First, I just want to say that Joe and I are SO incredibly thankful for all of our FABULOUS couples and families that we get to work with! 2012 was definitely an awesome year for us. We truly have been blessed way beyond our expectations and are looking forward to another awesome year!! We have shared in priceless memories, traveled to new amazing places, and made new friendships!! From the bottom of our hearts we thank each and every one of you who has played a part in our year! We can’t begin to express how grateful we are!!

Today were SOOOO EXCITED to share Brynn & John’s amazing three day wedding with you!! It was hands down one the most GORGEOUS weddings of the year!!! Brynn and John are one of the most down to earth couples we know! They live in beautiful California but were married here in Grand Rapids, MI where most of their families live. We actually did not do an engagement session with them due to their busy schedules but it totally didn’t matter, we connected with them and their families right away. Thank you guys for being so warm and welcoming to us! 🙂 The wedding was held at the beautiful Basilica of St Adalbert with a gorgeous reception following in the Ambassador Ballroom at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

Modern day Floral & Events did all of the event design and planning and also provided all the exquisite florals!! Jenn and the entire Modern Day Floral team are exceptional at what they do!! They are known for creating innovative modern designs as well as creating unforgettable events. And let me tell you, that is exactly what they do! We just LOVE working with them and can’t wait for you to see all the juicy details! There was a lot of custom design elements that went into this wedding but I will let Jenn elaborate on all those features on her blog… so make sure to check it out. Huge thanks to Grace Hill with the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel for all of her hard work surrounding this event- You are the Best! And, another Big thanks goes out to my dear friend Kelly for assisting us!

Thank you Brynn and John for sharing your special day with us! It was a complete honor and joy to be part of your Amazing wedding festivities! So glad you guys had an awesome time in Bora Bora!!

I know I say this all the time, but we just LOVE our couples!!! It truly is amazing celebrating the beginning of a couples life together!! Mari & Ross are one of our AWESOME, AWESOME couples who were married this summer here in Grand Rapids, MI. It ended up being one of the HOTTEST days we had here in Michigan but they were total troopers throughout the entire day! We had so much fun working with these two, they are truly adorable together, have an amazing sense of classic style and have super sweet families who made us feel so welcome and loved!! The day was just perfect witha fun little surprise at the end of the night… you’ll see. 🙂 RSVP Events did an beautiful job creating their dream wedding!
