Celebrate Your Love in Nature’s Embrace

February 14, 2024

Spring is around the corner are we are swooning over the thought of warmer weather and outdoor weddings.

Feeling the sun on your face while watching one of your loved ones get married just makes us feel (no pun intended) warm : ) The delicate breeze from the custom paper fan you found on your seat, the little piece of grass that got stuck to the bottom of your heel, the smell of the salty air or freshly pruned evergreen trees – all special hints of an outdoor wedding.

Outdoor weddings can be an extravagant destination, your family’s backyard, or somewhere in between. No matter the location, they are always something truly special.

We had the privilege to work with Kelly and Zach during their engagement season and within a year and a half, they truly became friends. For their outdoor wedding, they introduced us to the charming and breathtaking Grand Traverse Bay. We loved developing a personal connection with them, which allowed us to bring their vision and storytelling details to life.

THE VENUE

Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms is a fourth-generation cherry farm and the beautiful backdrop for many destination weddings in Northern Michigan. Their wedding experience is for those seeking breathtaking views of Grand Traverse Bay and an elegant, high-end outdoor experience.

THE DESIGN

A timeless and elegant experience brought to life with soft blues, floral touches, and beautiful patterns.

Mixing wedding colors and patterns can have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of the event. When done correctly, it can create a cohesive and visually pleasing aesthetic that adds depth and interest to the decor.

When designing this wedding, we loved finding the right balance between color and pattern to create a look that was both elegant and sophisticated.

THE DETAILS

Custom flower petal cones and paper fans for guests to cool off. No detail is too great or too small.

Paying attention to the little things like the color of your napkins, the font on your invitations, and the design of your place cards can help tie everything together and create a cohesive look and feel. These details elevate the overall aesthetic and make your wedding feel more personalized and unique.

In addition to aesthetics, small details can also contribute to the overall experience of your guests! Providing thoughtful touches like these paper fans on a hot day can make your guests feel appreciated and cared for, which can go a long way in creating a memorable and enjoyable wedding day.

It’s details that can help make your wedding day truly special and unique. Take the time to consider the little things, and you’ll be sure to create a wedding that you and your guests will always remember!
