TaSheena and Renny 9-10-11

TaSheena was an awesome bride to work with! Although I didn’t meet her until the night of the rehearsal I could tell then Sheena’s wedding was going to be a PARTY : )

TaSheena and Renny had their ceremony at Oakland Church of Christ in Southfield. I loved the church. The staff was so laid back and helpful.

I loved the aisle runner!

I had to zoom out to get all the bridal party in the picture : )

The room looked great. Up lighting was provided by Pegasus Lighting Company.

Photo booth was provided by Rock the Booth. I love working with Rock the Booth and like always the photo booth attendant was awesome. Limo was provided my Millennium Limousines. Photographer was provided by CLW Photography.

Congrats Sheena and Renny! Your wedding was AMAZING!

Kari and Don 9-3-11

Kari and Don had their ceremony at Zion Lutheran Church. Since they had a church coordinator my main focus was to focus on the reception. I arrived at Kari and Don’s house to pick up their reception items then headed over to the Italian American Club Banquet Hall in Livonia to set up. The Italian American Club was great to work with!

Glamorous Elegance provided chair covers/sashes and the table overlays.

The talented bride made all the floral centerpieces herself.

I loved her colors. Simple and classic.

Favors:Wine Opener

Wine stopper. We cut ribbon that we put on the plate and under the favor.

The cake was made by Melissa Daugherty. It looked and tasted amazing!

Photographer was provided by Chrissy White Photography.

Their DJ was Jambalaya Sound and Light. I have worked with them before and they were wonderful. Unfortunately this was their last wedding as they are focusing on their band.

Congratulations Kari and Don! Thank you so much for letting me be part of your big day!

Ashleigh and Brian 8-14-11

Ashley and Brian had an amazing wedding at Paint Creek Country Club. It was so great to work with Ashleigh’s family again as I was the coordinator for her brother’s wedding last year.

They originally planned on having an outdoor ceremony but the sky was looking grey and you could tell rain was on its way. Just a hour before the ceremony started we decided it was best to move the ceremony indoors. At this time the reception room was completely set up but with the help of my awesome assistant and the wonderful staff at Paint Creek we moved all the tables to the side and quickly set up the room for the ceremony instead of the reception. I am so happy we decided to move it indoors because during the ceremony it started to rain.

I think the room looked amazing!

During cocktail hour we quickly changed the room back over. Chaircovers were provided by Linens and Beyond. Linens and Beyond always does an excellent job. Ashley purchased the pink satin and tulle that I used for the cake table, ceremony and head table. The flowers were provided by Wesley Berry Florists in Commerce Township.

Tall centerpieces

Small centerpieces

Ashleigh's bouquet

Bridesmaids bouquet

The cake was from Jens 3D Cake Creations. It looked great unfortunately I didn’t eat any so I don’t have a review on the taste. Why? Because I was hanging out at the sweet table, yummmmy! The sweet table was provided by Sweet Dreams.

The sweet table. The guests loved it! There were so many different types of pastries, tarts, cakes and fruits.

I loved the favors...jars of pink gum.

Other key vendors include photography by LA’s Photography. They had a band, Terry and Anna Stevenson. DJ Crashers provided videographer and a photobooth. They also used Luxury Limousine Car and Couch for transportation.
