A Nantucket-Inspired Wedding at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Indiana

On June 27, 2026, Kacie and Jack celebrated their wedding with a beautiful Catholic ceremony in Noblesville, Indiana, followed by an unforgettable reception at Chatham Hills in Westfield. Their vision was simple: a relaxed, joyful celebration filled with family, friends, and a party that lasted all night!

This wedding was particularly special to me because of how Kacie and I connected. My dear friend, Alison of Alison Mae Photography, introduced me to her sweet cousin, Kacie. Alison is an incredibly talented photographer and someone I absolutely adore working alongside, so being trusted to help plan and design her cousin’s wedding was such an honor!

From our earliest conversations, it was clear that Kacie and Jack wanted a wedding that felt personal, welcoming, and, above all, fun. We brought that vision to life through a breezy, East Coast-inspired design, meaningful family touches, and a few surprises that kept their guests celebrating well into the evening.

A Breezy, Nantucket-Inspired Wedding Design

Kacie was immediately drawn to shades of blue, which became the foundation for the entire wedding design. With Chatham Hills’ beautiful architecture and relaxed country club atmosphere, we leaned into a coastal aesthetic inspired by summer evenings in Nantucket.

Rather than relying on one shade, we incorporated a variety of blues throughout the celebration, from soft powder blue and dusty blue to deeper navy accents. Repeating toile patterns, woven rattan details, and delicate floral arrangements helped create a cohesive design that felt timeless without being overly formal.

One of my favorite elements was the collection of vintage Wedgwood pieces that Kacie and her mom spent time sourcing from antique stores. These special finds were incorporated throughout the reception, adding character, texture, and a personal touch to the design.

The toile pattern made appearances on the cocktail table linens, reception signage, and cake table, while woven details, including the cake stand and accent lighting, added warmth to the overall aesthetic.

Jack also had one particular request: he wanted to wear a navy suit! We embraced the deeper shade by incorporating navy into the stationery typography and adding white anemones with dark centers to the floral arrangements. The contrast gave the softer palette a little extra depth while tying the design back to the groom.

The result was an elegant yet approachable atmosphere that felt perfectly suited to the couple and their venue.

A Meaningful Catholic Wedding Ceremony in Noblesville

Before the celebration at Chatham Hills, Kacie and Jack exchanged vows at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Noblesville, Indiana.

The church holds a special place in Kacie’s heart, as it is her family’s home church and the place where she grew up. Being able to celebrate their marriage in a setting with so much family history made the ceremony especially meaningful.

The church’s beautiful architecture provided a timeless backdrop, complemented by soft white and blue florals and simple ceremony décor.

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds were greeted with a celebratory bubble exit before heading to Chatham Hills to continue the festivities!

An Elegant Reception at Chatham Hills in Westfield

The Club at Chatham Hills was the perfect setting for the relaxed, coastal-inspired reception we envisioned.

Guests enjoyed cocktail hour overlooking the property before making their way to their seats, where soft blue accents, lush white florals, and glowing candlelight created a welcoming atmosphere.

We incorporated a mixture of centerpiece styles throughout the room, combining delicate floral arrangements with clusters of candles in varying heights. Silver chargers, powder blue napkins, and soft blue taper candles complemented the palette without overwhelming the space.

The floral arrangements featured white roses, blue hydrangeas, delicate greenery, and striking anemones, creating a romantic, garden-inspired look.

The cake display was another favorite design moment. A simple white tiered cake adorned with fresh florals sat atop a woven rattan stand, surrounded by a beautiful blue-and-white patterned linen. It was the perfect example of how a few thoughtful details can make a simple design feel special.

Throughout the reception, the vintage Wedgwood pieces collected by Kacie and her mom added an extra layer of charm and personality.

A Wedding Reception Designed for a Good Time!

While the design was beautiful, Kacie and Jack were equally focused on making sure their guests had an incredible time. And they certainly delivered!

Kacie’s parents are known for hosting a fabulous holiday party, complete with an ice luge. Naturally, the family tradition had to make an appearance at the wedding!

Guests were treated to blue margaritas served through a custom ice sculpture featuring the couple’s monogram. It was a fun, unexpected detail that perfectly captured the spirit of the evening.

The celebration continued with a photo booth and an assortment of dance floor props, including oversized cutouts of Kacie and Jack’s faces, a cutout of Kacie’s beloved cat, and checkered racing flags in honor of Jack’s love of racing.

But perhaps the most memorable surprise of the evening was a special appearance by Sycamore Sam, Indiana State University’s mascot!

The unexpected guest made his way onto the dance floor, much to the delight of the newlyweds and their guests. It was one of those moments that perfectly captured the couple’s personalities and the joyful energy they had hoped to create.

Between the dancing, laughter, and thoughtful personal touches, the reception was exactly what Kacie and Jack had envisioned: a celebration where everyone could relax, have fun, and enjoy being together.

A Wedding That Was Truly Kacie & Jack

What I loved most about this wedding was how seamlessly we were able to blend a timeless, romantic design with the couple’s fun-loving personalities.

From the meaningful ceremony at Kacie’s childhood church to the vintage pieces collected with her mom, Jack’s navy tuxedo, the family ice luge tradition, and a surprise mascot appearance, every detail told a little piece of their story.

It was such an honor to provide Full-Service Wedding Planning & Design for Kacie and Jack and to work alongside my dear friend Alison Mae Photography to bring their celebration to life.

Congratulations, Kacie and Jack! Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a special day!
