Today the floral spotlight is on Courtenay Lambert Florals.  When I saw these images, I could not wait to post them!  I love the casual elegance to this wedding.  Courtenay’s bride, Jasmine, took some time out to share with us about her big day – take it away, Jasmine!

Zach and I met when we were seven years old.  We went to every school dance together, every prom, etc.  We went to college away from each other and after a year, came back to northern Kentucky to be together and finish college at home.  What was most special to us about our wedding was having everyone we loved present.   We were also delighted by the effort and personalization given by family and friends.  From my mom, dad, and uncle to others who really put their heart and soul into much of the wedding concept, we really feel like their efforts brought together an event that was uniquely ours and it personally touched us both. And that we were able to share the day with our friends and family in such a beautiful and intimate setting as the Inn at Oneanta, really made it a unique and special experience for us as well as our guests.

We also could not have pulled it all together without the help of our fabulous vendor team.  Thank you!!!

What we and our guests liked most about our wedding was that it felt very well put together, but it still had a casual vibe.  Everyone loved the retro candy buffet.  They loved that the look and feel of our event kind of felt like going back in time, and captured a sense of nostalgia with an elegant vintage feel.
