The Best Midwest Wedding City 2020: A Crawfordsville Cover Shoot with Modern Bohemian Style

Chrysa Keenon |  June 8, 2020

This town might be small, but the ideas and hearts are big! Crawfordsville, Indiana took home the prize of being named the Best Wedding City of 2020 in WeddingDay's very own contest last year. The locals rallied together to show their love for their hometown, bringing us to this quaint town to host this exclusive cover shoot. The team of local award-winning vendors were excited to share their love and talent for their hometown of Crawfordsville. “We pulled inspiration through local vendors and their aesthetics,” says Crawfordsville wedding planner and florist, Vanessa Rische, owner of Copper Jade Events & Design. Vanessa and the team wanted to incorporate some West Coast trends to showcase a few unique details you normally wouldn’t find in a barn wedding. Captured by Crawfordsville photographer, Abbey Elaine Photography, this cover shoot pushes the boundaries to create a Southwestern “Modern Boho” barn vibe you won’t find anywhere else.
