Kentucky Wedding with Vintage Charm
I kind of feel like I should have saved today’s first featured Kentucky wedding (yep, we have two) for Valentine’s Day. The colors, the ridiculously in love couple, the warmth and intimacy of the whole wedding. It screams Valentine’s Day. But, isn’t that just what every wedding should be? Absolutely. So, let me introduce to you, Josue and Susannah Galan. The world’s cutest couple with possibly the world’s most lovely wedding.

Everything about the day was perfect…our families together, our cultures mixing, our two lives becoming one and it all happened so beautifully on a hilltop under a very special oak tree in Washington County, Kentucky. Josue Galan and Susannah Marlowe (that’s me) were married August 1, 2009 at 7 pm at my family’s cabin in the country, under the most beautiful old oak tree. I was so worried that it would be painfully hot (August in Kentucky can be miserable) so I ordered wedding fans in our colors for the guests.
My dress. After months of dress shopping, I was one frustrated bride…I couldn’t seem to find the perfect dress! I tried on many that had elements of what I wanted but none that were exactly it, so I decided to have it made! I worked with an incredible seamstress to design my dress, and I got to be part of every step. I got to choose every fabric on it from the lining, to the crinolin, to the silk dupioni and the overlay. Needless to say I finally did have my perfect, one-of-a-kind dress! I wanted my bridesmaids to feel comfortable in their dresses too, especially since each of them had a very different body shape, so we had their dresses made too (by the same awesome seamstress). I ordered one huge panel of their blue dress material and gave it to the seamstress. Each of the bridesmaids went out to find their perfect pattern and took it to the seamstress who then took their measurements and went to work! And if that wasn’t enough, the seamstress also handmade my veil!

Love the bridesmaids' dresses, especially with those shoes! That's really impressive how each dress was handmade. The bride and groom look so wonderful in these pictures, I like the antiqued feel of them.
the red shoes and aqua dresses made a wonderful color combination! one of my all-time favorite color combos -- and i love the bouquets! so different! beautiful combo of gerbera daisies and roses ...
I love the shoes anyone know where I can find something similar??? I need flats to wear for my wedding in April.
More please!
Susannah you look GORGEOUS, absolutely beautiful wedding!!!

This is a GORGEOUS wedding! My boyfriend's family is from Springfield!
Lindsay, the shoes are Calvin Klein...I bought them online from Zappos!

Grooms suits are from Banana Republic...they were a linen cotton blend!
Jess, The florist was Sarah Sizemore...she was fantastic! If her info isn't in the credits I can send it to you!
Could I have the information for Sarah Sizemore? I am looking for a florist for my roomate's wedding in KY. Thanks!
Anne, email me at alumbraphotography@gmail.com and I'll send you her info!
I'm looking into having my dress made as well! You gushed so much about your seamstress, I'd love to have her info. You have beautiful taste!
Susannah - I too love the shoes! The bridesmaids were Calvin Klein, but what were yours? I can't picture myself in anything but flats on my wedding day.
The dress is gorgeous! Who makes it?
Amber, mine were actually Calvin Klein...the bridesmaids were an off brand!
Nicolette and Kelly, my seamstress was fantastic. Her website is www.dannasdesigns.com ...I always thought it would be uber expensive to have one custom made but it ended up being less expensive than lots of the gowns I tried on!
Gorgeous! I love, love, love the ribbon stick idea!!!
I love how the photography has a vintage feel as well - they really picked the perfect photographers to convey the look and feel of their wedding!
Okay, I saw where you talked about how you made the ribbon sticks for your grand exit, but I didn't see any photos of them. Am I missing it? I loved the idea when I read your post... please can we have a link to some pictures? I would LOVE to see how it turned out!
Your dress is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. You should help design others! Also the veil... ah, me love. How did you decide to have two veils? They are both so beautiful!
I would also love to know who did your flowers and where your ceremony/reception site was. Thank you!
BELLISIMAS FOTOS!!
De verdad que fue una boda preciosa que Dios les siga bendiciendo :)
