Rustic Industrial SEA SON : Spring

VEN UE:

INDUSTRY Indianapolis, IN

Olivia and Quentin’s wedding venue came to them by chance. In fact, they weren't even engaged when they stumbled upon it! “Late October 2020, a friend of ours mentioned that someone had posted on Facebook about giving up their wedding day/venue space at INDUSTRY,” Olivia explains. "The moment we stepped inside, we knew it was the venue for us!" Inspired by the venue and Olivia's love for rustic décor, the couple's industrial and rustic vision came to life!

The couple was able to create their invitation suite and signage.

“We designed a unique, minimalist program to include the wedding day timeline, fun facts about us and a ‘today in history on June 4’ historic events section. We also included a QR code for the dinner menu and seating chart,” Olivia raves.

legance meets the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year in this Indianapolis style shoot! "My idea was to show off the Pantone color in a luxurious way,” Beth of Beth Waterman Photography explains. Her venue, Ivory Foundry Weddings & Events, was the perfect backdrop to show off her vision, too. Despite its industrial touches, the venue is an excellent spot for a wedding of any theme, especially one of luxury.

Just check out those glamorous chandeliers! The silk gown and white tuxedo jacket help amplify the beauty of the shoot without overwhelming the periwinkle. And we love that so many of the rentals used are part of the venue's own collection!

LE SHOOT Y T

O SI G N C

For WeddingDay’s third annual Style Shoot Design Contest, our participants had the chance to utilize the two 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year in three different themes to bring their shoots to life. The teams were challenged to pair Ultimate Gray and/or Illuminating with one of our preselected themes: Go Wild, Over the Rainbow and Avant Garde. We would like to thank all the participants as picking a winner was a very difficult decision for our team to make!

Along with this year’s winner— who stood out among the rest— our team decided to highlight three other amazing shoots who also blew us away and captured these themes beautifully.

WEDDINGDAY

Making us feel as though we were dropped right into an exotic rainforest, this talented team designed a perfect representation of our Go Wild theme, titled “Urban Jungle Glam”, for Follow Your Arrow Photography to capture.

Despite discussing all the themes with the creative team, Go Wild was the theme that resonated most with everyone. The team raves, “We loved being able to incorporate the wild theme in every aspect—from live snakes to the details on the cake!” They wanted to add glam to the theme and think the contrast between the faux animal pelts paired with the crystal dinnerware brings that glamorous element. The uniquely designed stationery also gives all the wild vibes!

WEDDINGDAY

41

To unify the shoot's theme with the bride, the team wanted her to look edgy. “We went BIG!” they gush. “Our artists added gold flakes and rhinestones to our bride’s face in an animal pattern and finished the look with a smokey eye.” The gown also had to bring the glamour and edge, and the team felt this beaded one from Here Comes the Dress was the perfect juxtaposition to the bold makeup!

42

WEDDINGDAY

The cake from Steel City Bakery was kept rather classic to not overpower the shoot with too many complex details. Pantone's Ultimate Gray was added in the bottom to represent elephant hide.

No jungle would be complete without voluminous plants and colorful blooms! Thode Floral provided moth orchids and anthurium to bring the jungle to life while pampas grass and dried palms brought more of a savannah feel to the shoot. The team also used yellow roses to incorporate Pantone's Illuminating to the look.

With a fun take on our Over the Rainbow theme, Jasmine Norris Photography and Samantha Mitchell Photography brought the colorful vision to life in the form of pastel polka dots. Ultimate Gray and Illuminating peek through in different areas of the shoot; even on the grooms! The team explains, “We loved the fresh colors with the pastel theme and loved that it also showcased the rainbow and the LGBTQ+ community without being the typical bright rainbow colors!”

The Ivory Foundry was the perfect venue for this shoot. With open floor plans to provide space for all of a couple’s guests and large windows to let in plenty of natural light, the team was able to fill it to the brim with light and airy pastel details! The chandeliers overhead helped the team capture the elegant feel they were hoping for, too.

As always, it was the décor and details that really brought this shoot to life. The balloon wall, grooms’ bow ties and stunning centerpieces feed into the subtle polka dot theme. We are also obsessed with the unique cigar lounge and champagne flute wall!

The four-tiered cake is almost too glamorous to eat. We are especially in love with the pastel watercolor design throughout the cake’s icing and those beautiful fondant flowers.

Both the blue and gray suits are gorgeous and look great with the pastel bow ties, but we can all agree the luxurious polka-dot cape on the officiant's suit steals the show. Nothing adds more regality and dramatic flair than a cape!

Theme: Avant Garde

FINALIST

The vision for this shoot came from the traditional use of the venue. Kay from Kay Warner Photography explains, “Avenue 912 is a rock concert venue and I had the idea to create a wedding here that would attract the ‘different’ and ‘off the beaten path’ type of client that frequents this venue. I chose to stay away from anything that was ‘mainstream’ and went beyond any limits of what a traditional wedding looks like.”

