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!

Our signature invitation design style is classic and elegant, with unique details to make your invitation suite an original.

 

This signature style of ours paired well with Mary Kate and Collin's wedding day paperie vision. Their custom wedding invitations featured incredible details: thick white cotton cardstock, black raised thermography printing, a unique and delicate invitation border, a chunky Yellow Gold silk ribbon, and a custom monogram printed on their envelope liner. 

 

 

The bride's parents were hosting the wedding, so they opted for traditional wedding invitation wording. To continue the traditional wedding invitation style, they gave guests a classic response card and envelope for them to return their RSVPs via mail. 

 

 

 

 

The wedding party chose to take their group photos at the bride's childhood home. Isn't the Etling estate lovely? What a perfect spot for wedding day photos! The brides wore black dresses and held all-white bouquets to match Mary Kate's bouquet. They all wore their hair down for an effortless bridal party look.

 

 

 

 

 

The full mass Catholic wedding ceremony was held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Terre Haute, Indiana. This historical church was established over 175 years ago, and has been in it's current building since 1910.

 

Guests were given a folded wedding ceremony program upon arrival. The wedding program booklet included details about the  full mass wedding ceremony, including congregational responses and hymns used throughout the wedding ceremony. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon their exit from the wedding ceremony, guests waived pretty white ribbon wands. They made for such lovely "grand exit" photos! Following their exit, the bride and groom hopped in the family's white Mercedes convertible and made their way to the wedding reception.

 

 

A trolley service awaited guests as they exited the church. The trolleys transported guests to the wedding reception held at The Country Club of Terre Haute. 

 

 

The Country Club of Terre Haute's ballroom was dressed up with elegant white draping along the ceiling, and white hydrangeas hanging from all of the gold chandeliers. Each table featured either a tall or short full hydrangea floral centerpiece. 

 

 

Each guest's place setting was marked with a personalized place card. The borders varied on each card and denoted the guest's pre-selected meal choice (one line for beef, two lines for chicken, no line for vegetarian). This is our go-to meal coding technique for place cards - it's super easy for servers to see, and guests are none-the-wise about the design variations!

 

 

Some may not know that Collin played college basketball at Indiana University! It was only fitting that his custom groom's cake was decorated with an IU Basketball theme.

 

 

Table numbers were printed on White cotton cardstock and framed in Gold floating glass frames. They were the perfect compliment to the other Gold on the table, such as the gold flatware and gold rimmed charger plates.

 

 

Upon being seated, guests received a custom menu card tucked into a White napkin. The menu was designed in fonts to correspond with their wedding invitations, and was printed on our signature White cotton cardstock. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was such an honor to work with Mary Kate and Collin on their custom wedding stationery! They were so laid back and easy to work with, which of course made the design process a breezy one. Wishing them both the best & we hope they enjoy their happily ever after!

In my opinion, the first weekend of Fall is the perfect time to host an outdoor wedding in Indiana! The weather is still warm, but the foliage is starting to turn. The evening has a slight crisp Fall chill to it, but the sun still sets at a reasonable hour. The month of September will always be a favorite of mine for many reasons.

 

Kiera & Eric also share this same sentiment, as they chose the first Fall weekend of 2021 to tie the knot! I'm so excited to finally share their wedding photo recaps with you on today's blog. 

 

 

 

The happy couple set the stage for their wedding day with the prettiest custom wedding invitation suite. Each piece was flat printed on Soft Ivory cotton cardstock, featuring easy to read classic fonts and calligraphy for their names. Their details card featured a custom floral botanical sketch on the back, and the response card was paired with the softest Taupe colored envelope. The pieces were stacked and bundled with a Light Beige hand dyed silk ribbon, embellished with a laser cut vellum tag with a flat printed vintage-inspired full monogram.

 

 

 

Their wedding was held on a private estate in Zionsville, Indiana. The couple prepared for the day inside the estate's beautiful home, and shared their first look in the ground's lush gardens. The garden boasts the loveliest greenery that scales the exterior walls of the home. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The wedding party then made their way through the lovely, lightly wooded area that lines the edge of the property. The natural afternoon sunlight made for the perfect setting for their wedding party photos! 

 

 

 

 

The wedding ceremony took place inside a beautiful barn that sat at the top of a hill on the estate. A graveled path and a charming old wooden bridge led the way to the barn, with wild flowers lining the path. A light Beige wedding ceremony program card laid atop each guest's seat. And the aisle was lined with greenery and white florals, which paired perfectly with the wooden guest chairs.

 

 

At the entrance of the barn stood a custom arch wooden sign with white printing. The sign featured custom spot calligraphy for the couple's names, along with hand drawn flowers to match the botanical elements on their wedding invitations. 

 

 

 

The interior of the barn was intentionally designed to host small events. We love how perfect the lighting is! There is no shortage of windows, allowing for the most divine natural light to pour in during the afternoon hours.

 

 

 

 

The beautiful barn on the private estate served as the perfect backdrop for their "grand exit" from the ceremony. Guests lined the stone pathway as the happy couple made their way down the hill, towards the tented reception.

 

 

Following the wedding ceremony in the barn, guests made their way down the hill to the tented wedding reception on the main lawn. A large arch wooden seating chart stood at the reception's entrance as they entered for cocktail hour. We especially love the heading the couple chose for their seating chart: "Our Favorite People." Their love for their family and friends was abundantly shown throughout their wedding day and all of the extra special touches they included.

 

 

 

Guest tables were draped in a Soft White linen and accented with wooden chairs with ivory cushions. To bring in soft touches of color and dimension, each place setting was made up of clear glass chargers with gold rims, Mauve satin napkins, and hand custom cotton paper menus. The oversized menu cards featured hand torn deckled edges and a fun calligraphy menu lettering motif.

 

 

 

The center of each table featured a low laying floral centerpiece with greenery and white florals, beautiful candlelight, and wooden table numbers that mimicked the size and shape of the couple's large wooden wedding signs.

 

 

 

 

Even Kiera and Eric's wedding cake mirrored the classic & effortless style of the wedding reception. The crisp white buttercream on was adorned with simple greenery and and dainty white roses. The wedding cake served as the towering centerpiece of the head table. 

 

 

 

 

This wedding and it's overall ambiance is one of our absolute favorites to date. No muss, no muss. Just natural, clean and classic! Kiera and Eric were the sweetest couple, and had a very clear design vision. They were a dream to work with! We are so thrilled to see how beautifully their wedding day turned out. Sending our best wishes to the newlyweds!
