Kentucky Wedding by Bella Grace Studios

This Southern fête is overflowing with pure Style Me Pretty style.  It is simple, sweet and filled with oh-so pretty touches perfectly matched for a Kentucky garden wedding.  There can be no wrong in my eyes when spring flowers like anemones drip from bouquets and centerpieces as they so beautifully do here.  All the classic details with a vintage twist are radiant under the lens of Bella Grace Studios.  Click here to see even more!

Our wedding was a fantastic reflection of our Kentucky past and our Chicago present. Returning to our hometown for our wedding weekend was a great opportunity for our Chicago friends to witness where we grew up and the wonderful things Kentucky has to offer. Events included a day at the races, a barbecue on the family farm, complete with hayride, and an outdoor garden wedding at the historic Bodley-Bullock House.

The wedding afternoon started with a cocktail hour at the Hunt Morgan House, paying homage to Thomas’ grandmother, Betsy Alexander, who at one time tended the gardens. The ceremony, in the Bodley-Bullock garden, was a laid back occasion with a vintage feel. The evening was capped off with a Bossa Nova band at the LexArts gallery. The day could not have been more magical for my husband and I.

    Hello All,

    I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words on the wedding. Diana & Thomas are still on their honeymoon... she can update everyone on the invitations and programs as soon as she arrives home (they were amazing).

    Thanks so much!

    Oh... The table numbers are vintage playing cards that I found on Etsy, they are from the 40s. Hope that helps.

    I'm wondering if you would share where the striped purple ribbon came from. Is it grosgrain? The flowers are truly lovely and I really love those white tablecloths. Such a pretty wedding!!!

    Yes, the ribbons were grosgrain!
