ABOUT US
MARY DORHAUER
Hi, I'm Mary! Growing up, I loved event planning. I planned dances in high school, assisted friends with their weddings whenever I could and helped plan a series of larger scale fundraising events through my Parish. I just love watching all the little details come together to make one cohesive experience after months of hard work! Professionally, I spent several years in restaurant management, where I learned the never-ending joys and woes of catering and customer service, before jumping at the chance to transition into weddings with Joy in early 2018.
I met my own husband in 2014, and we were married on a very cold and wet May day in 2016. We've since been blessed with two energetic little girls. We love to hike, geocache, and cook together. My passion for weddings stems from the beautiful example of marriage that I was fortunate enough to witness in my own parents and I strive to give that same gift to my own children.
"Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love."

JOY FOSTER
After years of working with vendors for an annual conference focusing on K-12 education, I was offered an opportunity to be wedding coordinator in my parish; one of the historical churches in downtown Indianapolis.After nearly 70 weddings there, I left the position, and with Mary, officially began Something Blue in 2018.
I believe good food, good music, and good company are the heart of both a small gathering and a grand celebration. I love to help couples personalize their ceremony or Nuptial Mass by matching the music, readings, and personal touches to their unique wedding vision.
My husband and I reside in Indianapolis and are the parents of three young adult sons.

Our Name
Something Blue - For us, it goes beyond the traditional rhyme about what a bride should not be without on her wedding day. Blue is the color most associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary and is often the color of rosaries we see wrapped around the stems of our brides' bouquets. We each have a strong devotion to Our Lady and including a reference to her in our company's name is a way to remind us of our purpose when starting our company!
