Sam and Adele had the most beautiful curving floral aisle for their wedding in East Grand Rapids on Reeds Lake. The couple was stunning descending the staircase of the private home towards the water.

I love when both couples both take part in the planning process and have things they want to share with each other, and their guests. From the moment we had our first call and shared our Chicago loves (hello Mariano’s!) I knew that Cali and Shane’s Michigan Barn Wedding would be one of my favorites.

This is what I love about Michigan. Even when you’re close to the city, you can find yourself in the middle of the forest with your own private lake, feeling like you’re the only ones having a National Park wedding.

A secluded destination, making you feel like you’re on the east coast surrounded by cottages and marinas, the Willowbrook Mill is a Great Lakes dream for a Northern Michigan Wedding.

Nothing says a Northern Michigan wedding like the lakeshore, bikes, kayaks and brews. Before Mikala and Jake even said their I do’s, they treated their entire bridal party to a rehearsal that was quintessential Traverse City.
