Maggie and Andrew 6-18-11
Maggie and Andrew had their ceremony and reception at Earhart Manor. Which is located on the campus of Concordia University in Ann Arbor. Earhart is perfect for an outdoor wedding! I loved the ceremony area.
Maggie and Andrew had a beautiful ceremony.
The happy couple!
Tented reception
Maggie had three different centerpieces. I loved the wood under the centerpieces. All flowers were done by Grand Jour Events.

Two
Three
Bride's bouquet
Ecort card table and floral arrangement
I loved her escort rocks. It really tied in the outdoor garden theme.
The cake was gorgeous and beyond delicious! The cake was provided by Queen of Hearts.
Maggie is such a sweetheart. Here she is in her reception dress getting ready for the bouquet toss.
Congratulations Maggie and Andrew! Thank you so much for letting me be apart of your special day!
Lisa and Henry 5-28-11
Lisa and Henry had their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Dearborn Inn. When I arrived the bridal party was just starting the traditional door games. Henry had to prove his love for Lisa by completing fun game with his groomsmen. The first game pictures was pretty funny…Henry’s best man had to put a hard boiled egg up on leg of Henry’s pants and down the other side.
It started out good but when the egg got to the center Henry couldn’t help but laugh : )
Anyone ever put a playing card up to their mouth and suck in so it didn’t fall off? Well this is kind of how the second game went. I’m not exactly sure of the paper they used. It was sort of like a rice paper but the guys had to pass it from one person to another. It did fall a few times and I do think there were a few accidental pecks on the lips.
For the third game they had to go a group push up. It was much harder then it looks!
I love the dresses!
You could feel the rain in the air all day and thank goodness it held off for the ceremony!
Mr. and Mrs.!
Escort table
The beautiful cake was provided by The Pastry Palace. They always do an excellent job!
The groom's cake
Viviano Flower Shop did all the flowers. The tall floral arrangements were on half of the tables.
The other tables had simple centerpieces of roses.
The place setting and the favors. The box on the napkin had a set of gorgeous chop sticks.
The tables looked amazing. The linens and chair covers were provided by Affordable elegance chair covers & linens.
The head table
I loved that they used Henry's saber to cut the cake.
Congratulations Lisa and Henry!

Elizabeth and Todd 5-21-11
Elizabeth and Todd had a beautiful wedding and although it was another rainy day they were lucky enough that is was beautiful for their ceremony at the MSU Alumni Memorial Chapel in Lansing. Although I did not attend the ceremony I heard it was perfect!
Elizabeth’s main reason for hiring me was to set up the reception site. They had their reception at The Kellogg Center in Lansing. Their reception started at 6pm but vendors could not enter until 4pm. I don’t think there has ever been a time that I checked the clock more than I did while I was setting up! Not only because we had a lot of set up and just 2 hours…but the world was suppose to end at 6pm : )
A couple before pictures:
The tables after:
The menus:
The centerpieces. Elizabeth got the roses from her florist that made her bouquets, Petal & Forrest and then my assistant and I cleaned and cut the roses then assembled the centerpieces.
The candy buffet
Elizabeth and Todd's guests loved the candy!
Have you noticed the wedding colors yet? Of course green and white for the MSU themed wedding.
The cake was provided by Beth from Cake Art.
A close up:
LOVED the ice sculpture : )
And you can't have a MSU themed wedding without having Sparty! The guests went crazy when Sparty arrived. Sparty was awesome..he danced and posed for pictures.
He even sit down and hung out, lol.
Their photographer was Amy Boeve and I can't wait see her work. I will defiantly post preview shoots when I get them. If you are still looking for a photographer contact Amy now! Not only is she extremely talented she is such a sweetheart. I'm defiantly looking forward to working with her again.
Other key vendors for the day include make up artist Alexsandra Adams from I Make You Up. Their DJ was DJ Matt from W.E.D.. He did a great job. He really got to know the crowd and play music they loved. The guests were dancing all night long.
Congratulations Elizabeth and Todd!!! Your wedding was amazing!
