Elegant, simple, whimsical. Maybe contradictory descriptions, but my daughter designed a beautiful wedding with all these elements. She let the setting be the star at both the church and the venue and the whole day was nothing short of amazing.
Sweetest Heart of Mary church in Detroit is historical, Polish and quite ornate. We knew her dress needed to make a statement as she walked down the very long aisle. So, we found the perfect elegant statement dress and purchased extra length on her cathedral length veil. Her vision came together beautifully.
The reception venue was at a lovely old mansion on Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe and we were able to utilize the terrace overlooking the water for cocktail hour since it was a spectacular Michigan summer night of 78 degrees and perfectly blue skies. The guests raved about the whole experience and we were thrilled too.
Once the doors opened for dinner seating, the whole evening; from food to speeches to dancing, was filled with love for the couple and a lot of fun too. The photos I have collected from others tell the story and once we receive more from the photographer, more details will be shared, but I think the beauty and fun of the wedding day shine through.
The bride is an event planner and designs weddings for others. She outdid herself on making her wedding reflect both her and the groom in such a perfect way. The MOB and FOB were very happy.
Such a gorgeous wedding. The Bride is stunning and the church and reception venue are just perfect. I'm So happy for your family. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! We are happy 😀
DeleteWhat a beautiful wedding! You look more like the sister of the bride, not the mother. Where did you get your dress? It’s beautiful. And where was the reception? I’m another empty nester living in the Detroit metro area and wintering in Naples. My two daughter’s weddings were over ten years ago and this brought back good memories.
ReplyDeleteThank you! My dress is from Dillards. The reception was at The War Memorial in Grosse Pointe. We live in Venice full time.
DeleteBeautiful family and wedding, and wonderful memories to last a lifetime.
