Real Wedding ~ Elisabeth and Kris

Last week I shared a link to Elisabeth and Kris's wedding via Mindy Leigh Photography. If you have not seen it yet check out the blog post here. Today I wanted to share more of the details with you. Elisabeth was a very hands on DIY bride and spent the last year pulling together all of her amazing ideas. She wanted their wedding day to be bright, cheerful and fun, which reflects both of their personalities perfectly.

Elisabeth knew what she wanted her invitations and paper products to look like but could not find them anywhere. So she ended up sharing the idea with a grapic designer friend and they turned out perfect!

At Picket Fence Floral in Holland you can have a party and put together your own bouquets, corsages, etc. Liz, her mom, grandma and bridesmaids spent Friday afternoon putting everything together and had a blast doing it. On the day of the  wedding Liz told me that she was much more attached and sentimental about her bouquet because of  creating it herself.

The family brought in flower pots of many colors to create a garden on the stage.

The bride created these fabric flower wreaths to great the guests as they entered the sanctuary.

The bride found the perfect embellishments to add  to her escort cards.

The centerpieces were each an eclectic grouping of jars an vases filled with bright garden stems. The brides grandmother made the green gingham squares for the glassware to set upon. The couple used fun pictures of them together for the table numbers.

Main Street Sweets in Zeeland brought in the amazing candy buffet. A friend of the couple created the wooden stands to hang the "CANDY BAR" letters from. We added a few framed pictures of the couple as well  as green linens to make the buffet a focal point in the room.

This four tier cake was from Second Floor Bakery in Holland. The fondant flowers and gingham ribbon went perfectly with the rest of the decor. The groom  also had a Michigan Stadium grooms cake!

Liz and Kris and their entire bridal party were so much fun. As you can tell in this photo they were not afraid to be crazy, one of the couples even rode in the reception on roller blades!

Once again, I just love the locations photographers find for pictures. Finding the perfect backdrop for your photo really helps to take the image from ordinary to EXTRAordinary.

Real Wedding ~ June and Joe

The first time I talked to June on the phone I knew we would get along together fabulously. She is so fun to talk with and her wonderful personality comes across in every word. With June and Joe living on the East Coast it was a few months until I was able to meet June face to face, of course she was even more lovely in person. June and Joe's South Haven wedding was beautiful and their love for each other was so apparent. It was an honor meeting both of their families and getting to know such a wonderful couple.

June's father was the sweetest guy, we just loved him!

I had to include this one of June's mother, she wore the most fabulous hair piece.

After the ceremony June and Joe rode away in this vintage 1947 Nash Ambassador.

The little flower girls were so adorable and were in awe of the bride and groom.

This last image is perfect to show the personalities of the bridal party. Congratulations June and Joe, your wedding was so much fun and it was a pleasure to be a part of it!

A big thank you to Amy Deming of Deming Photography for all of the images.

Jar Candle Escort Cards

I came across this picture from Jasmine Star Photography and just love the idea! By using these jars as your escort "cards" they can also double as part of the table centerpiece.

They would look adorable sitting around your centerpiece itself or you could hang them on stands and make them the focal point.

Shoe Fabulous!

We are always so focused on the ladies shoes that we forget that 

the guys can rock fabulous footwear too!



Love the Details!

Lynell from Lizzie Photo shared this Grand Rapids wedding with me for our Local Wedding Wedneday posts. As most of you know, the details of a wedding are my favorite part. I couldn't pick just one photo so I decided I must share all of these amazing details from Stephanie and Mike's wedding with you.

LOVE these little grass and flower pot escort card holders!

Thanks for sharing this with me Lynell!
