I'm about to let you in on a little secret. For years and years before I even met my husband, I wanted to get married at Waldenwoods. With it's big private lake, old panelled ballroom, and amazing grounds, it was the perfect place to get married - and SO beautiful.

Before we dive into this beyond beautiful Michigan wedding from Kelly Sweet Photography, I just have to say - prepare for the summer wedding to jump top to your "Favorite Summer Weddings" list. Set on the quaint Mackinac Island, the wedding took full advantage of the charming Michigan setting. The island does not allow cars, so in true Mackinac fashion, the bride planned a wedding centered around horse-drawn carriages and, of course, yellow... [MORE]

But that is just some of the entertainment from this fabulous wedding.

I'm going to start this happy dance of a wedding off with a quote from the Bride and I know that is so 10th grade English of me but I'm going to do it anyway. " I wanted my wedding to feel like you walked out of a J. Crew catalog into an Anthropologie catalog and had an intense desire to play croquet." Perfection and totally sums up this day shot by Julie Harmsen Photography. It's bright, shiny, and ever so happy despite... [MORE]

We're traveling to my hometown today - beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan. And there's no better way to visit, than with this University of Michigan Museum of Art wedding stuffed full of all sorts of sweet and quirky details.

I was dumbfounded when I discovered that this crafty bride created her Michigan wedding, photographed by Kelly Sweet Photography, almost entirely by herself (with a little help from friends and family). There is a traditional element but, when certain conventional elements didn't appeal to them, the couple put their own unique spin on things. I love the paper flowers that the bride handcrafted along with the gold painted branches... [MORE]
