Laura Kupke and Alex Field hadn’t gotten too far into the wedding planning process before they heard about A Wedding Collective, a collaborative wedding giveaway from Katelyn James Photography and Lexington venue Big Spring Farm. They beat out nine other couples by calling on friends, family, local companies and organizations to gather up votes.
“People as far away as California, New York and Florida who we had never even met before were spreading the word to their networks to vote for us,” Laura says.
The hard work paid off, and the couple were able to get their dream wedding—for free. That meant “elevated rustic, romantic, and whimsical, which hints of nautical,” says Laura. A deep berry pink in bridesmaids’ dresses and flower arrangements brought the romance, while rope and net brought in elements that harken to Alex’s vocation as a fisherman.
“There were so many beautiful intricacies from the event,” Laura says, “so choosing a favorite is nearly impossible.”
