Amanda Williams just sent me these pictures from Jenn & Nik’s wedding - so lovely! Congratulations you two!

Melissa & Jason were married on June 26th at the Ann Arbor City Club in Ann Arbor, MI. Their grounds are beautiful, and lend themselves to very minimal decor if you do want an outside ceremony! Dawn, who is the banquet manager there, was just wonderful to work with as well.

Their florist, Passion Flower, added a huppah underneath the pergola that is already at the Club, as well as two arrangements in front of its posts. While these are my photos, I can’t wait to see the ones that Kat Foley took of their day - she was running around everywhere!

After the ceremony, guests were directed to their seats with escort cards placed in ivory envelopes. Since the cocktail hour took place prior to the ceremony, they went immediately into the hora - Melissa & Jason joined in half way through!

I absolutely loved their flowers, and the vessels that they were placed in.

During the evening, Melissa surprised Jason with a song - the one she sang shortly after their engagement that he happened to overhear! It was so adorable.

I love when bouts are placed in fun boxes - this one was just perfect!

Their cake was brought in by Decadent Delight - an Ann Arbor local bakery.

Congratulations to you both!

Chrissy & Dave are very good friends of ours, and we also coordinated their wedding 3 years ago today! Congratulations to you both - we love you!

Ever dream of getting married under apple blossoms and then dancing the night away in your very own barn? Do you think a romantic country style is what you are going for? If so you should really check out Wiards Orchard located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. This is a 100-acre orchard founded in 1837, and it will make for a perfect venue for an elegant, country chic wedding.

Their package includes catering, a barn, a pavillion, a children’s play area, and even a petting farm. Rose Timbers is in charge of events at Wiards and she thinks this would be the perfect place for a wedding out in the country. Their available months for weddings are from June to September.

Guests can enjoy snacks from homemade apple cider, donuts, or delicious candy apples provided by the country store bakery on the property. Barns are quickly becoming a a popular place to have a wedding reception. If you have a love for mason jars and candles this could be the perfect place to hold your reception!

Stylemepretty.com has the perfect idea here for a country wedding with style. This amazing picture was taken by Benfield Photography in Arkansa. I love the mason jars holding baby’s breath and candles, and what’s not to love about trees and twinkle lights?! TwoFoot Creative is known for planning unique weddings, and we would be extremely happy to help you create your dream wedding at Wiards!

 

You can find color inspiration from just walking through your garden of wild flowers or even an art gallery.

Whatever your wedding colors may be, they should create a sense of your personality and style.

The Glass Academy located in Dearborn, MI is such a unique place to host an event. It would be perfect for a rehearsal dinner or bridal shower, where you could let your guests learn something new and also get a chance to make something pretty to take home afterwards or for you to use at the wedding!

Rental of a studio at the Glass Academy would include a minimum of 3 hours, gallery staff, an emcee to host the event, and 2 glassblowers that are trained to give demonstrations and get your guests involved.

They do allow food and alcohol at your event. They have worked with several local caters, and they would be more than happy to help you choose food based on your party and theme.

If you think this may be something you would like to do, get in touch with us to set up a consultation! I think this would be such a fun party to go to and something entirely different. Watching someone do glassblowing is truly a unique experience and getting a chance to be a part of it too would definitely make for a memorable event!

Jillian and Mike’s Wedding Film Trailer | University of Michigan Museum of Art from 3rd Street Films on Vimeo.

From 3rd Street Films: Jillian and Mike had a beautiful wedding at the University of Michigan Museum of Art. It’s such a unique venue! Both the bride and groom were just a little under the weather that day, but you would never guess it. They were smiling and laughing all day, and they weren’t afraid to be a little bit silly as you can tell from Mike’s expert grape catching skills. Enjoy their wedding film trailer!

Jillian and Mike were happily married on Saturday June 11th and the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art (UMMA). With newly renovated features, the Museum of Art’s Apse provided an excellent setting for the both the ceremony and dinner reception for the couple and their families. Their photographer Nicole Haley took the above pictures - the rest are from us!

As the bridal party processional began, Panache Entertainment’s String Quartet sounds filled the room. The ceremony included poems and reading excerpts from friends and family followed by “Chemistry”, a song performed by Kaitlin and Tyler composed specially for the couple.

Cocktail Hour took off in the Museum’s Form with Panache Entertainment’s Jazz Trio creating a great ambiance for guests along with Forte Belanger’s Catering as the newly married couple shared a private space.

While guest enjoyed their cocktails and refreshments, TwoFoot Creative, Forte Belanger and Bill Hamilton Designs, transformed the Museum Apse from the wedding ceremonial space to a wonderful banquet and reception space with a sweetheart table for the happy couple.

Twelve tables were all named with “Love” in twelve different languages. Upon completing dinner, the sweetheart table gave way to open up the dance floor where DJ Zac from Panache Entertainment helped the couple and guests dance the night away.

Upon exiting, the happy couple was escorted out of the Museum to their sedan with an aisle of bright sparklers held by guests to light up the night sky. Their videographer, Jamie, from 3rd Street Films, was there to capture it all! A beautiful ending for a beautiful wedding.
