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!

I always love when I find a new fab vendor! Enter Basic Invite, this website is one of the few that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design, you can change the color of each element on the card. They over 180 colors to choose to set them apart from almost any other online stationery company.

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.

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.

It’s been just about 6 months since Taylor and Joe tied the knot! Helping these two wonderful people bring their plan B to life was truly an honor, and I think they’d agree that it was an epic (in a good way) pivot. After their initial wedding plans were canceled because of Covid, Taylor and Joe found an Airbnb with a magical property to host about 20 of their closest friends and family. This house was a gem, not too far from their home. It had a wooded area, a beautiful deck and a coy pond and those were just the spaces we used!

Brittany and Aaron wanted a “modern, garden fairytale wedding”. With Brittany’s vision and my design, Cassie from Cass & Jean Flower Co. brought the vision to life with hundreds of beautiful blooms in a pastel palette. The ceremony florals were absolute show stoppers and the hanging installation took a basic white tent to the next level! We added dozens of candles and beautiful lilac linens to complete the look. AP Baked Goods’ stunning floral confections were literally the frosting on the cake!

Couples are making tough decisions about what to do about their 2020 weddings, while I still want all the couples to have the big party, (it will be so fun to celebrate when this is all over, won’t it?) I just love the idea of something tiny and intimate. I have rounded up 10 fabulous dresses under $300 for any tiny wedding ceremony imaginable!

Rainbows are the motif of the moment and color is making a HUGE comeback in weddings right now.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day next week I’ve rounded up my favorite modern rainbow wedding ideas!
