Private Residence Wedding: Lauren and Ryan

Lauren and Ryan’s wedding was over a year ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday! Lauren and Ryan are dear friends of mine from Indiana University, and I was so honored and excited to be a part of their wedding day.

Lauren and Ryan’s wedding took place right on her grandparents’ property in Westfield, Indiana. Lauren always dreamed of having her wedding at this location so the personal ties made the wedding weekend even more special. Lauren and Ryan’s families showed so much love and support during the wedding planning process and wedding day itself. Lauren’s uncles designed the menu, and her father was up bright and early to be a part of the set-up process.

The ceremony took place outdoors right next to her grandparents’ home. Lauren pulled up to the ceremony site with her dad in her grandfather’s vintage red Lincoln. The look on Ryan’s face when he first laid eyes on his soon-to-be new wife was a moment I will never forget!

After the ceremony, guests gathered around the pool and enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before heading into the tent for dinner and dancing. The tent was absolutely stunning, decked out in elegant white, soft grays, and accents of peach and green.

It was a perfect wedding day from start to finish, and I wish Lauren and Ryan many, many years of love and happiness! I am so lucky and excited to be a part of the maid of honor’s wedding this August and the wedding of another bridesmaid’s brother in May!

Museum of Contemporary Art: Pooja and Chris

Every time I met with Pooja and Chris leading up to their big day on September 28th, it was so clear how in love they were which made me all the more excited to be a part of their special day.

They’re both big fans of modern art, so the Museum of Contemporary Art was the ideal setting for both their ceremony and reception. To keep with the theme of modern art, we stuck to linear elements with the table settings. There were two long King’s tables, that each accommodated 66 guests, situated in the center of the two featured art galleries at the MCA.

Down each of the long tables, Sprout brought Pooja’s vision of modern elegance to life. The flowers and decor stayed true to the minimalist and sophisticated theme. The color scheme included bright green, ivory, blush, and gray which we situated in a line on top of a gunmetal gray runner to create a striking line down the long table.

In addition to incorporating the art into their wedding day, Pooja and Chris also made the menu a priority. Wolfgang Puck Catering customized the menu, all the way down to the cake. Since they couldn’t decide on one cake flavor, Wolfgang Puck Catering created a plated trio of cakes to bring in all of their favorite desserts: mini carrot cake, banana cake with chocolate ganache filling, and strawberry tart with pistachio crust.

Chris designed all of the paper goods – everything from the invitations to the menus and programs. He even created a personalized CTA rail map itinerary that was attached to each of the guests’ welcome bags. He went the extra mile to create individual menu cards for each guest. When each guest sat down, the menu in front of him or her included their name, their placed card number, and listed out the specific entree that they selected. It was such a great way to utilize Chris’ talent and to make the guests feel special!

The entire wedding was beautiful and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with this couple. I still can’t get over Pooja’s Nicole Miller wedding dress, the grand exit among sparklers, and the vintage white Bentley that they rode off in at the end of the evening!
