TwoFoot Creative was up to some shenanigans while we helped Jillian and Kevin celebrate their wedding day on St. Patrick’s Day. Their beautifully green wedding took place at the Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth, MI – one of our very favorite venues!

We arrived at St. Johns, and began by laying down the linens from Fabulous Events, setting up the candelabras, from Top that Event, and put out their adorable lantern place cards. The candelabras had beautiful floral centerpieces created by The Vines. Each table had a different street name in place of table numbers. Every table had a description of why the table had the name, which basically told the story of how they met, dated, and then the proposal, as well as all the places they lived in between.

Guest started arriving and enjoyed cocktails and appetizers, and soon it was time for the reception to start. Everyone applauded and cheered as the bride and groom arrived into the cocktail room. We got drink orders for the wedding party and lined up the bridal party to make their grand entrance. Each couple of the wedding party had their own entrance song and they each planned a unique dance as they entered the room.

The couple’s cake was a topsy turvey cake from Cake Noveau and as expected it was a work of art. Quest Productions set up the lighting for the room and later that night as the lights were turned down it transformed into a beautiful green dance party room. Guests danced the night away with the band Collison 6; there was never a moment where the dance floor wasn’t packed.

Jillian and Kevin brought in Dan Lippitt Photography as well as Zara Creative to capture the wedding day. From the sneak peaks on Facebook – I know they caught some amazing moments!

I hope you enjoyed this St. Patrick day wedding, we are so happy that we got to start the wedding season year off with this green wedding. It was fun and we all had a great time helping Jillian and Kevin start their marriage off with a spectacular wedding day!!

Meet Alexy!

What are you most looking forward to from your TwoFoot Creative internship? I am mostly looking forward to getting behind the scenes of planning and putting on an event as beautiful as a wedding. Having the ability to work with great professionals in order to make a guest big day magical is very fulfilling.

What is your favorite wedding movie? It is not really a wedding movie, but my favorite is The Notebook. It is the perfect example of what marriage and love should be.

If you had to pick your future wedding colors and/or theme right now, what would they be? I am very fond of orange which goes along with the Pantone color of the year, Tangerine Tango. However I am in love with the military theme and the semi -formal uniform for example blue and white for a friend that is in the air force. I have not thought too much about the colors but know that I want a destination wedding on a beach next to the ocean.

What are people surprised to learn about you? Most people are surprised to learn that I am the age that I am because of my youthful qualities.

Meet Jillian!

Meet the Yankee Air Museum!

If you love history, planes, or the value of a truly unique space, you might want to look at the Yankee Air Museum for your wedding or rehearsal dinner! The Yankee Air Museum is located in Belleville, MI at Willow Run Airport. The space rents for $1500 for a 6 hour block, which includes tables and chairs. You can add in many other items at a cost, such as:

  • Movie room – great to entertain the kids! They sit in airplane seats while enjoying a movie.
  • Valet parking
  • Education simulator
  • DC-9 Simulator

One of the larger planes is used as a wonderful backdrop (and prop for photos), and dancing takes place under the wing of another plane! You can keep with the theme, or really dress it up with beautiful linens, chivari chairs, and lots of flowers.

We are looking forward to our first wedding there!

How did PrimOvations get started? After 29 years of combined service at the University of Michigan, owners Pat Wright and Shelly Bell decided to forge their combined Culinary and Event expertise to create PrimOvations Catering in 2008.

What is your specialty? The ability to make even the “Simple” seem “Extraordinary”

What is new for 2012 for PrimOvations? New Web site, New Complete Menu Packages, New Partnership as the exclusive Caterer for the Links at Whitmore Lake and an ever growing list of new props and equipment to give every event that special touch.

Do you work off set menus? For the first time we have assembled a full menu package for our clients to select from. We do, however, prefer to work directly with the client to design customize menus based on their own personal food vision, as well as budget.

I’m on a budget – can you help? ABSOLUTELY

Will you also handle alcohol? YES!!! We are insured and have excellent, professionally trained bartending staff.

What food trend do you wish would go away? Old trends never have to actually go away, as long as, we don’t get hung up on them and continue to create new and exciting trends.

Tell me more about your florals and linens? Presentation is paramount to our success. We feel that being able to accent a room with beautiful linens and flowers is an excellent compliment to our fabulous food and fine service. We have an extensive inventory of accent linens and we personally go to a wholesale florist to hand select our flowers, which we assemble ourselves.

What is something that people are surprised to learn about you? The amount of services that we provide and the fine attention to detail that goes into every event.

The Pantone Color of the Year

For spring 2012 designers are inspired by diverse influences, showcasing a range of styles and lifestyles, from free and playful and light and breezy, to contemporary classics. Colors likewise reflect these differing moods, encapsulating vivid brights, soft muted tones and fun-loving pastels.

via www.ShandraWard.com

“Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “They have learned how color can help them alter a mood and provide the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.”

Provocative Tangerine Tango, an enticing juicy orange, is a vivacious and appealing refresher to enliven anyone’s outlook this spring. Providing a jolt of energy, Solar Power radiates warmth and cheer.

Fanciful Bellflower, a distinct ornamental purple, exudes uniqueness and creativity. Scintillating and sexy, Cabaret is a sensual and intense rosy-red — an excellent choice for summer clothing and cosmetics.

Sodalite Blue, a classic maritime hue, brings order and calmness to mind. Like an anchor to a ship, this dependable shade works with every color in the palette. Cockatoo, a tactile blue-green, is sure to make your spirits soar. This unusual hue adds a whimsical touch to the palette and will surely make a statement this spring.

Margarita, a piquant yellow-green, lifts spirits with its refreshing and stimulating glow. Reminiscent of a blossoming garden on an early spring morning, fragrant Sweet Lilac evokes the fresh scents of summer. This delicate pinkish lilac adds a touch of romance to any wardrobe.

Natural versatile neutrals add practicality to this season’s brights. Driftwood, an adaptable blend of beige and gray with a slightly weathered feel, and Starfish, a perfect warm summer neutral, complement all colors featured in this season’s top 10.

For an ultra-bold vibrant look this spring, try mixing Bellflower with Tangerine Tango and Cabaret. Combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Cockatoo for a subtle alternative, or combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Driftwood for a more practical variation. Solar Power is best juxtaposed with Sodalite Blue. For a safer bet, add a natural neutral like Starfish to the mix.

For over 18 years, Pantone, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to bring you the season’s most important color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for spring 2012.
