As the air turns crisp and the seasons shift, we can’t help but fall in love with the promise of new beginnings. There’s something about fall and winter weddings—the cozy textures, glowing candlelight and sense of celebration—that makes every “I do” feel even more magical! In this edition, we’re celebrating the beauty of contrast: classic romance meets bold creativity, tradition meets trend and every couple’s story shines in its own way.

We begin with a dreamy fairytale-inspired style shoot in Greenwood, Indiana, where lush florals and multiple vignettes transport us straight into a storybook setting. And don’t miss our collection of inspirational sweetheart tables—a guaranteed way to dress up your reception space! Plus, our featured real wedding brings together traditional and tropical elements in the heart of Indianapolis.

We’re also thrilled to unveil the winners of our 2025 Style Shoot Design Contest, sponsored by AAYS Event Rentals. Each design is a masterclass in artistry, innovation and passion—showcasing what happens when talented creatives dream without limits. Scroll through the pages of this issue to see the winner, runner-up and finalist, who blew us away with their beautiful submissions!

Finally, take an exclusive look behind the scenes of our custom cover shoot at the brand new Aloft Indianapolis Downtown. With its vibrant, colorful lobby, lively WXYZ bar and striking Vault meeting space, it’s the perfect backdrop for modern couples who crave something fresh, fun and undeniably stylish!

Whether you’re newly engaged, fully immersed in planning or simply daydreaming about your perfect day, this issue is filled with inspiration to warm your heart through the cooler months ahead. Here’s to love in every season—and to making your wedding day as extraordinary as your love story!
