This darling couple has a special place in my heart! I'm so excited to share with you their wedding day in downtown Indianapolis.
 
Jessica & Ben were another couple that originally planned their nuptials for 2020. As Covid ramped up and placed limits on wedding guest attendance, the couple ultimately changed course. They wanted to ensure they could celebrate their wedding with their full guest list of family and friends.

Their original wedding invitation suite was a traditional pocketfold with a silk ribbon and monogram wax seal closure. The change in wedding plans yielded the need for a new wedding invitation suite altogether. The couple wanted to set this one apart from the original, so we dreamed up something new!

The crown jewel of their custom wedding stationery was their beautiful custom wedding monogram. This was the center of their design focus, with all other pieces following suit. We used their monogram on their custom oval wax seal (stamped in a gorgeous shimmery Pearl colored wax!), as well as at the top of the invitation card itself. We wrapped all of the invitation pieces in a shimmery vellum paper, held closed by a Mauve silk ribbon and that beautiful aformentioned wax seal. It was absolute perfection, and a perfect precursor to the wedding celebration to come.

Both the wedding ceremony and wedding reception took place at The Grand Hall at Historic Union Station in downtown Indianapolis. The day was perfectly planned by the team at Boldly Chic Events. Florals were provided by our talented friend Keatha at Knox Florals.

The bride had a very specific vision for her seating cards - tented cards with guest names printed on front, and their signature Mauve flourish pattern (what we used inside their invitation envelopes!) printed inside. We love how this subtle detail added a hint of Mauve to their seating card table.

Their wedding cake was designed by a local fan favorite, the Cake Bake Shop! We created a laser cut gold mirrored acrylic topper in the couple's custom wedding monogram.

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!

We're throwing it back to 2021 today, and reminscing about Keely & Jeff’s modern Newfields wedding. This wedding day was such a fresh & fun Spring wedding to kickoff the 2021 wedding season!
 
They had originally made plans to tie the knot in 2020, but quickly pivoted amidst the Covid pandemic. This wedding day was long awaited....and it did not disappoint! The couple chose to have their full mass Catholic wedding ceremony at St. John’s in downtown Indianapolis, followed by a formal wedding reception at Newfields that was infused with beautiful Spring elements.
 
The wedding day was seamlessly planned by Megan at Boldly Chic Events - who we highly recommend, by the way! 
 
For the wedding invitation suite, Keely and Jeff had a few requests - keep things modern in a Black & White color palette, letterpress printing on thick cotton paper, a custom sketch of their wedding ceremony venue, and a card with online RSVP details (skipping the traditional RSVP card and envelope). Here's how their custom wedding invitation suite came together....

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!