Every detail of this shoot was carefully chosen, and Kay made sure she got exactly what she wanted no matter how difficult it was to find them. The mirrored aisle, alternative lighting, smoke elements, drapery and unique glassware all bring this theme together.

Providing the right amount of contrast, the white invitation suite designed by Your Little Details perfectly matches the theme. We love the extra flair the metallic edging adds to the suite!

46

WEDDINGDAY

The dark cake is so elegant! Kay says, “The cake direction was to mirror the dark makeup of the bride.” We are obsessed with the way the square bottom tier contrasts with the classic round top tiers!

“Finding a dress boutique with non-traditional attire was more difficult,” Kay shares. Both of the dresses the team ended up choosing were perfect for the mood they were trying to set. The black dress brings glamour and pushes the limits to what a wedding dress can be while the gray one brings one of the Pantone Colors of the Year into the shoot in a unique way. The faux hawk on the bride and her dark makeup amp up the moodiness!

Theme: Go Wild This exotic bohemian beach elopement was inspired by the complications COVID has brought to elopements. “With COVID, couples have had to forfeit their destination weddings and decrease their guest count. This shoot shows couples the perfect way to celebrate as if you are eloping in the tropics,” Brittany from 1945 Event Co. raves. The creative team wanted to bring the tropics to the beach!

You can’t have a jungle without plenty of leopard print, bold colors and greenery!

The team also wanted to combine multiple textures to the scene to create a fun and inviting environment. One of their favorite designs is the colorful plates and place settings to make an ombré effect as you move down the table.

FINALIS T The dessert table is a highlight of the shoot.

Brittany explains, “There were two specialty cocktails available for guests as well as assorted fun colored macarons, candies and the perfect simple beachy cake topped with a tropical flower for the bride and groom to cut.”

Silk flowers made up the bouquet and boutonnière. Rich tropical greens and white hydrangeas made up both the bouquet and the floral detail on the triangular arbor.

The creative team went a different route with the bridal attire. Instead of a traditional dress, they leaned into the beachy theme with a bathing suit and cover-up! For the bride's makeup and hair, the team kept it fun with waves and bright eye makeup. They also added a flower crown for some of the shots to bring in a more boho feel.

ELISHA KALDAHL PHOTOGRAPHY

The Vision When Miranda Schroeder of Thoughtfully Designed Co. started to dream up this shoot, she wanted to add a fun element to a normally sincere wedding day. “The vision was to bring a fun and lighthearted feel to a very serious occasion. The idea was inspired by the spring wildflowers and a collection of bold, bright images found on Pinterest,” she shares. We think the idea was beautifully brought together by all the amazing members of the team, and Elisha Kaldahl Photography captured all of its stunning beauty!

The Decor “We used a ton of amazing rentals from Violet Vintage,” Miranda gushes. “We used white wire chairs for the ceremony, a diamond ceremony backdrop, hairpin leg table, a mix of eclectic chairs around the dining table and a vintage spindle table for the sweetheart.” Everywhere you look, there are all kinds of pops of color and classic elements. One of our favorites is the yellow vintage couch in the photo lounge!

ELISHA KALDAHL PHOTOGRAPHY

The Venue Biltwell Event Center gave our shoot a unique touch with its various textures and moody elements. From the wooden floors to the brick walls and the large windows filling the venue with natural light, every section of this space adds a different style to the photos. From fun to serious, this venue is perfect for any celebration!

The Looks We used two gorgeous dresses from Sophia's Bridal and Tux for this shoot. "The first dress was a floral embroidered ceremony dress and the reception dress was a convertible gown to tea length dress,” Miranda explains. Fun vintage accents were brought in with the ceremony dress while the reception dress was the perfect length and style to dance the night away! Exotic Perfection’s bold red lip is vintage chic and the bride’s boho low bun hairstyle works beautifully with both looks. We also love the vintage lace gloves and cat-eye sunglasses added to the reception look!

The Florals Taking advantage of every opportunity to bring bright tones into this shoot, Urban Contessa Florals added lots of blooms with color. Along with the green foliage, the centerpieces pop with bright pink and a sunset orange hue. In the photo lounge, yellows and whites are coupled with the mustard couch. The bride’s bouquet and groom’s boutonniere incorporate the same bright pink and sunset orange to bring warmth and fun into the shoot!

The Cake Take a look at that delicious and beautiful cake from Sprinkled With Love! To not distract from the colorful shoot, the three-tiered cake was kept simple. With a basic, white-frosted base, it served as the perfect blank canvas to bring delicate beauty to life.

Miranda added loose, colorful petals to the frosting to keep with the bright and bold theme. We think it is such a fun idea to spruce up a normally classic cake!
