This couple...I couldn't adore them more! Kasey and Mark work in the medical field, so you could imagine how life pivoted quickly for them in 2020. Not only were they working in the epicenter of the Covid pandemic, they were also smack dab in the middle of planning their wedding. With the tremendous help and guidance from their planner Emily at Emily Ventura Designs, they quickly switched gears to move their wedding to 2021.

 

This wedding celebration was long in the works, and highly anticipated by their huge guest list of friends and family! They pulled out all the stops to make sure this wedding reception was a memorable one for many years to come.

 

They set the stage with a custom wedding invitation suite infused with Soft Ivory and Lavender colors, along with Gold metallic accents. Their marble patterned envelope liner kept things unique and fun, with the invitation card itself featuring more traditional calligraphy-inspired fonts and a classic monogram.

 

 

 

The couple made sure to still have fun on their special day, despite mask mandates still being in place due to a rise in Covid cases. I adore them so much!

 

 

If you haven't visited the Indianapolis Central Library, it's a beautiful piece of architecture in our historic downtown landscape.

(and if anyone has a wedding coming soon the Indianapolis Central Library, I am dying to do a fun sketch of it! Let's make it happen!)

 

 

 

 

Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the south atrium of the library. Their seating assignments were displayed in the form of library cards, alphabetized in a vintage library card catalog cabinet. For a wedding taking place in a historic library, is there any other way to do a seating card display? This is probably my favorite stationery from their big day!

 

 

Knox Florals graced every square inch of the library with her gorgeous blooms and arrangements! These marble urns at the front of the library were the inspiration for the couple's wedding invitation envelope liners. It was fitting that they made sure to create focal points in them during cocktail hour. So beautiful!

 

 

Guests enjoyed champagne upon their arrival to the wedding reception. Each glass was meticulously placed on a custom boxwood champagne wall and adorned with a gold mirrored acrylic drink stirrer, etched with the couple's modern monogram. Cheers to a beautiful champagne greeting!

 

 

 

 

One request the couple had for their wedding stationery is that the wedding day details are a smooth transition and mimic the look of the wedding invitations. To do so, we pulled over the same Soft Ivory cotton cardstock and infused plenty of gold metallic details.

 

Each guest was given a nicely bundled duo of cards at their place setting. The top card featured a lovely lavender shimmer cardstock bookmark with the couple's monogram, with the evening's order of events on the back. A bookmark for a library wedding...how perfect, right? =)

 

Removing the gold geometric paper clip and monogrammed bookmark revealed a menu card for the evening's dinner details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another fun design that came to life for the evening are these garden floral boxes, custom designed and created by Keatha at Knox Florals. (She rents these out, so be sure to get in touch with her if you love them for your special day!)

 

The four garden floral boxes surrounded the dance floor. To make the dance floor feel more custom, I provided laser cut monograms for the front of each box. These were laser cut from birch wood and were finished with Gold metallic paint. I used 3M strips for easy installation and seamless removal.

 

 

 

 

I may have been a little teary eyed when this wedding day came and went. shed some tears when this one was over. These two are the sweetest and kindest couple, with the most beautiful wedding vision. They were a dream to work with and we wish them the very best! Congrats, Kasey & Mark!

Don't you love the perfect balance of modern design and soft, romantic details? The traditional black & white colors are a perfect compliment to this classic, elegant wedding. The thin border on the invitation, paired with the simplistic fonts, creates an overall modern aesthetic. The invitation pieces were stacked and bundled in a Champagne metallic paper band with the couple's monogram printed in black. The invitation envelope was lined in the same shimmery Champagne paper to elevate the stationery aesthetic.

 

 

 

 

As soon as I saw their wedding day photos, I was swooning over Keely's bouquet! It is the perfect blend of white and greenery for a modern Spring wedding in the Midwest. Bella Sorella Floral is the floral designer behind all of Keely and Jeff's gorgeous wedding bouquets and centerpieces. She is so incredibly talented!

