Timeless KY Charm: Lexington Marriott Wedding with Equestrian Flair

A Blue-Hued June Wedding at Lexington Marriott Griffin Gate | Equestrian Elegance Meets Personal Charm

June in Kentucky never looked so sweet! On a sun-kissed summer day, nestled in the heart of Lexington, a love story years in the making unfolded in the most elegant way! The Lexington Marriott Griffin Gate provided the perfect sophisticated backdrop for a wedding filled with heartfelt moments, equestrian-inspired details, and a soft blue color palette that felt timeless and graceful for Lyndsey and Ben.

Lyndsey and Ben’s connection to Lexington runs deep — especially through the world of horse racing (spoiler: Lyndsey works for a news station in Lexington so you may recognize her!). Their first date was covering the 150th Kentucky Derby together for work so it was only fitting that their wedding day beautifully reflected their history with horse racing. From subtle nods to their roots in the equestrian world to the luxurious setting of Griffin Gate, every detail was intentionally woven to celebrate not just their love, but where it all began.

Throughout the day, guests were treated to southern elements — think classic southern florals, horseshoe accents, and even table numbers that were hand designed by Lyndsey. The couple’s commitment to incorporating meaningful, personal touches made every corner of the celebration feel warm and uniquely theirs.

The color story of the day was a dreamy blend of blues and white — from dusty to navy — playing beautifully against the lush June landscape of the Griffin Gate Marriott. Bridesmaids glowed in dusty blue gowns, while florals featured soft ivory blooms with just the right hints of cool-toned accents. Even the stationery suite embraced the palette with watercolor details and equestrian-themed monograms.

Tucked away in one of Lexington’s most iconic locations, the Griffin Gate Marriott was the ultimate choice for the couple’s celebration. With its elegant tent, sweeping views the golf course, it offered both elegance and classic Southern charm. The ceremony was held outdoors under clear Kentucky skies, while the reception sparkled with soft candlelight and lively music that kept guests dancing into the night.

This June wedding in Kentucky was more than just a beautiful day — it was a celebration of history, family, and a shared love for a place and a sport that helped shape their story. With a stunning blue palette, equestrian elegance, and the grandeur of the Lexington Marriott Griffin Gate, it’s safe to say Lyndsey and Ben’s wedding will inspire many more love stories to come!
