Christin & Jake’s wedding took place on Saturday, January 18th 2014. They were one of the most amazing couples we've ever had the honor of working with! Christin was a calm, loving and humble bride who really listened to my advice when designing her event and allowed me a lot of creative control during the designing process. Jake was a sweet, supportive and gentle fiancé who made sure his sense of humor kept things funny! Christin communicated to me what she liked and gave me a guideline for colors and let me run with it. It was a truly successful and beautiful event. The wedding ceremony was at the breath-taking chapel in the Grosse Pointe Academy. The wedding reception was at the gorgeous Colony Club in the 3rd Floor Ballroom. Our favorite venue spot! The bridal flowers floral design was created of a soft wintery palette of white lisianthus, hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, freesia and mini calla lilies with rich under tones of plum and lavender roses, stock and mini calla lilies. The groom designed a boutonniere made out of antlers for his avid hunter brother who played the role of Best Man. We created lush and full topiary style arrangements of purple stock, white & purple hydrangea and ivory & lavender roses. We added a touch of glam to the arrangements with hanging crystals and hanging candles. Opposite of those centerpieces were sets of cylinder vases in varying heights made of purple hydrangea, lavender roses and white calla lilies. The place settings were finished with a herringbone bordered antique gold charger plate. We used embroidered gold sequined linens to set the captain’s table off from the rest. The in-house gold chiavari chairs of the Colony Club were given an ivory chiffon chair wrap with a rhinestone broach to soften their lines.
The photography of Bill Mcdad is breathtaking and you can see how much this couple loves each other in the captured moments. It’s an honor that I can say I was a part of their magical day! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Canter!
