Wedding Inspiration: Amy Carroll Photography

I recently booked my first wedding to be held at Sharon Mills in Manchester, MI. The bride sent me a link to photographer Amy Carroll’s blog, who did a wedding there that just looks like so much fun!

All the catering at Sharon Mills is provided by Food Art, who I worked with a few years ago at Vici and Guy’s wedding in Ann Arbor. The food was amazing then, so I am sure it will be wonderful in September for this upcoming wedding!

I just love the look of menus written out on chalkboards - and they work so wonderfully with tented, outdoor receptions!

Lawn games during cocktail hour! Why not? They make for great photo ops, entertainment for guests, and you get to take advantage of a beautiful day to be outside (as long as the Michigan weather cooperates, right?).

Details, details… Food Art creates some amazing fruit-infused beverages and appetizer displays - presentation means a lot to them which is great for any foodies out there!

If your guest list includes those who might think 3-inch heels are a good idea on grass - a flip flop bin is a great way to rescue their day! Old Navy has sales on these after the summer season for about $1 a pair - and they are always huge hits!

Photo booth props also make for great pictures, and a lot of fun! This is a great alternative to favors as well - guests get to take home a strip of 4, personalized with your wedding date, names, monogram etc.!
