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 know from my line of work budgets for a kitchen renovation can start around $30k. My goal is to use my industry knowledge, and maybe a few discounts to pull off a renovation for $15,000. Read to find out all my plans to save and where I will spend.

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.

May, one of my favorite times of year. The weather is finally turning and we are celebrating, graduations, and moms! While I do love the gift of brunch and a massage, sometimes you ned something wrapped. We are sharing 10 items to make mom’s day a little brighter.

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!!

Built in bunk beds was an exciting and challenging project I had my sights on for awhile. I looked at a lot of tutorials online and patched together the plan that I thought would work best for my family - twin over queen - and my aesthetic. This isn’t really a step-by-step tutorial, but more of an overview of what I used and how I assembled the pieces. I also shared lots of details on an instagram highlight.

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.
