30 October, 2008 – 1:06 pm

Some say that portraits are making a “comeback.” I say they never left.
Here are three from Lauren and Jan’s wedding that I just love.

Jan + Lauren: Sneak Peek

19 October, 2008 – 9:29 pm

Lauren and Jan were married yesterday at Kirk in the Hills. The church is absolutely stunning and is one place in the Detroit area that I have always wanted to photograph.
The day was extra special for the couple because a number of Jan’s family members were able to make the trip from their home in Germany in order to attend the wedding.
And do note Lauren’s gorgeous birdcage veil. Don’t you love it? She made it herself! (And she’s going to tell us how she did it when she returns from her honeymoon.)
Congratulations, Jan and Lauren. We were delighted to share your wonderful day.

Reception: The Heathers Club, Bloomfield Hills, MI

Design Tuesday: Be Inspired

16 September, 2008 – 12:37 am

Cheryl’s wedding details were a true reflection of the bride herself: classic, simple, understated, hip. Together with her sister, Tina, Cheryl created a tasteful and elegant decor for her wedding reception Saturday night at D’Amato’s Restaurant in Royal Oak.

Working with a classic color scheme of Tiffany blue, cream, white, and chocolate brown, she was able to perfectly merge her vision with D’Amato’s casually elegant ambiance. Of particular interest: small tins of M&Ms, ordered in custom colors, which took the place of the traditional (and sometimes tired) escort cards. These were placed at each place setting and guests were greeted and escorted to their seats by the maid of honor. I thought this was a wonderfully personal touch.

The small cream hydrangea centerpieces were beautiful as well. They contributed to an elegant tablescape, while still allowing the guests to see each other during dinner. I would love it if this became a trend!

Please enjoy the inspiration board from Cheryl and Vince’s wedding. I hope to make Design Tuesday a regular Loose Talk feature.
