An Indiana University Basketball Wedding at Henke Hall of Champions in Bloomington, Indiana

Swish! Aubrey Wathen (24 and nurse) and Jordan Hulls's (25 and a professional basketball player) wedding was definitely a slam dunk. Jordan, a Bloomington, Indiana, native who helped take Indiana University to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament two years in a row, knew there was no better place to exchange vows than on Hoosier territory. The day started in a traditional ceremony at St. Charles Catholic Church on Third Street before heading to Henke Hall of Champions on the north side of Indiana Memorial Stadium. Everything from the IU cuff links and candy-striped pants to the Big Cheeze catering bled cream and crimson. But Aubrey and Jordan wanted their day to feel like a wedding, so they balanced the B-town pride with timeless black-and-white details accented with soft shades of pink and gold. Although Jordan is known for bossin' on the Big Ten, Aubrey stole the show with her stunning Watters wedding dress. We want to take one from her playbook with the gorgeous lace couture gown and soft updo. See all our favorite details from this Indiana wedding, beautifully captured by Hudson's Photography, below.

The groomsmen showed their Indiana pride with matching Indiana University cuff links. Since many of the groomsmen played on the school's basketball team together, the gift from Jordan was meaningful. The men also showed their pride by changing into cream and crimson candy-striped pants—which they all wore during basketball warm-ups—for the reception at Henke Hall of Champions.
Indiana University's basketball team is famous for their cream and crimson candy-striped warm-up pants. Famous Hoosier basketball coach Bobby Knight started the tradition in the 1970s when geometric-patterned attire was big. Since many of the groomsmen played on the basketball team with Jordan, they all changed into the warm-up gear for the reception.
Aubrey completed her stunning Watters dress with a traditional tulle veil with a blusher for her to wear down the aisle for her Catholic wedding ceremony. She wore her hair in a soft, lose updo, gorgeously done by Royale Hair Parlor. Aubrey took her veil off for the reception and added a small flower accessory.
Aubrey's bridesmaids added a little pop of color to the neutral palette. Each donned strapless pink A-line dress. Textured white bouquets that included lisianthus, spider mums and sweet peas brought the whole look together.
Aubrey and Jordan chose St. Charles Catholic Church in Bloomington, Indiana, for their traditional ceremony. They chose the church for its beauty, and because they both really liked the priest.
Aubrey and Jordan had a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Charles Catholic Church on Third Street. The chapel was naturally gorgeous with its stone walls, gothic chandeliers and colorful stained glass, so the couple kept their decor minimal.
Jordan proposed with a stunning round-cut diamond ring with diamonds along the band. Aubrey's wedding ring is white gold with diamonds that matched her engagement ring. Jordan's wedding band is a solid 14k gold ring.
Although Aubrey thought she knew what she wanted for a dress, she completely changed her mind while she was trying on gowns. She found this stunning strapless modified A-line dress at House of White in Newburgh, Indiana, and fell in love. The timeless lace and subtle beading were the perfect combination of traditional and fun.
Aubrey's parents looked super chic for the classic wedding. Aubrey's mother donned a black lace off-the-shoulder gown with a peplum. The bride's father wore a traditional black tuxedo with a black bow tie to match the groomsmen.
Basketball stars Christian Watford, Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Derek Elston and Will Sheehey stood with Jordan on his wedding day. The six men played together to take the Hoosiers to the Sweet 16 two years in a row. The groomsmen sported traditional three-piece black tuxedos with black bow ties. Jordan wore suspenders in lieu of the vest.
The flower girl wore a simple white dress for walking down the aisle. The top was a silk material and the skirt was full and flowing tulle. She completed her look with a white bow in her half-up hairstyle.

Since Henke Hall of Champions at Memorial Stadium was naturally modern and gorgeous with its towering ceilings, oversize windows and balconies, Aubrey and Jordan kept their decor minimal. Gold and ivory linens covered the tables and white centerpieces completed the look.
Sugar Coated Cakery in Shelbyville, Indiana, created Aubrey and Jordan's four-tier white buttercream cake. Each layer was a different flavor, with swirl and initial detailing personalizing the outside. In addition to the cake, the couple served cupcakes since they thought it would be a good way for people to be able to taste all the different flavors.
