Whiskey Business: A Modern + Industrial Wedding in the Heart of Bourbon State

Whiskey Distillery Inspiration

Drawing from the colors on the walls, the copper light fixtures, and the history of the Cosair whiskey distillery, Leona Morelock Designs, LLC crafted one seriously cool editorial. Unique, trendy, and modern, the elements of the day were simple, yet striking. Utilizing copper, marble, cement, and slate as a mix of textures, everything tied back to the paired down theme — even the florals! It was strictly no fuss, no color, just greenery, and it worked!

Leona shares The back-story we crafted was for the couple that wants a small intimate wedding with a totally modern feeling. Being from Kentucky, the groom loves good bourbon… So what better place than a distillery?!

We could easily see this theme translating well in a brewery, too! Let’s take a peek at the snaps by Morgan Marie Photography!

The interior was already dreamy with those dilapidated brick walls… But a gray tablecloth, whiskey barrels, and this romantic candlelit tablescape, takes it to a whole new level!

Copper chargers, copper flatware, marble plates, marble escort cards, and concrete bases. How cool is this combo?!

 This confectionary masterpiece by LCD Cakes topped off the day, and we can’t help but ooh and awe over the copper base, too!

Cheers to that!! Thank you to the team behind this “whiskey business” inspiration. :)
