Arjun Turns 1!
Photographer: Abby Rose Photo
Event Planner and Designer: Alison at Viva La Diva
Desserts: Sweet Heather Ann

I received a telephone call from the super talented, Alison, from Viva La Diva and she told me about this very special little client named Arjun, who was turning 1.  Alison had a wonderful idea to create a special secret garden for the little man.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on all the beautiful orange, green and yellow flowers Alison chose for the color palette!  An uber thank you to Abby from Abby Rose Photography for allowing us to use her beautiful photographs.

Come on in...

We even added hand sewn fabric toad stools to the children's table.

If you look close...there are little snails crawling and bubble bees "flying" around the table.  Not real ones of course!

Yummy sweets by Sweet Heather Ann in Ann Arbor.

Jumbo flower balls hung from tree branches that canopied the guest tables.

Each child sat on a handmade toad stool.

Little Arjun:)

Wrapping Up the Season

The tricky part of being in such a seasonal industry is that when all of the chaos is going on, there isn't much time to stop and say "wow, we did that".  We catch a photo here and there, sneak a peak from the photographer, but we never really get to bask in the glory of what an awesome and adventurous season it really was.

Well guess what??? It's October! We've been harassing the photographers from some of our events for about a month now and I'm finally getting some gorg photos rolling in (I hear they get pretty busy too).  We absolutely cannot wait to share them with you!

Prepare yourself this fall/winter season to see photo after photo of our beautiful brides from 2011, raves about some of our industry favs, and a few helpful tips. We'll start to share more of what we're working on, and a behind the scenes look at the fantastic ladies (and a few men) who make it all happen.

For now take a look at some great shots of Casey & Andy's beautiful summer wedding at the Grosse Point Yacht Club, Photographed by the uber talented husband & wife team over at HarrisonStudio.

Couldn't you just look at them all day?
