Elegant Spring Wedding at Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s equal parts modern elegance and garden charm, the Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion in Carmel, Indiana, offers a breathtaking backdrop—and Sarah & Al’s March celebration is proof of just how magical this venue can be.

As a local Indiana wedding planner, I had the joy of coordinating Sarah & Al’s big day. From the white and lime green-toned florals that added a fresh, unique touch to the iconic black and white checkered dance floor, every carefully chosen detail came together to create an effortlessly elegant celebration at the Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion.

The bridesmaids wore champagne dresses, adding a soft, romantic shimmer, while the groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos, bringing in a sleek contrast. One of the most striking design details was the black and white checkered dance floor—an unexpected but cohesive addition that introduced another neutral layer while anchoring the reception space with a touch of bold elegance. Altogether, the palette created a refined yet inviting atmosphere that felt both fresh and timeless.

A surprising yet sophisticated touch came in the form of light taupe accents, seen in the taper candles and the beautifully textured Celine Stonewash Rattan Chairs from A Classic Party Rental. These subtle elements introduced warmth and dimension, perfectly complementing the rest of the design.

Speaking of florals—how cool is this modern take on classic white blooms with lime green-accented greenery? The arrangements featured lush white roses, tulips, orchids, and ranunculus paired with textured pops of green like hanging amaranthus, green anthurium, and viburnum. This fresh palette added a stylish twist to traditional wedding florals and tied in beautifully with the airy, garden-like feel of the Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion.
