August 30, 2024 | justine

When Lindsey and Caleb started planning their wedding, they wanted it to reflect their personalities and passions. They aimed for a vibe that mixed fun with timeless elegance, capturing the shift from summer to fall. The outcome was a Blanc wedding that perfectly celebrated their love and all that is special to them.

They kicked off their wedding day with things they love—Caleb went biking at North Table, and Lindsey had a cozy brunch with the women in her family. To fully enjoy the moment, they took a nostalgic stroll to their favorite bar, where they could just relax. They chose a former machinery factory for their wedding venue and transformed it into a stunning setting. Their outdoor ceremony featured a romantic petal-lined aisle leading to an altar flanked by lush floral pillars, while the reception gallery inside was adorned with rich, colorful arrangements that perfectly complemented the industrial space.

If you’re curious about how to bring your own style and interests into every part of your celebration for a unified and stylish look, you need to check out this wedding. The stunning photos by Junebug vendor Kate Merrill perfectly capture the heart of their love story and the beautiful day they created.

How They Merged Fun and Classic Styles To Create a Blanc Wedding Vibe That Reflected Them

Our vibe reflected who we are: fun, grateful, and classic. We combined a playful yet timeless style with the seasonal shift from summer to fall. Once we decided on this theme, we chose vendors who understood our vision. To stay within budget, we focused on key elements: flowers for me, a DJ for him, and a well-stocked bar for my parents.

A Day Filled with Personal Touches and Cherished Moments

We started our wedding day with activities we love—he biked at North Table, and I enjoyed brunch with the women in my family. Getting ready with my bridesmaids and family was extra special, especially since a friend did my hair and makeup. We took a nostalgic stroll to Don’s, our favorite bar, to relax and soak in the moment. Our friend officiated the ceremony, weaving in stories we shared about ourselves and from our friends. Instead of traditional vows, we made toasts over a table set with family china. Our first dance was a highlight, thanks to the dance lessons we took beforehand. A friend baked our delicious wedding cake, and I surprised my husband with a special song. We wrapped up the night dancing with friends and family, finishing with an energetic last song and a jump around before heading to Improper City for a final, relaxed evening.

Balancing Advice and Personal Happiness in Wedding Planning

Hire a planner, even if it’s just for part of the process. Choose vendors you like, and try not to stress too much. Focus on what matters to you as a couple rather than what others expect. Listen to advice from others, but prioritize your own happiness. While it’s important to consider others’ opinions, make decisions that best sustain your happiness and well-being, and stay true to those choices.

Celebrating Their Love and Commitment Beyond the Wedding

We’re most proud of having each other for life, which would have been true no matter the wedding, but the celebration definitely added a special touch to our love and commitment. Beyond that, flowers were incredibly important to me, and RLYRLY Studio created arrangements that exceeded my wildest dreams. We’re also proud of how great we looked on our big day.

DIY Wedding Details: From Paper Goods to Personal Touches

We handled all the paper goods ourselves, including save-the-dates, invitations, signage, coozie designs, and table numbers. A friend baked our cake, while another friend crafted framed pressed flowers for the seating chart.
