The location is so pretty! I love the placecard art.
Everything is just beautiful! Including your website!
Beautiful wedding! Love, love, love the flowers!!!
Love the buckets on the chairs - what a different take.
Those bouquets just jump out at you!! I just love the vibrancy of the blooms and their abundance!! WONDERFUL!
What amazing images! My favorite is the picture of the pug! Adorable! The perfect wedding accessory....
thank you so much for all the sweet comments - this was such a dreamy wedding to attend and photograph and so many of my favorite people to work with were there! john kittinger at best of flowers is amazing as evidenced by the decor! the location, a small decorative arts museum, is tucked away amid rolling hills and horse farms - a quiet elegant setting for a wedding. and martine, whitney's cake designer, is dear and oh-so-talented :)
curtis, there's another fun shot of the pug chomping on the groom's bout and the brides/grooms expression is priceless!
Thank you all for your lovely comments! Most of all, thanks to Melanie and all the others who helped to make our wedding just perfect (for us). Ashley, I got Jezebel's collar at a pet store but you could easily make one with some elastic thread and beads.
