On their wedding day, the couple wanted to be encircled by the love of those closest to them. They chose the Eiteljorg Museum because the outdoor space was perfect for a circular design. “We wanted to be surrounded by people and their love,” Dana said. “I loved being able to look over Chris’ shoulder to see my best friend crying with joy.”

It’s ! Today we’re celebrating Kristin and Justyn Weiler, who chose to honor loved ones on their special day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kristin and Justyn consider themselves fortunate that they were able to gather with their loved ones just a few months after they had originally planned without reducing their guest list. But between their original April 2020 date and their rescheduled August wedding, one of both Kristin’s and Justyn’s grandparents passed away. The couple honored their grandparents with a memorial table and a moment of silence and came up with creative ways to include as many loved ones as possible in their scaled-back celebration. Read all about their gorgeous ceremony at the Scottish Rite Cathedral downtown at https://kitindy.com/intimately-yours/ or in our May-June issue!

Ever had an interest in bee keeping or gardening or just care about the wellbeing of the bees and butterflies, i.e. pollinators, that help our ecosystems and inhabit our gardens?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Local photographer Jackson Mahaney writes in the Kit May-June issue about how wisely chosen flowers can transform your garden into a haven for bees and butterflies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jackson writes, “Modern stresses have done great damage to pollinator populations of all types. Honey bees tend to get the most press, but even smaller bees, butterflies and hummingbird populations are being affected by commercial beekeeping, edge-to-edge farming (wiping out what once were plentiful roadside habitats), pesticides and suburban sprawl.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Planting the right things in your garden can help these pollinators to survive and thrive,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See our feature about pollinators and Jackson’s garden in Kit’s May-June 2021 print magazine, and learn how to choose the perfect plants to attract pollinators to your garden from early spring through late fall at kitindy.com!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out Jackson’s website https://jxnmahaneyphoto.com/ or on Instagram at .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus, you can see the “Flowers in the Family Exhibition” from June 4 to July 24, featuring paintings from Jackson’s mother, Edie Kellar Mahaney, and Jackson’s floral photographs at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center,

It’s ! For the Kit wedding issue, we’ll be featuring an Indy wedding we love every week in May and June. As part of our Intimately Yours wedding series, we also have tons of additional bridal content, from florals to guest outfit ideas to jewelry. This week we’re writing about Gabrielle and Jack Noel’s union at .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The day Gabrielle and Jack Noel sent the save-the-dates for their wedding, they found out they were expecting their first child. Initially, they’d planned a 300-person event in a tent outside of Jack’s parents’ home. But the sweet news of a baby boy on the way called for a more intentional and familial setting. “We wanted everything to feel intimate,” said Gabrielle, who’s also a wedding photographer. She wanted to spend the day with special people who made an impact on her life, relationship and community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their small wedding featured many sweet details, including the couple reading a Shel Silverstein book to their unborn baby boy. Read the whole story at kitindy.com!
