Botanical Gardens
Posted on June 8, 2012




I don’t think I’ve seen anything so beautiful as the botanical gardens at the Indianapolis zoo! Yes, this is at a zoo. We enjoyed the animals and walking around in the extreme heat (can’t you tell by my disheveled hair and knackered expression?), but when we sort of just stumbled into the gardens, we were filled with excitement and we had to snap a few photos. It’s like it expanded and unfolded before our eyes with rows, hedges and walkways. I hope to go back for more… and I can only imagine having a wedding at such a place (which funny enough, was happening simultaneously)
Wearing // Arc & Co dress, Faded Glory sandals. (Hey, you can’t beat Wal-Mart prices!)

Love the photos!! You are so beautiful…. and so are the gardens! Oh man, it would be so awesome to have your wedding in that lovely of a place. :)
Thank you (=^_^=)

Oh my goodness! That looks indeed like a majestic place to have a wedding or even a garden party! If you have a wedding anytime soon you’ve got a possible wedding singer right here ;).
Man you and your honey sure take breathtaking pictures all the time! I’m in love with the water lilies. And with your dress too of course! I’m about to go scavenge for it online haha. I appreciate your little hair bow detail as well :)
Oh and by the way! I see your blog/website always going through incredible changes! It just gets sweater and sweater! If I ever take off as a successful artist, and have enough money, I would totally love to have you design a possible website or something :), although that won’t be for a while because I’m currently a broke ass college music student haha :)
Its just up there in the soon to be possibilities :)
Hope you have continue to have a beautiful summer !
And another side not, you inspired me to get my bangs cut ;)
Peace and love, Ginela
Thank you so much!! (=^_^=) Definitely drop me a line if you are interested in my designs! I am negotiable, take payment plans and trades :)

This place looks so pretty! Botanical gardens are great and this one must be super amazing because it’s a zoo too! You looked so pretty too. I love your little sun dress and the bow in your hair.
Thank you, thank you! Yes, being there at the zoo makes it an even more fantastic experience :)

Those are beautiful! Do you have to pay to get into the gardens? I haven’t been yet, but would love to go.
Nope! The gardens are free :) Just the admission price into the zoo :D

I love the lily pad photo!! this is so nice. I’ve never been to a Botanical garden, but they are always so pretty from pictures I’ve seen.
Yes, this one made me think of Heaven! So peaceful and pretty.

I love going to botanical gardens. I recently went to one in Georgia. All the flowers were blooming and it just took my breath away…so lovely. Someday I hope to capture a little of that magic in my backyard (soon to be) garden.
Here are some photos from our trip if you’d like to check them out. (A girl can never have too many flowers in her day…) :)

What stunning gardens. I especially love that strange bird floating in the water, what a way to add charm. ;)
Yes, I think so too! We were sort of amazed, but laughing at it haha :D

Your dress is so pretty, and that location is beautiful – what a fun day.
Yes it was! Thanks so much :)

Wow, this place is like heaven! I love spending time in serene, beautiful gardens, especially the bit where I pretend its my own garden haha :) you look lovely!
Thank you! Can you imagine having gardens like this for a backyard?! GAH, heaven indeed!

Do you live in Indy? I don’t think I realized how close you were. I’m in Cincinnati.
I live in Bloomington, which is just outside of Indy! Hi neighbor! hehe :)

Those gardens seem like the perfect retreat in the middle of a zoo! (I know I always get a bit run-down and overheated whenever I visit the zoo here in Pittsburgh.) And you really picked the perfect dress for the surroundings!
Yes, I always get a bit run down too. It was sort of a reward to come across it at the end of the day, after walking around in the hot heat :)
Love,
Aya
What a lovely location. I can’t believe its in a zoo haha! I absolutely love the pattern of the dress too. Hope you have a lovely week!
There’s a botanical garden where I live and I can never get enough of it. I love the way you did your hair here!
Thank you so much Emily! :)
