Wedding Palette: Pink & Green

Today we're featuring one of the many color palettes from our Color Palette Inspiration Boards on ClarksvilleBrides.com. Special thanks to Bethany Ann Photography for sharing this pink and green wedding color palette with us. The great thing about using pink and green in your wedding palette is there are SO many floral options for you to choose from. We love how this bride and groom opted for lots of different floral arrangements on their reception tables. The arrangements were paired with different vases, trays, picture frames, etc for a truly eclectic look. We also adore their unique guest book tree! We've previously blogged about their guest tree - click here to check it out!

Wedding Palette: Red & Slate

Today we're featuring one of the many color palettes from our Color Palette Inspiration Boards on ClarksvilleBrides.com. This red and slate gray palette, photographed by Bethany Ann Photography, is SO gorgeous - we just had to share it! While this color palette would be perfect for any December wedding, it's not at all too holiday-themed - so it would be easy to use this palette for any event throughout the year. We especially love the red radio flyer wagon and the bridesmaids' gray dresses paired with their bright red shoes! The red rose centerpieces really pop on the slate gray runners, and even the candy favors & sparklers match the color palette.

Michelle & Shane: The Venue

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Michelle & Shane
Michelle and Shane got married at Sugar Grove Carriage House in Oak Grove, Kentucky. "Our wedding package includes two days, the use of all the grounds, the pergola's outdoor wedding circle and the Carriage House which also has a large new open air covered porch area that is great for the wedding dance...We continue to offer horse and carriage rides for the bride and groom for entrance and exit into the ceremonies or however they desire to apply it. We have tables and chairs for 170 guests and provide the white table cloths with a small laundry fee. Our venue is in the middle of our farm with farm crops all around us, giving it a charming quiet and scenic view well off the road. There is ample parking in front of the farm residence with only a short walk to the wedding area. We are located convienantly between Hopkinsville and Clarksville and Ft. Campbell and to the I-24 Interstate and the hotels at that exit...We are retired farmers and enjoy using our farm grounds now to share with others who desire an outdoor or barn setting for their special wedding day...We offer tours for those who wish to come and preview our Sugar Grove grounds." -Glenda Jacobs, Sugar Grove Carriage House

Here are some gorgeous photos by Katie Wright Photography of Michelle & Shane's first look outside of the carriage house.

Michelle and Shane had their ceremony on the pergola grounds, using the brick, outdoor fireplace as the backdrop. 

There are SO many great places for photo ops at Sugar Grove, including the garden guest house, walking trails around the farm, the Model T, their horses and carriage, and more!

Michelle & Shane: The Photographer

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Michelle & Shane

Michelle and Shane hired Katie Wright Photography to photograph their wedding day. "What a gorgeous day we had for Michelle and Shane’s wedding! It couldn't have been more perfect! Michelle and Shane chose to have a first look ahead of time so we could have their portraits out of the way before the ceremony. We had a lot of fun staging them in the barn. I got a few shots before the big reveal and then Shane got to see his gorgeous bride!" -Katie Wright Photography
