We closed down Dolores Avenue on Saturday (the 180

We closed down Dolores Avenue on Saturday (the 1800 block), set up 136 chairs in the street while friendly neighbors set up camp chairs on their porch. We carried a pretty chuppah to that sweet spot under the tree that leans gracefully over the road, lit some candles and tucked the mazel tov glass in M&D's mailbox to be retrieved at the end of a ceremony that had me tearing up on the sidewalk with vow quotes like, "I walked into kindergarten on the first day, pointed at you and said I'm going to marry you and here we are. I'm marrying you." "I am completely uninterested in a life without you" (borrowed from the movie "About Time") and commitment on both sides to daily walks with the family dog because those are some of life's best moments together. We could have packed up and gone home right then, it was so romantic on such a perfect fall day with sunlight filtering thru trees ablush with color.
.
Instead, we packed those chairs from the street onto a dolly and while guests sipped cider cocktails on the lawn, we set the chairs around tables under a cleartop tent, lit a hundred more candles, and moved the party to M&D's backyard. It was a scene we'd been dreaming of for over a year. It was light and nature, a conservatory vibe that M&D had searched the state to find in a venue, only to conclude that the perfect way to celebrate creating a life and a home in each other was to welcome their favorite people to their own home. The design was a striking balance of eclectic textural elements and contemporary simplicity with candlelight, twinkle lights, greenery, and a few autumn leaves to accent the clear tent above. Sublime. Intentionally understated and intriguing. Totally them. Truly an extension of their home.
.
When we do a thing that hasn't been done, it's because someone decided to dream big. I love that. I encourage it. I want in on those kinds of dreams always. It's a wild ride of planning and big dreams come with big expectations from all of us. Saturday was better than our big expectations. M summed it up on Sunday. "We are so blessed."

Just a little peak at M&D's backyard wedding scene

Just a little peak at M&D's backyard wedding scene from Saturday. Fancy reel and recap in the works.

We're rolling into day 2 of setup at M&D's home in

We're rolling into day 2 of setup at M&D's home in Lathrup Village, savoring the anticipation that's been building thru more than a year of planning, thru the last couple months of finalizing details, and especially in these days of seeing it all begin to come to life. The A-team from @eventtheorymi unloaded a giant box truck of rentals, erected a tent in the backyard, and decked it out with lights. Our caterer stopped by for a walk-thru. The restroom got delivered to it's cute corner. The florist texted pics of M's bouquet to ensure it was perfect for her (it was). Sarah and Alexi drive down tonight and Autumn joins us at the air bnb tomorrow. MaryAnn is the local talent to round out our j+l weekend team.
.
There is something about fall or maybe even something about 2022 that inspires a deeper intent to savor the moments, to be fully present as one season slips into another, and as anticipation slips into celebration, then on into nostalgia. We're lucky to be in the throes of these moments, lucky to be in seasons of celebration, lucky to be in the backyard this weekend with some of the best souls 🥂.

Even when we're inside, we like to see the outside

Even when we're inside, we like to see the outside, in this case, 36 floors up with a view of Boston fading from daylight into sunset into city lights and candlelight. Magical.
.
We have an itinerary of 24 weddings this year and 8 of them involve some overnight digs. This is the year I installed AirBnB, Turo, and Lyft aps on my phone. I love it. Thanks for keeping us adventurous, 2022 couples 🥂.
.
We'll be on the southeast side of Michigan this weekend. I started loading the truck last night. I've got a few stops for pretty things on the ride south today and by tomorrow, we'll watch one of those tents that let's you see the outside when you're inside go up in M&D's backyard. So much goodness in the works to kick off October.

We usually say a lot of our wedding weekends are p

We usually say a lot of our wedding weekends are perfect, but when the bride & groom say it, along with multiple family members, it feels that much more special. It really was a perfect day for a wedding in Northern Michigan for M+K 🤍
•
The perfect day started with the @teamhairandbeauty accentuating M and her ladies’ beauty, along with a couple flower girls who wanted to look just like Aunt M. @exposuresbyrah arrived and found magic to capture in a sweet first look with M and her dad and then one with M+K in the beautiful garden overlooking Northport Bay.
•
Guests arrived to take in the spectacular view set for the intimate wedding, adorned with floral loveliness from @indiegrowflower , to be performed by Uncle Paul with the help of a bubble cascade send off for the newlyweds 🫧
•
Dinner was set among the blues, greens, golds and dark wood tones of the fall inspired palette we love to see in September. A sweetheart table built by M+K was a beautiful sentiment to the new beginning they were building together as they heard their loved ones share stories in their toasts before a delicious dinner from @smokeandporter.
•
Drinks from @verterrawinery and @rightbrainbrewery and music from Scott at Northern Michigan DJ, gave guests a chance to show off their best dance moves before having a sweet treat from @sugarbuzztc to watch the sun set on a wonderful day of celebration. The night officially ended with a little bowling fun at @thenpginnorthport with more laughs and memories made together with their closest friends and family.
•
To M+K, we wish you many years of love and adventure and more perfect weekends like this one. Love, your ATRM 😉😄💕 (Em)
