october 10, 2009 was a cold, rainy day, but the weather perked up just in time for a beautiful october 11 wedding, full of rich, fall colors and a delighted wedding couple.
we added a lot of personal touches to mindy and shawn's wedding. since the couple is really into the outdoors, we used a lot of earthy elements, from a moss and river rock escort card table, to wooden bowls that held wispy willow branches and decadent assortments of fall flowers. mindy's veil incorporated pieces of her mother's veil, the chuppah was hand-made by the bride's godmother, and the groom's father became ordained and performed the ceremony.
mindy and shawn even had mini bride and groom cake toppers made to match their outfits, including shawn's green tie.
before the ceremony, the couple braved the cold outdoors for some fabulous photos reflecting the beautful michigan foliage, and even posed for a few art deco shots in the restaurant's wine room!
the two danced the night away with family and friends, and guests got to take home souvenir photo-booth photos!
venue: crowne plaza novi, michigan
