From the Bride: Our focus from the beginning was making sure guests had a great time. That meant making sure we had plenty of good food and drinks going around. Eric (my husband) is from Kentucky and loves bourbon so we made sure to incorporate that in our wedding. All our tables were named after distilleries in Kentucky, and we included a few menu items with local roots like mini hot browns and cake with bourbon buttercream. We set up a Polaroid selfie station with a book that guests could write messages on. We danced our first dance to “Everything “ by Michael Buble.

Bride’s Advice: There’s going to be random, unexpected things that’ll cost a lot more than you thought. So if there are parts you don’t care as much about, don’t hesitate to just cut them out. That way you can free up your budget for things that matter to you.
