Lauryn and Zachary’s love story has always been rooted in thoughtfulness and elegance — and their June 2024 wedding at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, Indiana reflected that beautifully. Surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated not just a marriage, but the joining of two lives filled with intention, style, and joy.
 
From the very beginning, their vision was clear: a day that felt timeless, romantic, and deeply personal.
 
 
Nestled in the heart of Carmel City Center, Hotel Carmichael set the stage for this unforgettable celebration. With the guidance of Bridget Davis Events, every detail came together seamlessly — from the five-tier cake to the all-white floral arrangements — creating a day guests will always remember.
 
The Paper Details

Their wedding stationery suite was a true reflection of their refined style. We created a custom invitation suite that featured:
  • A bespoke monogram crest carried throughout the wedding day
  • A fine art illustration of Hotel Carmichael
  • Dusty blue and soft beige hues, paired with elegant calligraphy
  • Stacked cards bundled with chiffon ribbon and a hand-poured gold wax seal
For the ceremony, guests were greeted with program fans on vintage-style wooden handles — a thoughtful nod to (and a way to keep cool on) the warm June day. As guests entered the ceremony space, a custom "Unplugged Ceremony" sign reminded guests to turn off all electronics, so they can be fully present as the couple exchanged vows.
 
 
 
The Design Aesthetic

Their wedding reception leaned into the established aesthetic inside the Hotel Carmichael ballroom - soft whites, grays and delicate ornate elements. With Lauryn and Zachary’s wedding palette of whites and ivories — accented with gold details — the ballroom glowed with monochromatic linens and servingware, lush all-white floral centerpieces by Satin and Stems, and the warm flicker of gold mercury glass votive candles. Their five-tier cake was also a showstopper — standing tall and elegant, echoing the sophistication of the evening.
 
The couple's paperie details included a menu & place card combo (we tied the place cards onto the menu with silk ribbon), and simple (but elegant!) table numbers that were displayed in vintage-inspired gold stands. Their table numbers also featured their beloved monogram crest, tying their signature style into their wedding reception tablescapes.
 
 
The Celebration

The day was filled with unforgettable moments. The ceremony was beautifully accompanied by The Indy Harpist, setting a serene and romantic tone. At the reception, guests danced the night away to lively performances from the Bluewater Kings Band and DJ Mae, with extra fun captured at The Simple DJ’s photo booth. Every memory was preserved through the stunning lens of Danielle Harris Photography and the cinematic storytelling of Dustin’s Vision.
 
A Day to Remember

From the custom stationery to the music and florals, Lauryn and Zachary’s wedding was a celebration of love, style, and intentional design. Hotel Carmichael offered the perfect blend of luxury and charm for their unforgettable day.
