E+M’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of their vision for the day: fun, romantic, and elegant. From the start, M had a clear idea in mind, a soft fall theme with a touch of whimsy. One of her personal favorite elements to incorporate was bows, which we thoughtfully wove into various details throughout the celebration. To bring the couple’s vision to life, we curated a color palette of soft pinks, creams, and blush tones, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere that complemented the fall season. The floral arrangements followed an organic style, with lush blooms arranged in a natural, flowing manner. The florals were paired with an abundance of candles, creating a glowing, intimate ambiance. Some tables featured over 35 candles, which added a magical and romantic feel to the space. The overall effect was soft, dreamy, and elegant, just as M had envisioned. It was an honor to help bring E+M’s vision to life and create a wedding day that was as unique and beautiful as their love.
The day began at the Godfrey Detroit Hotel, where the bride and groom and their bridal party prepared for the big day. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the couple shared joyful moments before walking down the aisle. The hotel’s sleek, modern setting served as the perfect backdrop for the getting-ready photos, creating a balance of sophistication and comfort.
The invitations for E+M’s wedding were custom-designed to reflect the elegant and romantic aesthetic of the entire celebration. We collaborated closely with the couple and our talented stationery designer to craft a suite that featured delicate details, from soft watercolor accents to luxurious paper stock. Together, we ensured that every element, from the fonts to the finishing touches, perfectly captured the essence of their wedding vision. The invitations set the tone for the day, giving guests a glimpse of the beautiful celebration that awaited them.
E+M’s ceremony took place at the bride’s family church, a place filled with sentimental value and tradition. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple exchanged vows and officially became husband and wife. The church’s timeless beauty was enhanced by soft floral arrangements and candles that added warmth and intimacy to the sacred occasion. It was a moment of pure love and joy, marking the beginning of their new life together.
After the ceremony, the new husband and wife, along with their bridal party, traveled to the historic Michigan Central Station for a stunning photo session. The iconic, historic architecture provided a unique and unforgettable backdrop for their photos, adding a touch of timeless elegance and urban charm. The photos captured not only the beauty of the venue but also the joy and excitement of the newlyweds and their loved ones.
After the ceremony, guests were invited to the rooftop bar at the Godfrey Detroit Hotel for an unforgettable cocktail hour. The bar, with its stunning all-glass design, offered sweeping views of the Detroit skyline, making it the perfect location for guests to mingle and enjoy drinks while taking in the breathtaking cityscape. The space was elegantly designed with soft lighting and chic décor, setting the stage for a relaxed yet sophisticated start to the evening.
The reception was the perfect culmination of E+M’s vision for their day. A mix of elegance, romance, and fun was woven throughout every detail, from the stunning floral arrangements to the thoughtful placement of candles around the venue. Guests dined, danced, and celebrated the newlyweds into the night in a warm, intimate setting that truly captured the essence of the couple’s love story. Every element of the reception, from the place settings to the lighting, was designed to create a magical, unforgettable experience.