 

 

 

One of the best features of Newfields is the stunning gardens - a perfect spot for your post-wedding photos (and a popular spot for Indianapolis engagement photos)! The foliage, the architecture around the Lily estate, the perfect afternoon lighting....the photo opportunities and locales are endless. Ivan & Louise captured the most incredible photos on the Newfields property, it was hard to narrow it down to our favorite. (To see more, be sure to visit Ivan & Louise's blog recap of Keely & Jeff's big day!)

 

 

 

The beautiful thing about the Deer-Zink Pavilion at Newfields is that it's a neutral canvas for wedding decor. The walls are a combination of wood and soft white tones, and the natural lighting is abundant. Deer-Zink Pavilion is one of our favorite spots for a wedding reception in Indianapolis. If you're currently engaged and looking at venues, this spot should definitely be on your list to see!

 

 

The couple chose a combination of traditional round tables and long farmhouse tables for their wedding reception layout. The place settings were set with lovely clear charger plates rimmed in gold, with white napkins resting on top. The couple then had custom monogram menus tucked into each napkin, with a sprig of greenery accompanying them. Place cards lay flat above the charger plates, with silk ribbon tied on the side. The place card ribbon colors alternated between blush, white, and taupe - each ribbon color designating the guest's preselected entree.

 

 

The wedding table numbers were laser cut from white acrylic and adhered to wooden blocks painted in Army Green.
They paired perfectly with the guests white and green wedding table decor. These were so fun to create!
(We loved them so much, we now offer these custom wood block table numbers in our online shop!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keely & Jeff, you showed so much patience, class and grace as you pivoted your wedding plans and navigated alongside all of your wedding vendors through the Covid pandemic. It was an honor and a joy working with you! Your special day will forever be one of our favorites for so many reasons. Congratulations, again!

Scottish Rite Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis is the ideal backdrop for a clean and classic wedding style - and it was the perfect setting for Allison and Geoff's Spring wedding day!

 

This couple originally planned to tie the knot in 2021, but quickly pivotted when the mask mandates were holding strong. They rescheduled their wedding date gracefully, so that all of their guests could celebrate comfortably. We have had a blast working with this lovely couple & were celebrating big when they finally were able to celebrate their long awaited nuptials!

 

 

For their custom wedding invitation suite, they wanted to use a soft Ivory cotton paper for all pieces. We then printed all text and graphics in a metallic Gold thermography raised ink (this is similar to the old-school engraving print method). They selected a calligraphy "H" monogram to use throughout the invitation suite and on the custom Gold wax seal, which embellished the vellum folder that surrounded the stacked invitaion pieces. The wedding details card featured a custom venue sketch illustration of the Scottish Rite Cathedral facade. We finished the invitation card with a Taupe matte paper backer, adding extra thickness and elevating the look of the invitation card above the other pieces.

 

 

 

We can tell by their wedding party photos that their friends and family were just as elated to see this day finally come! Covid was not stopping this couple from having the wedding day of their dreams. Their bridal party members were all dressed in black, emphasizing the classic elegance of their wedding day. We love how beautifully an all-black attire wedding party photographs! Allison and Geoff's wedding photos will be absolutely timeless.

 

We also need to give huge accolades to the best wedding floral designer in Indianapolis - RK Florals! The bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres, the wedding reception centerpieces, the floral accents around all of the signage and wedding ceremony entrance....Robyn knocked these designs out of the park! Every blooom and arrangement was breathtaking.

 

 

For their wedding reception entrance, the couple chose a traditional white seating chart with gold matte lettering. Guest names were alphabetized with their table numbers adjacent to their names. Alphabetizing your guests' names on your seating chart is to way to go - they can find their seating assignment with ease & quickly move on to cocktail hour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This wedding rounded out our last of the Covid pandemic wedding reschedules. These couples have been extra special to us, to say the least! We are so grateful for their grace and flexibility through the uncertainty surrounding events in the presence of Covid. Allison and Geoff, you will always hold a special place in our hearts! Congratulations!
