Kellie and Michael's Romantic Louisville Wedding

From the Bride: Working within the wedding industry over the past seven years, I thought surely planning my own wedding would be a piece of cake, when in fact it made things a little harder. Everything seemed so over-done in my eyes—I’ve seen it all! That’s why I tried my best to create a very unique wedding. Michael & I met on Match.com over three years ago. We were each other’s first date for the rest of our lives! I moved to southern Indiana where Michael was from and where we started our next adventure--it made perfect sense to have our wedding in Louisville where we were building a life together.

Making our wedding the most unique was truly my inspiration, down to every detail. I made sure to get the best vendor team! Dreaming of a late fall wedding, I chose jewel-toned colors for the dresses and my color palette. Each bridesmaid wore different color & style dresses, while my sister and my mother both wore sequin dresses. The groomsmen had little hoop boutonnières and the bridesmaids had so much fun with their hoop bouquets—which was my absolute favorite detail! My next absolute favorite was my dress! I wanted something with lots of layers. A dress that would flow beautifully in the wind...and we got the windiest day of October! Having both my parents walk me down the aisle was one of my favorite moments along with taking bridal photos at the Heigold Facade. Michael's favorite moment was seeing me walk down the aisle.

Looking back on our magical windy day, I wouldn’t change a single moment. It turned out more perfect than I ever could’ve imagined.
