I'm always looking for ways to make my business and products more eco-friendly. So it's easy to say this particular wedding is especially near & dear to my heart! 

 

Maggie and Nic wanted to ensure their wedding paper was as minimally-wasteful as possible. I loved their approach, and took this challenge on with pure admiration. For their invitation, we created an invitation suite that was a single folded card. When folded, the card was held closed with clear mailer seals and needed no envelope. The invitation unfolded to reveal a custom watercolor painting of their venue (Artisan Acres) and a detachable response postcard.

 

Maggie and Nic were thrilled on the amount of paper preserved! 

 

 

This earth-friendly day was planned by Lori at Boldly Chic Events - who is always great at translating the clients' personal style into a perfectly curated wedding day! 

 

Sarah Kriner was the talented photographer on-site for Maggie and Nic's wedding day. We are loving all of these dreamy, earthy snapshots of their ceremony and reception at Artisan Acres....

 

 

The wedding party bouquets and reception table centerpieces featured florals that were sourced from Artisan Acres' own floral gardens. The fall tones pair perfectly with the bride and groom's earthy wedding vibe. The florals were picked and arranged by the talented RK Florals, our favorite Indianapolis wedding florist!

 

 

 

 

 

 

To cut back on printing material waste, the couple incorporated hand calligraphy on repurposed elements.

Their welcome sign was hand written on a vintage mirror that the couple will later use in their home. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following the wedding ceremony inside the beautiful Artisan Acres barn, guests were treated to a charcuterie cocktail hour. The delectable spread was fit for old-world royalty! In place of a traditional printed seating chart sign, Maggie and Nic sourced vintage clay pots and hired a calligrapher to write guest names and table numbers on them. They will later repurpose these vases for use in their home. 

 

 

 

 

 

Guests dined outdoors under the loveliest of twinkle lights, as they watched the couple's first dance and cake cutting. Tiny paper place cards adorned each place setting, with repurposed fabric ribbon tied on them for extra color and catering coding (designating entree selections for the caterer's serving staff). 

 

 

 

Don't you love how RK Florals used non-floral elements to add color and texture to the table decor?

What a beautiful way to incorporate all of Earth's beauty into this outdoor wedding reception. 

 

 

 

 

Tables were marked by hanging table signs by Interprintations. The pennant cards featured the table number and menu details, and hung delicately from copper pipe and wood stands. The couple planned to repurpose these stands by passing them along to another married couple to use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope this wedding blog feature gives you some inspiration on how to incorporate Earth-friendly elements into your wedding day!

 

Maggie and Nic are a beautiful couple inside and out, and we especially love their deep adoration for the environment. What a legacy they'll leave for their next generation. Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Leblang!
