Playful, pretty and delightfully fresh, our exclusive Northern Indiana cover shoot takes an original spin on whimsical and modern style. “When I think whimsical, I think of billowing floral arrangements and flowing drapery. When I think ‘modern,’ I think of geometric shapes and industrial-inspired décor,” says Fort Wayne wedding planner and owner of Amaising Events, Maisie Hepler. Maisie and her team of fabulous Northern Indiana vendors created a picturesque ceremony that showcases the Pantone Color of the Year, Classic Blue, alongside modern touches of copper. “The juxtaposition of the softer florals against the boldness of Classic Blue turned out just beautiful,” Maisie adds.
