Michael and Gabbi are two of the most original people I have ever met. They are both very creative and unique and I knew as soon as I met them that I would love helping them on their wedding day.

I met with Gabbi a year before she decided to hire me. She did much of the planning and then quickly got overwhelmed and knew she needed some help for the wedding…. Sound familiar? It happens all the time!

Held at Castle McCullough, their wedding was full of personal touches…including centerpieces that the bride and groom made themselves as well as potted plants as wedding favors! Their wedding was “green” and the guests had a wonderful time. The castle was decked out with wrapped vines and a potted tree for their “Tree Ceremony”. The girls all wore 1940’s inspired hair do’s and the guys were looking good in their fedoras…. Did I mention how unique this couple was?

The couple’s family was wonderful as well. The bride’s father, a fire fighter, did a lot of the outside décor for dinner and the groom’s mother hired us to also take care of the rehearsal dinner at Steak Street.

It was a wonderful weekend that we enjoyed being a part of.

Congrats Gabbi and Michael, Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day!

Real Wedding: Stephanie and Collin

3 Jan

This was such a fun wedding for me. I worked for a year with the beautiful couple as well as the bride’s mom, who was very involved in the planning. I fell in love with all of them and think of them as very close friends. Originally from New York, I related to their typical northern attitudes and spunk. We had fun planning this beautiful event that took place on a clear, windy October day at Grandover Resort.

Northern wedding traditions were incorporated into this event, starting with the receiving line. The ceremony took place in half of the beautiful ballroom… followed by cocktails and passed hor ‘dourves in the concourse overlooking the golf course. We then invited the guests into the beautiful reception that was ready for a party! Blue up lighting from K2 Productions and beautiful calla lily centerpieces from Flowers by Candlelight set the décor for the space. Once dinner service was completed, the Orange Krush band got the guests to the dance floor to party the rest of the night. Thank you to Ross Photography for the beautiful photos!

It was a wonderful event and I am thankful to have such wonderful clients. Congrats Stephanie and Collin… we wish you much love, luck and happiness in your life together!
