Bri and Joe’s wedding at Bottleworks Hotel in Indianapolis was the perfect blend of classic elegance and modern charm. Set in one of downtown Indy’s most iconic venues, the day was filled with timeless black-and-white details, heartfelt moments, and thoughtful nods to the history of the Bottleworks District.
The morning began inside Bottleworks Hotel, where the art deco design and chic interiors created a stylish backdrop for getting ready moments. With clean lines, bold textures, and soft natural light, the hotel’s suites set the tone for the sophisticated celebration ahead.
Bri and Joe exchanged vows in the hotel’s courtyard, a beautiful open-air space framed by Bottleworks’ modern architecture. The courtyard created an intimate and urban feel while still highlighting the sleek design of the historic property. Bri and Joe’s guests were surrounded by city charm as the couple promised forever in the heart of Indianapolis.
After the ceremony, guests moved into the historic bottling room for cocktail hour. One of the most unique features of a wedding at Bottleworks Hotel in Indianapolis is its connection to the city’s history as a Coca-Cola bottling plant. Bri and Joe leaned into this legacy with a creative and memorable favor of glass Coca-Cola bottles for each guest. It was a playful, personal touch that tied the past to the present.
The couple’s design choices reflected a classic black and white wedding theme. From the sleek attire to the elegant reception décor, every element felt modern yet timeless. This minimal, high-contrast style paired beautifully with the Bottleworks Hotel’s contemporary art deco aesthetic.
As the sun began to set, we stepped just outside the venue for golden hour portraits. The Bottleworks District off of Mass Ave provided the perfect urban backdrop, blending vintage architecture with modern touches. The soft evening glow highlighted Bri and Joe’s natural joy, giving them a collection of portraits that feel both cinematic and intimate.
If you are searching for a wedding venue that combines history, luxury, and modern design, Bottleworks Hotel in Indianapolis is unmatched. With its stunning interiors, flexible spaces, and proximity to Mass Ave, it’s a dream location for couples who want their wedding day to feel stylish, unique, and unforgettable.
