For July, we are thrilled to feature Adrianna & Collin’s enchanting wedding. Keep scrolling to experience their whimsical celebration as we break down all of the details.

The Wedding Day

Some couples spend months searching for the perfect venue, but for Adrianna and Collin, the choice was written in stone—literally. Saints Peter & Paul Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis was where three generations of Adrianna’s family had said “I do,” and her family’s own limestone carvings are part of the church itself. The weight of all that family history made the ceremony feel even more sacred.

Growing up in her family’s floral business meant her bouquet was extra special—handcrafted by her grandpa and dad with inspiration from her mom’s wedding flowers and even Kate Middleton’s royal bouquet. A handmade rosary from her Godfather’s mother wrapped around the stems completed the tribute. The detail that had everyone smiling? Hand-drawn portraits of their childhood dogs on the cocktail signs.

After the ceremony, they captured photos around downtown Indianapolis before celebrating at the Artsgarden. The glass-filled space glowed with soft blues, golden light, and cascading flowers, while each guest found five sugared almonds at their place—an Italian tradition symbolizing health, wealth, happiness, family, and longevity. The bridal party looked dreamy in ice-blue gowns from Bella Bridesmaids.

Alison Mae Photography just got us,” Adrianna says. “She and her husband really listened during our planning meetings, kept us relaxed all day, and captured everything—the big moments and the tiny ones too.”

Their Favorite Moment

 

For Adrianna and Collin, magic struck after all the celebrating was done. “Our DJ suggested everyone step outside so we could have one last dance—just the two of us,” Adrianna says.

They chose “Make a Memory” by Bon Jovi—their song from way back when they were just dating. There they were, swaying together with all of downtown Indianapolis twinkling below them through those gorgeous glass walls.

“After this whole incredible day of celebrating with everyone we love, we finally had this perfect quiet moment,” she continues. “Just us, our song, and the city lights. It was like the whole day just settled into this one beautiful memory we’ll never forget.”
