We loved the old Hollywood glam vibes that Whitney and Christian brought to their wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. After arriving in a classic car they entered through the lavishly covered stair case, and danced into the night to dueling pianos.

What do you get when you have one die-hard Ohio State bride and a die-hard University of Michigan groom?? One epic wedding day!

Reason #1 million why I love weddings in Michigan. One day you’re on the lakeshore, the next you’re saying “I Do” underneath a willow tree in the middle of a vineyard.

It takes a lot to pull off an AirBnB Wedding, but when you dins the perfect house with that spot on vibe, it feels like it was made just for your day. Erin and Stephen had a modern vision with a retro twist that The Frost House completely captured. Dining poolside with striped umbrellas that matched the sleek black chairs, was all breathtakingly photographed by Feather & Stone.

Chloe and David brought the California vibes to their wedding at Aurora Cellars, a vineyard up near the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan. The willow tree and green branches growing up the poles of the tent brought the Northern Michigan natural elements into their wedding day.

The balloon sleeves of my dreams. It was like this dress and this venue were made simultaneously. The soft ivory fabrics, leather and wood details brought everything together for this magical Nature Michigan wedding.

Can we take a moment for the dress? It’s hard to not be anything but whimsical and romantic when your wedding backdrop is the amazing Aurora Cellars in Leelanau.

Danielle’s green wedding suit may have been my favorite suit of the year. With the high colored floral shirt next to Loni’s sleek white jumpsuit, this couple delivered the looks for their wedding at the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids.

Michelle and Drew’s lavish and moody wedding at The Rutledge was complete with long sheer gloves, gold table lamps, and elegance that touched every corner of the room.

When we have the opportunity to travel to plan a wedding in downtown Chicago, we map out all the best coffee spots and pack our bags. Sam and Kevin’s intimate wedding at Osteria Via Stato in the heart of downtown Chicago gave us that big city feel in a small family setting.

Kaitlind and Nick’s floral lined aisle was a gorgeous entrance into their wedding at Black River Barn in South Haven Michigan. Ending the night with dancing on the patio in front of their giant marquee sign.

You have to time a fall Breckenridge Colorado Wedding perfectly to hit that peak golden yellow of the aspen leaves. Melanie and Kevon could not have timed in any better with their Colorado wedding on the river with the Breckenridge mountains in the background.

I love when brides decide to go bold and Kelcey went bright and BOLD. The way all the colors popped in in the photos from Mitten Tog, obsessed is an understatement!

Even though we’re based out of Grand Rapids, we work just as many weddings in Northern Michigan, and we love it. We love it even more when we work with couples that got our name from another couple that got our name from even another couple, and they all end up at the same wedding together.

Rachel and Jean had such an elegant wedding at the Bissell Tree House at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids Michigan. Guests were overlooking the treetops during cocktail hour, enjoying a surprise peek at the red pandas below.

If I could bottle up Breana and Ryan’s positivity and absolute understanding and sell it to all couples affected in 2020, I would be richer than Bezos! They had more curveballs and obstacles thrown at them than ANY of the other weddings we worked to pivot or reschedule. In the end, their Glass House Wedding is one that others will try and copy!

Downtown Grand Rapids has so much to offer for all our couples. There’s so much history on every corner. We love that venues take a chance on old factories, libraries, and even churches and turn them into gorgeous venues.

With fall in full swing, Mallory and Collin’s wedding at a Michigan Vineyard, Aurora Cellars, had the hints of yellow among the swaying willow tree, and could not have been a more perfect setting.
