Taylor and Bobby’s late summer Morse Lake wedding in Cicero, Indiana, was the perfect blend of elegance, charm, and lakeside fun. From a traditional church ceremony to a relaxed, lakeside reception with food trucks and live music, this wedding had it all—and every detail was thoughtfully designed to create an unforgettable day for the couple and their guests.

Before the ceremony, Taylor and Bobby shared a heartfelt first look in downtown Carmel, with the iconic Palladium providing a stunning backdrop. The couple chose shades of blue for their wedding colors, with the bridesmaids wearing varying shades of blue, and the maid and matron of honor in beautiful Nantucket blue print dresses. They then exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The bouquets included blue hydrangeas, tying everything together with a perfect late summer lakeside feel.

To keep the celebration going and add an extra element of fun, Taylor and Bobby treated their wedding party to a charming ride around town on the Indy Trolley. The trolley cruised through the scenic streets of Carmel, headed to the church, and then up to Cicero for their beautiful Morse Lake reception. It was the perfect way to travel in style while ensuring smooth logistics. As a planning tip, hiring transportation is always a smart choice to help guests and VIPs focus on enjoying the day while ensuring everyone stays safe.

After the church ceremony, Taylor and Bobby invited their guests to their family home in Cicero, Indiana, for an unforgettable tented backyard Morse Lake wedding. Guests were greeted with a cocktail reception right on the lakefront, where they enjoyed sweeping views of the water. Cocktail tables and cozy seating areas were scattered across the lawn, providing the perfect setting for guests to relax and mingle as they took in the stunning surroundings.

As a fun surprise and grand entrance, Taylor, Bobby, and their wedding party arrived at the reception by boat, making quite the entrance. The boat arrival was an absolute showstopper, setting the tone for the rest of the evening.

But before joining the cocktail hour, the couple had one more tradition to honor—digging up their buried bottle of bourbon. This Southern wedding tradition is said to bring good weather on the big day. The bottle, buried upside down exactly one month before the wedding, was ceremoniously dug up and shared with the wedding party and guests. And we can definitely agree the tradition worked—because the weather was absolutely perfect!

The celebration continued inside the tent with an upbeat, relaxed vibe that perfectly reflected Taylor and Bobby’s style. They carried their blue color palette throughout the reception with stunning touches that added elegance and personality. The luxurious Belle Fleur Duke Blue linens, rented from A Classic Party Rentals, were a showstopper, adding depth and richness to the tablescapes. Rattan placemats and gorgeous florals by Bleu Bouquet completed the look, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. A standout detail was the custom bars and a Best Buds seating chart, lovingly created by Taylor’s talented mom.

For the reception meal, Taylor and Bobby opted for a fun and casual dining experience, serving delicious food from local food trucks. This choice kept things lighthearted and unique while offering a variety of tasty options for their guests. The night was further elevated by the lively tunes of Bluewater Kings Band who kept the dance floor packed and the energy high all evening long. Guests danced, sang, and celebrated well into the night, making it a truly unforgettable end-of-summer soirée.

From the meaningful church ceremony to the relaxed and fun lakeside reception, every detail of the day reflected the couple’s laid-back yet sophisticated style. Their lakeside venue, unique transportation, and lively entertainment made this wedding one for the books. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to summer while welcoming the start of a beautiful future together.
