Purple Infused Country Wedding At The Inn at Kelly's Ford

via

Wedding venues like The Inn at Kelly's Ford, which offer couples gorgeous rolling pastured grounds, are a total slam dunk when it comes to those seeking a more country flavored wedding like Kelly Downing & Jordan Boze. With such a beautiful property surrounding them, Kelly & Jordan were left to focus their efforts on more important & fun pieces of decor like their program stand, various wood signage & burlap detailing, most of which was hand done by Kelly's father! To inject some vibrant color & spice into the country day, the couple worked with purples, lilac & gray to create a soft royal palette that was the perfect compliment to their lush green surroundings. Virginia wedding photographer Callie Hardman Photography lovingly captured each detail while the couple, along with their son, shared the most intimate of days!

Wedding Buzzwords ~ FUN, Modern Country, Rustic, Vintage, Relaxed, Outdoor, Charming, Fairy-tale

We met in July of 2009 while attending a pool party in Richmond, VA and introduced through one of Jordan's best friend?s Jake Forestiere & have been together ever since they first met. Together as a couple they have attended concerts and shows, love going to the beach, hiking, traveling overseas to Germany and spent a few mini-weekend vacations together. In December of 2012, Jordan proposed in front of South River Falls within Shenandoah National Park while on a romantic weekend getaway at Lydia Mountain Lodge and Log Cabins. Jordan & I with Caleb our son, along with their dog Camden and cat Winnie reside in Williamsburg, VA and are expecting their second child in October 2014. We plan to go back to the Inn on their 1st anniversary in September.

We hoped the overall theme to be a relaxed, outdoor wedding. Although our Reception was inside (good thing because it was 90 degrees+ that day!!), the Inn had a patio and plenty of outdoor space for kids to play and adults to hang out. I really wanted to keep everything all at once place because I don't like to be rushed (and I'm always late and I'm directionally challenged!). The Inn had the most of what we were looking for including rooms at the Inn as well as full houses and cottages for rent so family and friends had space to stay before and after the wedding if needed.

I, surprisingly, was more hesitant than my fiance at the time when we toured the place. I just couldn?t decide what kind of wedding I wanted for a while (I had too many ideas), but we went back again and I fell in love with the landscape and the "country charm." Not to mention, the staff was amazing and open to our ideas more so than at other places. They allowed us to bring in our own personal hand-made touches. Also, the best thing, in my opinion, was to have everyone all in one place- more time and less room for error!

A Little Help From Their Friends ~ Family, friends and the wedding party helped with the decorations and final touches on Friday and Saturday (and even early on Sunday). I'm a visual person, so I had pictures/drawings of how I hoped everything would look and they were able to replicate the ideas and tweak some things to match our day! My father picked up the whiskey barrels and the he actually made the wooden signs, program stand and all the other rustic decor {he used Pinterest for inspiration for the rustic wood designs- not even kidding- and he's a 6ft custom home builder/carpenter- haha}.

Bride's Favorite Moment: "There wasn?t one SINGLE moment (maybe my husband's dance during garter removal- he made a surprise mix tape to dance to that made me laugh so hard), but many during the entire day. I will say that the reception was a blast! I had so much fun with my new husband and friends dancing the night away! Also, my son was a perfect angel during the Ceremony even with the heat- phew!"
