I have been so excited for Amy & Ryan’s wedding over the past 9 months - it has been a wonderful planning process! They were married this past Saturday at the Rattlesnake Club in Detroit, with a beautiful ceremony overlooking the water.

As guests were seated, they each had a gerbera daisy on their chair in memory of Amy’s mother. The note also indicated that a donation had been made to the New York City Ballet Company on her behalf.

Following the ceremony, guests walked into the Rattlesnake Club to place each daisy in a large trumpet vase on the place card table. Eventually, 175 flowers overflowed the vase, and it was a beautiful remembrance all evening long.

All of the decor for the event, including linens, flowers, lighting, and chairs came from MPE Events. They started setup the day before, bringing in the lighting and banquet chairs which were covered with black spandex covers. All paper products were created by Gourmet Invitations.

Blaine Siesser photographed the event, which I am very excited to see the professional shots of! Dinner was a trio of stations, from stir fry to mashed potatoes to chicken and salad. It was delicious! Shortly following dinner, cupcakes from The Cupcake Station came out on display along with some gourmet coffee for dessert. The Shutterbooth opened around that time as well, and was a huge hit as always!

Everything went very smoothly (we were actually ahead of schedule at one point!) and guests had a wonderful time. Amy’s bouquet is now in the hands of CurlyArt, who will be creating a painting for Amy & Ryan’s nursery!

Congratulations on a beautiful wedding day, it was wonderful working with you both!
