Ashley and Ben chose Innsbrook Resort for their venue, and it couldn’t have been set up more picturesque. Read below for a little about the couple, their military wedding after the groom’s deployment, and gain some inspiration for your upcoming event.
Ashley + Ben’s Military Wedding at Innsbrook
High School Sweethearts
Ben and Ashley have a classic and adorable story; they met in high school in 2011. The high school sweethearts fell in love, and knew that they were meant to be! The Rodman’s officially tied the knot in 2015 before Ben was deployed! Of course, a big white wedding was obviously in their future, so in 2021, they put on their wedding best and had their event at the beautiful Innsbrook Resort.
For hair and make-up, they worked with Wentzville House Of Beauty. Ashley was thrilled about how sweet they were to her, and lots of yummy champagne was consumed. She got her stunning pink bridal dress from David’s Bridal. Ashley and Ben also worked with wedding planner McKinley Witbrodt, who is the owner of Elegant Impressions.
A Sunset State of Mind
How lucky was this couple with the natural beauty from the sunset in their pictures? Having that kind of backdrop is something of weather and mother nature coming together for a perfect day. The sunset made all the other details of this wedding pop! We have the arch for the backdrop of the ceremony. These are an amazing 2021 wedding trend that is here to stay. How it frames the couple makes for the perfect setting to say “I do”.
All the other details of this wedding create a very classic and timeless aesthetic. Ben’s military outfit is classic, but also adds a level of uniqueness and prestige! The decor brings out a lot of important touches to who the couple is today. One thing is the cake topper, we cannot ignore it! “About Damn Time” really is a testament to their love story, finally having their dream wedding 6 years later (as they deserve). Subtle touches can bring the most out of your wedding day to make the couple and their story shine through.
