The Wedding Story of... Lindsay & Eddy Lux

a circle city celebration

Lindsay Grace and Eddy Lux met while volunteering at a young professionals event at City Market in Indianapolis. They had a moment right out of a Hollywood romance as they kept sneaking glances and smiles. They met for a drink at the end of the evening, exchanged numbers and had a date the next weekend.

 

 

The proposal 

The proposal took place in the pouring rain under the same tree at the Indiana State Fairgrounds where Lindsay and Eddy had their first date. “I stepped in a huge puddle getting out of the truck as he convinced me to take a selfie under the tree,” Lindsay says. “Of course, I didn’t care about the rain after he got on one knee and I said yes.”

 

 

the dress

Lindsay did not have one of those TV moments where she just knew a particular dress was “the one.” Although her preconceived notion was lace with beading, she ended up with all tulle. It wasn’t until her wedding day that she felt certain she had made the right choice. 

 

 

Special Moments

Both of the bride’s parents attended Louisiana State University and the bride’s father’s college band (the Bill Grace Band) played at the wedding. Both toasts mentioned Lindsay’s 14-year-old cat “Buddy” who seems to be everyone’s favorite cat. 

 

 

the ceremony

Fulfilling a dream of getting married in the Artsgarden (listed as one of the top 22 “Coolest Places to get Married in America” by BuzzFeed.com) with the City of Indianapolis as the backdrop, Lindsay opted for lots of lanterns and pillar candles to warm up the space. The couple had a mix of traditional vows and ring exchanges with a more modern reading, and the groom’s close friend officiated. Tall white trees were suspended with dangling crystals and orchid heads, adding drama and glamour. 

 

 

The Reception

With most of Lindsay’s family living in the South, the elegant Conrad Indianapolis provided a convenient location for family members who had never experienced winter conditions before.

 

 

The florals 

The bride’s bouquet was brimming with hydrangea, lisianathus, mini calla lilies and white Phalaenopsis orchids. The bridesmaids carried a similar style bouquet with pale blue and blush accents with delphiniums and tea roses. Stems were tied with a black satin ribbon.

Whites, ivories, metallic colors and soft pastel tones made up the color palette for the reception. More tall trees and lanterns completed the winter wonderland feel.

 

 

Advice from the bride

 “If you aren’t getting married in a church setting, I would highly recommend asking a friend to marry you. It makes it much more personal not only for the two of you, but for the guests as well.” She also recommends tackling the thank you notes right away and completing about ten per night. 

 

 

What we love

At the reception, the bride’s sisters read a poem they wrote about Lindsay and Eddy first meeting, dating and getting engaged, adding a sweet and unexpected touch to the toasts.
