JT and Alayna’s Bradshaw Duncan House wedding was the perfect blend of spring beauty and heartfelt tradition. This stunning Kentucky venue set the stage for a day filled with personal touches, from sipping mint juleps in custom glasses like JT’s parents used at their own wedding, to guests tossing petals from bouquets Alayna’s mom once received from her dad. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple created a celebration full of intention, love, and the timeless charm that makes the Bradshaw Duncan House a dream wedding location.
