Ashley and Matthew’s wedding at The Barn at Cedar Grove was an unforgettable celebration of love, nature, and timeless elegance. Their outdoor chapel wedding was absolutely dreamy and captured the beauty of the Kentucky countryside while incorporating personal touches that made their day uniquely theirs. The ceremony was perfectly timed, with a quick downpour just before the big moment, adding a touch of magic. The raindrops, sparkling on the ceremony flowers, contributed to the romantic atmosphere, turning an already stunning day into something extraordinary. Notice the light reflecting off of the fog over the stream behind the ceremony. The ambiance was amazing!

The Vision for Ashley & Matthew’s Wedding

Ashley and Matthew’s wedding vision was one that blended nature with elegant, vintage-inspired decor. From the moment you stepped onto the property, you could feel the magic in the air. The couple chose to hold their ceremony at our outdoor chapel, a beautiful space surrounded by towering trees and lawn of green grass. The rain shower that passed just before the ceremony added a romantic touch, with raindrops glistening on the flowers, which made the ceremony even more romantic.

One of the standout features of their wedding was the careful thought given to every detail. Ashley and Matthew’s families contributed immensely to making the day special. Ashley’s parents searched high and low to collect the beautiful old-fashioned oil lamps that completed the reception tables. These lamps not only added to the rustic charm of the venue but also illuminated the evening, casting a soft, warm glow over the festivities.
