Crossing River Wedding - Jessica & Brian

Back in September we had the pleasure of working with some amazing vendors for Jessica & Brian's wedding.  I've recently received the video that Doug from Crossing River Weddings compiled for the wedding and it's a must see!  A huge thanks to Doug and Whitney from Imagine Three Photography for all of their work!

Real Wedding 2010 ~ Misty Farms ~ Ann Arbor, Michigan

I'm not going to lie when I say I have been stalking Amy Carroll's blog now for over two weeks!  She is the amazing photographer behind Sara & Trevor's fabulous vintage, rustic, farm wedding at Misty Farms in Ann Arbor.  You can click on Amy's name above to view her entire blog post. 

I have known Sara since high school.  She has always been sweet as a button, and not to mention amazingly beautiful.  I was estatic when she asked if we would provide day of coordination services for her wedding at Misty Farms in Ann Arbor.   Misty Farms is a new wedding & reception venue located off Scio Church Road.  It is breathtakingly gorgeous; and a lot of work.  Frankly, I don't see how you can have a wedding here without a coordinator...but that's just my two cents ;)

Sara & Trevor's day was full of amazing details, and I couldn't have been more honored to help Sara organize and execute them.

Sara & Tevor are HUGE University of Michigan fans as you can tell by the picture of Trevor's cufflinks above and this picture on the block 'M' - One of my favorite parts of their reception was when they made their formal entrance to the Michigan fight song - Go Blue!

As you can tell from the two pictures above, Misty Farms is a unique location full of all kinds of animals!  Sara & Trevor embraced them and they made for some really cool photo opportunities :)

It hadn't rained all day, and of course, with one minute until cocktail hour, a heavy sprinkle came down.  We immediately high-tailed it into action, moving the bar and food inside the barn so guests could enjoy the hour without getting wet.

A PBR toast - how creative!

Thank you to Sara & Trevor for allowing us to be a part of your amazing day!  xoxo

Real Wedding 2010 ~ Vanessa & Derek

Vanessa & Derek's wedding was full of personal touches - from the pictures hanging in the tent for all the guests to admire (and laugh at), to the kids tables with butcher paper, crayons, and markers, every detail was thought of and provided by Vanessa; including the invitations, the programs, the signage for the welcome table, food, the runners for the tables in the lounge (pictured below).  She is AMAZING!

Their wedding and reception venue was the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti, Michigan.  The wedding took place outside in the Beer Garden and the latter part of the reception took place inside in the lounge. 

When we met a few days before the wedding we were all a little nervous that it could rain (50% chance).  However, the day of the wedding it was a beautiful, beautiful day, clearly meant just for Vanessa & Derek.

CONGRATULATIONS Vanessa & Derek!  Thank you for letting us assist in your special day!
