We’re back with a few of our favorite reception shots – courtesy of Todd Pellowe – from Jenny + Brenden’s Kentucky wedding at the Yew Dell Gardens. The Wiltshire Pantry served traditional Southern fare (and plenty of Bourbon!) before guests indulged in the a sweets bar from Cake Flour (502 719-0172). Want to see more? Yeah, ya do! Check out Todd’s blog post here!
Describe your wedding flowers: It was important to us that we use local flowers for our wedding. We found Jillian at Fiori, told her our colors and asked to get whatever was local that time of year. The finished product was amazing. She used tulips, cala lilies, peonies and roses to make little bouquets with amazing colors. The centerpieces looked great and added beautiful color to the mason jars they sat in.
Describe your wedding cake: We decided we didn’t want a cake, and instead opted for a dessert bar. The desserts came from Cake Flour, a Louisville bakery that uses all-natural and organic ingredients. We had a variety of cupcakes, tartlets and macaroons. Apparently they were great: we ran out quick!
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Seeing each other for the first time! We decided to see each other before the ceremony and to take pictures so that we could head to the cocktail hour as soon as possible. We were super happy to see each other, and shared a nice personal moment before looking up to see our parents, wedding party, and my uncle looking down and spying on us and taking pictures. So much for our intimate moment! Also, the loud train that went by about 3 minutes into our ceremony made everyone laugh really hard and helped us relax a little.
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We did. Brendan’s favorite line was the first one: “I, Brendan, take you, Jenny, to be my wife, my partner in life, and my one true love”.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? Brendan is starting his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of North Carolina in June, so we have been busy preparing to move to Chapel Hill and into our new house. We really look forward to getting to know the area and spending time with family there.
Congratulations, Jenny + Brendan! Welcome to Chapel Hill. Don’t be strangers, y’all!
Beautiful! I love the tent and hanging lanterns, and the sweets bar looks amazing! Congratulations to Jenny and Brendan.
Such beautiful color!!!
