As the daughter of Leontine Linens' founder, Talley grew up in the world of linens and is now a part of the business, so she was destined for a wedding filled with stunning decor, details, and, of course, linens.
Surrounded by 350 guests and an impromptu summer rain, Talley and Will exchanged vows in the heart of Kentucky's rolling hills last June. What followed was a weekend of beauty, family, and tradition, with every linen and detail designed in true Leontine fashion.

vows in the bluegrass
Talley and Will were married at Miller's Run Farm, her late maternal grandparents' home in Georgetown, Kentucky. The historic stone house has long been a cherished gathering place and holds special significance—her parents were married there in 1996. Talley's wedding gown, designed by Suzanne Perron St. Paul, paid tribute to her paternal grandmother's dress, a quiet nod to both sides of her family on the day.
linens for each occasion
Naturally, each of the weekend's festivities called for custom linens. Every piece was meticulously designed by Talley, Jane Scott, and Leontine Linens' talented female-led team at the Eleanor Beard Studio in Hardinsburg, Kentucky, where all Leontine products are done by hand.
The rehearsal dinner featured the handsome Duke monogram embroidered on stately blue linen, while Talley's al fresco bridal luncheon showcased the cheerful Joy monogram on pink, named for her grandmother Joy Hodges, whose dress inspired Talley's own. The Joy motif even appeared on a custom-bound guest book signed by the wedding party. Every gathering offered its own distinctive personality, setting the stage for the reception to come.
"We wanted to create linens for Talley that would speak to the moment but last a lifetime."
- Jane Scott Hodges
nine MONOGRAMS, ONE CELEBRATION
In a dreamy showcase of Leontine Linens' prowess, every reception table featured its own unique monogram and coordinated napkin design. Even the wedding cake was adorned with the same Addison monogram found on the head table linens! The linen colors, including the tablecloths, were carefully selected to complement both the palette of the tent and the party plates from Everyday Elegance used at the reception. The selections also kept in mind the china the couple registered for their home, the Anna Weatherley Exotic Butterflies and Herend Fish Scale Turquoise patterns.

Every detail filled with meaning
From hand-quilted ring bearer pillows to Talley's something blue, her monogram stitched discreetly into her dress, no detail was overlooked. Even the cocktail-hour swing bore the Esther monogram from her bachelorette dinner. The reception tent glowed with custom quilted lavender curtains in Leontine's signature color, seersucker table coverings, and radiant florals. When the evening rain arrived, guests slipped on rain boots and kept celebrating, dancing the night away to the band Simply Irresistible. In the end, every thread told the same story, of family, of love, and of a day made to last a lifetime.
"Looking out at a tent filled with people from the different seasons of our lives, we were overwhelmed with gratitude and love. We were surrounded by those who shaped us, able to honor those who could not be there, and left with heirlooms that will carry the memory of this day with us forever."
- Talley Pike
