Sarah + Brian Lindsay's Wedding 7.16.11

Sarah + Brian got married last July in the amazing Ann Arbor, Michigan. I love everything about Ann Arbor and loved the church they choose on campus. Everything came together very smoothly and I instantly clicked with Sarah when I met her and her mom in a little coffee shop in Ann Arbor to discuss their 'big day'.

Ceremony: St. Thomas the Apostle
 Reception: Sheraton Ann Arbor
Photographer: Precious Memories Photogrpahy

Photobooth: Exposure PhotoBooth

Bakery: Jefferson Market and Cakery

Band: Trilogy 

 St. Thomas church was AMAZING and the perfect location for this U of M Alumni!

Meet the beautiful bride Sarah...she was glowing and smiling the whole day :)

I love the bridesmaids navy short dresses and this saweet shot in front of the stadium with the bridal party.

The centerpieces had navy and some ivory flowers. They looked amazing during dinner.

I love the chocolate covered strawberries on the wedding cake - delish!

Happy 1 year Anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. Lindsay!!! Cheers to many more!

Kristin + Patrick Curran's Wedding 5.14.11

I met Kristin + Patrick through E'lisa with E. C. Campbell Photography. They were living in California but having their wedding in Michigan. Kristin was so easy to work with and I was so happy to meet them right before their wedding. Their wedding was absolutely stunning at Meadow Brook Hall and looked like the perfect fairy tale wedding. 

Venue: Meadow Brook Hall

Photographer: E'Lisa - E. C. Campbell Photography

Florist/Linen: Viviano Flower Shop

DJ: Mike Staff Productions

Bakery: Holiday Market

Meet the groom - Patrick

The stunning bride - Kristin

The decorated dining room. 

These beautiful vases held tree branches and small flowers - the escort cards hung from the branches. 

The cake adorned the same details

The weather that day was humid and partly sunny...the sky opened up and it started raining about an  hour before the wedding - but just in time it all cleared up and we were able to have the wedding outside just as they had hoped!

Looking for a Sign?

I am talking about a little something that is personalized for your next event or home ;) Maybe you want a Mr. & Mrs. sign made up or one with your baby's name...or your new business needs a sweet sign... options are endless really! Check out some of these fabulous sign ideas from Our Hobby to your Home & Wedding. 

Our Hobby to Your Home & Wedding is a mother working with her daughters creating hand-made signs for any occasion. They specialize in weddings, baby, business, family and custom signs. Below is a peek of some of their great work!  

Instead of your typical ring bear - maybe you have a sign bear that walks down the aisle.

[My favorite - this can be used over and over again!]

A baby's name - You could use this in maternity photos, at the shower and to decorate the room!

I love the idea of getting a business sign... I now know what my next PlanIT Now! Events purchase will be :)

Wish Upon a Wedding Michigan

I am thrilled to talk about this new and amazing non-profit organization in Michigan! Wish Upon a Wedding is a national non-profit and the Michigan chapter is launching January 17th. As you know weddings are stressful enough to plan but they are even more stressful when a couple has at least one of them diagnosed with a terminal illness or serious life-altering circumstance.

The launch party is Tuesday, January 17th starting at 7pm at the Crofoot in Pontiac. The event is open to newlyweds, wedding industry professionals, medical professionals and recently engaged couples. It is a FREE event but you do need to register so they have a headcount. Wish Upon a Wedding is accepting donations to get their Michigan Chapter started and that will allow them to start granting wishes!  

The Michigan chapter can start granting wishes after their launch party on January 17th.

I signed right up for this when I heard about it from my dear friend E'Lisa with E. C. Campbell Photography in April... its such a great cause and I am so excited to be on the "waiting" vendor list!! I think this is a great organization for anyone to volunteer their time, airline miles or donate too. Its truly a great cause and it warms my heart to read all of the wishes granted to date around the United States.
