I am seriously IN LOVE with Nicole and Earl’s wedding from this spring! These two have a love for one another that is unmatched and radiated all throughout their wedding day. Their wedding was at the Ivory Foundry in downtown Indianapolis and it was truly one of the most beautiful and intimate weddings I’ve experienced so far!
When I first walked into the getting ready space I asked Nicole how she was feeling to which she said, “I feel really good and relaxed!” She carried this feeling through her time getting ready and all throughout the wedding day. Once Nicole was ready we went to meet up with Earl for a first look. The two got ready for their wedding at the Hampton Suites in downtown Indianapolis and had their first look on the staircase in the hotel’s gorgeous lobby. From the moment these two saw one another you could FEEL the love in the air that the two share for one another. It seriously radiates between them and made their day that much more special!
After their first look and some portraits, it was time to head to their reception space at Ivory Foundry. Located in downtown Indianapolis Ivory Foundry is one of my favorite venues I’ve been to for an intimate wedding. We may have been running a smidge late to the ceremony as Earl was watching the end of the Purdue-IU basketball game. Not going to lie I’m a huge Purdue fan like Earl so I couldn’t even be mad!
Once we arrived though and their ceremony began the day went on exactly as planned. Earl walked down the aisle with his son Evan which was such a sweet moment. Evan was a huge part of the wedding which was so much fun as he’s a massive part of both Earl and Nicole’s lives. Their ceremony was gorgeous as they kept their decorations simple and let their love be the center of attention.
Once their ceremony was over and we had a chance to get some family photos it was time to celebrate! Nicole and Earl had the cutest set up for their reception space, again keeping their decorations simple which I absolutely loved. The Ivory Foundry actually handled a ton of the key parts of their intimate wedding like décor design, florals, DJ, a preferred caterer, alcohol and the cake which made Nicole and Earl’s lives so easy.
After some speeches and FAB food the two shared their first dance which made my heart melt. Evan even joined in on their dance at the very end! Once the first dance was finished Evan stayed on the dance floor to kick off the rest of the party. Nicole Earl and all their guests danced the night away in downtown Indianapolis and finished off their intimate wedding with a sparkler send-off, the perfect way to end their night!
I had SOO much fun at Nicole and Earl’s wedding! I seriously can’t get over these two and the love they have for each other and for Evan. Their intimate wedding in downtown Indianapolis was so perfect for them, and with the way, they organized their day and selected their venue they were able to truly relax and enjoy every aspect of their wedding day.
