Tonya's Wedding Flowers 8-15-14

I had so much fun designing for Tonya's wedding. Here are a few pictures : ) 

Andrew and Danielle 8-23-14 (Christine)

Danielle and Andrew's beautiful ceremony was held at St. Hugo of the Hills Church and the extravagant reception took place at the Oakland Hills Country Club.  Every detail of this wedding was spectacular from the hand botteled wine, compliments of Danielle's uncle from Italy, favors to the ever talented band, Persuasion.  The bride and groom were very laid back and very much in love and in the end had a perfect wedding day!

Congratulations Andy and Danielle!

Carl and Kimberly 8-15-14 (Christine)

Carl and Kimberly’s reception was held at It’s a Matter of Taste in Commerce.  This upstairs banquet room had panoramic windows that overlooked Union Lake and Carl and Kimberly made their grand entrance via boat!  I loved the color scheme of taupe and green along with the accent of some shiny bling.  The gorgeous flowers were done by our own very talented Tammara at Grand Jour Events!  It was so much fun to get to know such a great couple!

The centerpieces had grapes in them!

Pro Pictures!

Congratulations Carl and Kimberly!

Jonathon and Molly 6-27-14 (Christine)

Jonathon and Molly were married on the first hole at Dearborn Hills Country Club.  It was a beautiful reception with great music and a lot of dancing!  The candy bar was a guest favorite especially for the kids.  It didn’t even feel like I was a work spending such an amazing night with a sweet couple and their two awesome families.

 

Congratulations Jonathon and Molly!

Kyle and Samantha 6-21-14 (Christine)

Kyle and Samantha had a very unique wedding that represented their beautiful relationship.  The ceremony was held at Sterling Heights United Methodist and the reception was at the Links of Novi‘s newly remolded banquet room.  The outdoor patio had breathtaking views of the golf course and was a great place to spend the evening. 

Kyle and Samantha’s wedding had a Mardi Gras theme with everything from beads hanging from the centerpieces to a cake pull tradition.  There was even a live artist that painted a gorgeous picture of their first dance.  The perfect night ended with a paper lantern send off on the greens. 

 

This beautiful chuppah is rented out through GJE!

 

Congratulations Kyle and Samantha!

Eric and Stacie 6-6-14 (Christine)

Eric and Stacie's wedding ceremony and reception was held at the Grecian Center in Southgate.  The ceremony was held outside amongst  the gorgeous grounds.  It was a very hot Friday in June that turned into a perfect evening.  Inside the ballroom the reception was beautiful.  I loved the blue up lighting throughout the room along with their breathtaking cake.  It was a pleasure to start the summer off with such a great couple. 

 

Congratulations Eric and Stacie!

Amanda and Aaron 7-25-14 (Stephanie)

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but the Royal Oak Farmer's Market could easily be one of my favorite venues. Every wedding I coordinate there is completely different than the ones before. That is exactly what I love about it, the fact that it can be transformed a million different ways, to fit anyone's tastes and style. This combined with the fact that the staff is always super friendly and will literally bend over backwards for their clients and vendors, really places it high on my list. Amanda and Aaron were referred to me from the staff at the market and I really loved working with them. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the market. 

The market when we arrived, before setup:

After GJE worked our magic :)

 The ceremony was held on one end of the market, as seen above

 Guest tables were setup on the other end. Wondering where the chairs are? They were used for the ceremony and moved to the guest tables after by myself and my wonderful staff. 

 Centerpieces were the stump and vases below as well as two small vases of flowers on either ends of the table

 These centerpieces are absolutely perfect!

 Wedding wands with bells attached to ring/wave as the newly married couple walk back down the aisle together

 All of these amazing wooden signs you are seeing in the background and on the tables? Yeah, Amanda's dad is a-mazing and literally hand crafted all of them...in the garage...like it's no big deal...I was blown away!

 The dessert table to end all dessert tables, literally

I believe Amanda's aunt put together this suitcase cardbox. It is soo not fair that one family contains all this talent!

 As guests walked into the market, they saw this. Another one of Amanda's dad's amazing creations. I looove it!

They even made their own hashtag! Is this not the best idea!?

There was also a DIY photo frame booth (Oddly, very very similar to the booth that GJE used to offer!) for guests to pose behind and corn hole for guests to play throughout the night. Again, both DIY items handcrafted by Amanda' dad. There was also a hot dog cart setup by the couple's friends on the patio outside the market at the end of the night. The guests absolutely loved it!

Hair and makeup by Bianchi's Salon. Floribunda provided the florals. Amoris Market provided wine and liquor and were super helpful and accommodating. Vince Rizzo provided catering services. Nick Urb provided ceremony music. Ultimate Entertainment provided DJ services. Amy Rice provided photography.

Congratulations Amanda and Aaron. Your wedding was a blast! Thanks for having GJE be part of your special day!
