Maria + Tom at Indianapolis Museum of Art

No detail was spared for Maria and Tom’s Indianapolis Museum of Art wedding. Having a vision for your wedding day is important to help anchor your ideas in order to truly create the atmosphere and overall aesthetic you are hoping for. With the help of Plum and Poppy Weddings, Maria and Tom’s vision came to life.

Marrying in the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s gardens was an easy choice for the couple. Surrounded by lush greenery, standing below a beautiful white wooden arbor adorned with floral from Meg Catherine Flowers, and soaking up all the glorious sunshine – the perfect scene was set.

Maria and Tom were introduced into Randolph H. Deer Special Events Pavilion Pavillion, along with their bridal party, with much fanfare and splendor. A welcome and prayer were offered prior to dinner service beginning. Their cake sat front and center in the reception space throughout the meal for guests to admire. Once dinner was cleared, Maria and Tom cut their cake, were toasted by their loved ones, and enjoyed a choreographed first dance together.

We love when couples offer a late night snack to their guests. It’s a unique element that has been a very popular trend throughout the last several years in the wedding industry. It’s the added element that keeps a guest feeling well taken care of and thought of by their host. Late in the evening, a midnight, after dining, dancing, and a late night bite, Maria and Tom were sent off from their reception surrounded by a curtain of sparklers waved by their friends and family.
