Appreciation seldom settles in a world so finely saturated with excess. It’s the strangest irony: that we should want so badly to absorb all the world has to offer, and in so doing neglect to treasure its true beauty. And so, there is such quiet glory in finding another who, too, values the unseen—one whose gentle paces match precisely to yours.
Our next feature was built around such a couple: a pair of soulmates that revels in the quiet graces of nature, and flourishes beneath the fine skies of simple living. Nestled in the Kentucky foothills and set ablaze by the golden charms of a yearning sun, Richwood on the River offered its teaming landscape for Events Held Dear‘s grand design. Its lush grounds were the loveliest compliment to the impeccably curated blooms from Evergreen Flower Co. adorning this captivating inspiration. Every paper piece and elegant pen-stroke made manifest by Plume Calligraphy gave way to the sweet and sumptuous silks of Stella Wolfe which trimmed its every detail. Our bride, clothed in B. Loved Bridal and adorned with Sheeta Design, captured natural grace with her finest essence and her love in tow. And suddenly, we see a radiant bride & groom enjoying the splendid richness of time so profoundly cherished—and Amanda Olivia Photography was there to capture every wildly lovely moment!
