Jennifer and Chris 11-18-11

Jennifer and Chris had an amazing wedding. Jennifer had an excellent group of vendors with always helps : ) I loved everything about her wedding.

The ceremony was at Concorde Inn in Clinton Township. Everything went smoothly the only minor glitch is there were not suppose to be any Christmas decorations up. Although this wasn’t the plan it did look really nice.

The new Mr. and Mrs. : ) Jennifer looked gorgeous!

Their reception was at The Mirage in Clinton Township. The staff at the Mirage is excellent! Linens were provided by Always Special Linens. I LOVE the way the sashes are tied.

Congratulations Jennifer and Chris!

Sarah and Keith 11-5-11

Sarah and Keith had their ceremony and reception at Crystal Gardens in Howell. I love working at Crystal Gardens, the staff is always wonderful and the food is very good too. Sarah and Keith live out of state and brought almost everything with them including the cake!

I am so happy that the weather cooperated as they had an outdoor ceremony. The new outdoor chapel at Crystal Gardens is gorgeous.

The happy couple!

Natalie and Jonathan 10-22-11

Natalie and Jonathan are the sweetest couple ever! I am so lucky to have met such an amazing couple. I was also very lucky to be able to provide flowers for their wedding. Natalie and Jonathan had their ceremony and reception at The Whitney in Detroit. I love the charm and history that the mansion has.

They had their ceremony on the landing between the 2nd and 3rd floor. Their officiant was Reverend Fred Jolicoeur from We Are Gathered. If you are still searching for that perfect someone to marry you look no further! Reverend Fred was so easy going. I have met a lot of officiants and he is now on the top of favorite list : )

I love this picture of Jonathan watching his bride walk down the stairs!

I couldn't get a very good picture...I didn't want to block the guests view but I love the sun shinning through the window. It was so romantic.

The new Mr. and Mrs! What a beautiful bride!

I loved Natalie's bouquet.

First Dance

Can you believe this is Natalie's handwriting...I think she could open a side business writing out escort cards : )

The cake was delicious. It was from Flour to Flower Bakery.

Corsages

Boutonnieres

Other key vendors included ceremony musicians Go 4 Baroque and Life Support Band. The band was awesome and I defiantly recommend checking them out.
