Their ceremony was garden inspired. Ashley walked down a long white aisle bordered by pink and white rose petals. The alter was adorned with green, white, and pink arrangements and the couple exchanged vows against a trellis wall with greenery. Rob and Ashley originally planned to get married outside on the lower terrace, but rain threw a wrench in their plans and a backup space was used instead. An alternate space was also used for their cocktail hour, originally to be held on the upper terrace outside of the café. Guests made their way to Rapp Reception Hall, close to their ceremony location, for cocktail hour.

Ashley and Rob made their grand introductions down the main staircase of O’Bannon Family Great Hall. This stunning entry was perfectly complimented by the large Indiana obelisk in the middle of the space. Ashley’s father welcomed all of their guests and then the couple cut their stunning four tier cake, iced in white chocolate buttercream with rustic lines and rosettes.

After the entrée was served, champagne was poured for toasts. Ashley and Rob were celebrated with the best man, mother of the groom, and two maids of honor. It wasn’t long before dancing began. Ashley and Rob shared a beautiful first dance together and then followed suit with special parent dances before they invited all of their guests to the dance floor.
