Castlepost & Parasol {swoon}

March 06, 2010


Every Last Detail's 2010 wedding season kicks off on March 27th with the beautifully intimate wedding of Heidi and Barrett at the Castlepost (formerly the Kentucky Castle). I can't wait! What an amazing venue! I'm so glad the rate structure has changed from a few years back so a bride doesn't have to spend a king's ransom to have her wedding there; especially local brides who have grown up watching the venue being built and dream of being married there someday. When it first became available, the wedding community was told it would cost $25,000 to book just the facility. At that price, it was completely out of reach for 99.9% of my clients. However, word on the street is that they've now switched over to a rate package which is more in line with what other high-end, local venues are charging. Yay! Now, we're talking!

Also, over the past couple of weeks I have had the honor of meeting and, happily, becoming friends with, Julie Murphy of Julie Murphy's Parasol. What a treat! Originally from Australia, Julie moved to Lexington a few short months ago from Nashville and opened a wedding design studio on Woodland Avenue. For me, stepping in there is like being a kid in a candy store. I can't explain how beautiful her custom designed couture linen selections are...you'll have to see them for yourself (which you can by popping in her studio during normal business hours). She also has some gorgeous wedding dresses in her shoppe, too. Check it out!

I knew Julie's crystal and lace linens would be perfect for Heidi and Barrett. When you have a wedding in a castle, not just any ol' linens will do. :) Add in Crist Creona's fabulous floral arrangements and these tables are going to be spectacular! Also, Heidi is a self-proclaimed bedazzling genius. She even bedazzled her own wedding shoes!! I can't wait to post pictures provided by Rickerson Photography! When I first saw them I could have sworn they were actual Louboutins.

So, we're gearing up for an incredible wedding season. Every Last Detail has been blessed with another year of wonderful brides and grooms, all who are planning their own gorgeous weddings. Can't wait to happily blog about them, too!
