Brittany and Nolan met at Anderson University where Brittany played softball and Nolan played baseball. Nolan recalls, “the moment I first saw her, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She was so incredibly beautiful. She had a smile that was contagious, one that you see and you just can’t help but smile yourself. I wanted to get to know her but every time I would try to hangout with her, she would always tell me she was busy or would say next time! Valentines Day rolled around and I figured this would be my last chance to make an impression. I decided to get flowers for this girl and write her a note that only had the beginning three numbers of my phone number. She was suppose to get the flowers with the three numbers and then two more surprises with the remaining numbers, however she went home that weekend! After getting the rest of the numbers from a teammate, Brittany texted me thanking me for the flowers. We started our journey together from there! After getting to know Brittany, her beauty and personality all the way to her laugh is what made me fall in love with her. I love her laugh. I can’t imagine a day without hearing it. We’ve had our trials and have pushed each other through our barriers; but it has only helped us grow as a couple.”
THE DETAILS
Brittany chose a beautiful bouquet of pure white florals mixed with different shades of greenery. The color white is said to represent new beginnings, purity and innocence. Green is a down-to-earth color that also represents new beginnings and growth. Paired together, her bouquet was light, dreamy and romantic.

THE DRESS
Brittany’s gown is feminine, airy, and utterly romantic. Floral embroidery accents its delicate illusion neckline, through a fitted bodice, and into a lace skirt with a petite sweep train. A sheer back, lined with an elegant row of buttons, and a soft white lining provide the finishing touches.
THE VENUE
The Bluffs at Conner Prairie, located in Fishers, IN, is an ideal setting for a wedding ceremony and reception. Just driving through the forested lane, you will know you have stumbled onto something unique.
THE CEREMONY
The setting for their outdoor ceremony was stunning- perched on the bluffs of the White River, and surrounded by a stately forest with beautiful views of the river.
THE RECEPTION
Brittany and Nolan’s reception was full of personal touches of timeless romance. It was apparent that much time, love and attention was put into every detail.
