It was my dream to return to Cinque Terre, a place we fell in love with on our Italian Honeymoon back in 2012, to renew our vows. I wanted to bring our whole family on an Italian adventure to celebrate this milestone. We booked Luca Vieri to photograph the celebration. My boys walked me down the aisle carrying bouquet I clip from the side of the road. My husband and I shared heartfelt notes to each outer, over looking the sea, before heading down to Monterosso Al Mare for photos and dinner. The day was truly magical!

Emma and Kyle’s wedding at Michillinda Lodge was one of my all-time favorites! The venue is a charming resort on the shores of Lake Michigan with so much charm! The love and care that went into every single detail is obvious. So proud that Lauren Koster Creative was on board for design and coordination of this beautiful day!

I mean it when I say that Hannah and Kanon’s wedding was one of my favorites I’ve ever worked on. Rhiannon Bosse brought the romantic garden to life at both the Meijer Garden Ceremony and the Egypt Valley Country Club Reception. Alyssa McElheney captured the beautifully.

Summer means tent season here in Michigan! At LKC we love a tented wedding. You have the opportunity to build a wedding from the ground up. Often, when clients picture a tent, they see a basic white tent that you have rented for a graduation party or family reunion, there are so many more options and ways to personalize a tent.

On a lovely day in September, just off the shores of Lake Michigan, Steve and Michelle invited their immediate family to celebrate their love at their newly renovated home. Michelle looked effortlessly elegant in Maria Cornejo. Viavi Flower Farm added the icing to the already perfect backdrop by way of wine-toned happy autumnal blooms. Michelle designed the tablescapes using a combo of beautiful dishware from her collection and vintage flatware from Pairadocs Rentals, while Fringe Events provided the chairs. The Farmhouse Deli provided the most delicious meal and dessert. And Amy Carroll & Marta Perez captured the day so perfectly. Michelle and Steve I could not be happier for the two of you!!

Meg and Alex were truly dream clients. They really wanted to bring their story to their wedding day, which is my absolute favorite. They held their ceremony for closest friends and family at their historic, home in the Heritage Hill District of Grand Rapids, then guests moved a few blocks away to the magical greenhouse at the Downtown Market. The night was beyond magical and filled with details and amazing local vendors that really represented Meg and Alex and showcased the best of the best of West Michigan wedding Vendors.

Brittany reached out in early 2021. She was pregnant with her first baby and trying to plan her dream Northern Michigan wedding, in a pandemic, of course. Looking for guidance to create an August, flower-filled, upscale tent wedding at the beautiful Deer Lake at Boyne Mountain. We stepped in and pulled in all our favorite vendors from both the North and downstate to create the perfect Michigan summer Wedding.

As a wedding planner the waste I see at the end of each event fills me with guilt. I value the planet and do as much as I can to take care of our Mother at our home.

Below are 10 ways to have a more sustainable wedding, along with local Michigan recommended vendors who also value sustainability.
