Real Wedding Story: Kayley & Christian
Kayley and Christian are two of the most genuine and kind people we have ever met! Seeing the love that these two had for not only each other, but also their family and friends was so special. This wedding was a little extra fun for Amber as well, who used to work with Kayley! Guests could really feel the love and amount of thought that the couple put into all of their wedding details.
The scenic Waldenwoods Resort served as their ceremony and reception venue for their September 8th wedding, which ended up being perfectly overcast and 70 degrees! Kayley and Christian were drawn to this venue, because of it’s classic and historical look. Lush rose petals led the way down the aisle to the stunning floral installation on the pergola by Violet Rose Floral, where they would soon be married. The classic and elegant sounds of Horizon Strings, Inc. ushered the bridal party down the aisle where Kayley’s grandfather officiated their heartfelt ceremony. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed passed appetizers and drinks on the back lawn with a unique vintage furniture lounge provided by Ruby Slipper Design. Inside the Cromaine Lodge at Waldenwoods, tables were decorated with ivory satin linens, creatively folded blush satin napkins, lush floral compote centerpieces alternating with candle collections. The floral palette for their wedding was the perfect introduction into fall with burgundy, blush, greenery and full of texture.
Kayley and Christian were all about letting their guests see their fun side too! These two came dancing into their reception to the theme song from Top Gun, decked to the nines! Kayley also surprised Christian with a creative baseball groom’s cake and wedding cake made by Patisserie Angelica, who is located near Kayley’s hometown in California. Kayley’s parents (who still reside in California) had wine shipped out from a family friend’s vineyard to provide a little taste of home! Guests also enjoyed delectable mini cupcakes from Love & Buttercream, a s’mores station while using ShutterBooth - Southeast Michigan throughout the evening. Mary Ann Productions kept the dance floor packed all night with the perfect mix for this fabulous couple and their friends. The evening was capped off with a thank you speech from the groom and sparkler exit!
Congratulations Kayley and Christian, we loved every minute of working with you and your wedding day!
