Avri and Timothy’s wedding was the perfect blend of chic city style and timeless romance, complete with personalized details, playful moments, and a touch of old-school glam. Hosted at City View at Sterling Square in Evansville, Indiana, their fall celebration brought together modern design, meaningful keepsakes, and unforgettable fashion.

Avri stunned in a statement gown from The Frock Bridal, known for curating fashion-forward, effortlessly cool wedding looks for the modern bride. Her dress featured ethereal puff sleeves, a flattering square neckline, and a dramatic train that flowed behind her as she and Timothy explored the venue’s historic architecture. Her second look, a sleek satin gown with an open back and halter neckline, carried the party into the evening with sophisticated ease — proving that bridal style doesn’t stop after “I do.” Both gowns reflected The Frock’s signature aesthetic: bold, modern, and undeniably chic.

From the couple’s custom neon heart sign to their personalized champagne tower illustration and playful matchbox favors reading “A | T til death,” every element reflected Avri and Timothy’s fun-loving energy. The delicate white tulip and calla lily bouquet added a minimalist, fashion-forward touch, while vintage gold accents and black tie attire kept things classic.

After a quick, heartfelt ceremony — just under 15 minutes — the couple shifted gears and fully embraced the party. “We had pizza and donuts at our reception, and that completely switched the vibe from sophisticated black-tie event to party night, which was honestly the best way to celebrate our year of wedding planning coming to an end,” shared Avri. Guests spent the evening dancing, sipping champagne, and enjoying late-night bites, creating the perfect mix of elegance and fun.

Sentimental details were woven throughout the day, including having both of their mothers sign the marriage license as witnesses, a coffee table book from Cheekwood Botanical Garden — the place they got engaged — serving as their guest book, and custom cigars for Timothy, complete with personalized matchboxes. The stunning champagne tower became a focal point of the reception and remains one of Avri’s favorite memories and photo moments from the day.
