Stephanie Loves Derrick

On August 11th 2012 my team and I helped coordinate and design Stephanie and Derrick's wedding in Flint, MI. The traditional ceremony was held in the beautiful and historic Bethel United Methodist Church where we used adorable white tissue poms to decorate the pews to go with our "Whimsical Chic" wedding theme. Yellow spray rose pomanders added the perfect amount of color to the altar space.

Stephanie looked beautiful and in her instantly classic White by Vera Wang gown. The bridesmaids wore adorable and very stylish short gray gowns that they could indeed wear again and again. 

The bridal bouquet consisted of exquisite pink peony roses with yellow spray rose accents. The bridesmaids carried yellow rose bouquets with pit collars. The groom and groomsmen had simple and classic yellow rose boutonnieres with decorative wire accents.

The reception was held at The Durant in downtown flint, steps away from the iconic Flint Arches. The Durant has been painstakingly remodeled and only recently opened up its doors for outside events. The beautiful lobby area was used for cocktail hour hour while guests munched on hors d'oeuvres such as hummus and pita bread, veggies with various dipping sauces, and shrimp skewers. With the lobby being grand and stunning all on its own, not much decor was needed in the space so we stuck with several bud vases of hot pink and yellow flowers scattered among the service and guests tables. 

The party then moved into the ballroom. In keeping with our Whimsical Chic theme, white table linens were graced with gray overlays. We then added 3 carnation pomanders of varying sizes to each guest table. Yellow napkins were folded to look like bow ties which added the perfect touch of whimsy.

Extra touches included rose petals and candles adorning the bathroom counter tops, tissue poms scattered among the popcorn favor bar, decorative ceremony and reception signage, and handmade ceremony programs and a handcrafted escort board.
