Allison and Igor 5-12-12

Allison and Igor are an amazing couple. I am so glad I got to help coordinate their wedding! Allison and Igor are actually from out of state so the first time I met them was on the big day ; )

They had a beautiful ceremony First United Methodist Church in Ann Arbor. The church coordinator Phyllis is absolutely wonderful. She is one of the sweetest church coordinators I have ever met.

 Their reception was just down the street at The Michigan League. The ballroom looked amazing. Although the a/c went out in the ballroom Allison and Igor made the best of it and had a great time…who knew it could get so hot in May!  : )

Bailey and Michael 3-2-12

Bailey and Michael had a fun wedding! I am so happy Bailey contacted me for coordination. She wanted me to focus on the reception set up. Although I was not at the ceremony their ceremony was held at Newport Community Church.

The reception was at Arnaldo’sBanquet Center in Riverview. Bailey actually purchased a lot of her décor from a past bride of mine. It was fun to how the same items could look completely different based on the bride’s personality and style.

Jennifer and Michael 2-18-12

Jennifer and Michael had the most gorgeous sunny day even though it was a bit chilly. They are such a great couple and were so easy going and great to work with.


They were married at Old St. Mary's Church in Greektown, Detroit. This has to be one of the prettiest churches in Detroit. I was blown away by how gorgeous it was inside and out!

 

If you are looking for a historic church in the Detroit area, Old St. Mary's is so elegant and definitely worth looking into!

Jennifer and Michael's reception was held at The Colony Club in Detroit. The Colony Club is another Detroit gem and is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The staff is wonderful and always great to work with.

Flowers and centerpieces from Flowers by Renee.

 Low centerpieces:

I really loved this picture table Jennifer created with pictures of various family members' wedding photos!

Escort card table:

The wedding party sat at a "captain's table." This is a unique option to the typical long head table for the wedding party. I've been seeing this a lot lately and I really like it!

The cake was from Mannino's bakery and was probably the most detailed cake I've ever seen. It was so gorgeous and tasted as good as it looks!

Close-up of the details:

Other key vendors included The Sun Messengers band. Photography from Wilson Sarkis Photography. Hair and makeup from the wonderful Bridesmaid Beautiful.
