What better hashtag is there?We aren’t really sure, but here’s a fun fact…. Jenna’s maiden name is Long! Get it? Two Longs make a right! We love their creativity!

Jenna and Matt have one of the best hashtags we have seen yet! Yet, their hashtag is only the tip of the ice berg for their completely colorful and on-trend wedding reception at Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art.

Wedding experts said that bold color was going to make a splash and this wedding was filled with splashed of pinks and purples in one of the most well-coordinated ways we have had the pleasure of witnessing yet. From the invitations to bridesmaids dresses, floral and uplighting – everything was perfect.

The quirky touches that Jenna and Matt selected were personal to them and truly made their wedding one-of-a-kind. In addition to typical table numbers, each table was named after something they love such as the Indianapolis Colts and Maui. Their escort board matched their invitations, their table numbers, and was color-coordinated with every decor element of their special event.

Guests checked out which table was their and sipped signature cocktails during cocktail hour in the gardens at Eiteljorg. For added fun, large white inflatable balls with the words ‘Love’ printed on them were a great way to keep the kids busy (and the groomsmen too!)
