Sweet Treats













Happy Monday everyone! We are starting the week off with this gorgeous “Old Hollywood Regency on the Farm” wedding from one of our readers, Ashley. Ashley + Kemble were married on her family’s farm in southwest Georgia. They had lots of help from family as Ashley’s father and Kemble built the ceremony backdrop that Ashley + Kemble designed, and Ashley’s sister designed all their paper goods and signage. Such a beautiful day! Big thanks to the lovely Simply Bloom Photography ladies for the gorgeous photos.

From Ashley, “Kemble and I have an appreciation for both the formal/fancy side and the relaxed, playful side of life. We thought the look of “old hollywood regency” on the farm would capture both sides. The wedding was on my family’s farm in southwest Georgia, which means a lot to both of us. I grew up playing there on the weekends, and Kemble would come down to visit with friends starting when we were in college. It is a place full of years worth of memories for us and for my family. Both of my parents and my grandparents grew up within a few miles of the farm.”

How sweet is their first look! Adore. This is why I recommend a first look – such an emotional moment…

My sister and Belle of Honor, Joni Lay of Chocolate Butterbean and Lay Baby Lay, did all the graphics and signage for our wedding. Everything she designed was a personal and delightful gem, and she helped inspire and secure the look and feel of our wedding. I don’t know what I would have done without her! Also, the backdrop of the wedding ceremony was designed by Kemble and me and hand-built by my dad and Kemble with materials from around the farm. The entrance doors were taken from the old house my great-grandparents lived in. Our wedding would not complete in our eyes without these personal touches.

walking down the aisle

What song did you walk down the aisle to? Postcards from Far Away, an instrumental piano song by Coldplay. It is a beautiful song, and the title is meaningful as Kemble and I dated while he lived in Palo Alto, California and I was in Birmingham, Alabama.
