Last weekend’s wedding took place in Grand Rapids! I only spent 15 minutes in the car getting to the salon and was back in my own bed by midnight. It almost felt like cheating. I need more Grand Rapids weddings next year. ;)
Meeting Lindsey and her mother, Diane, months ago, I knew this day would be special. They are truly precious women for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration. This was my first experience with a Christian Orthodox ceremony and it definitely left it’s mark. One interesting thing to note — there are no spoken vows in the ceremony as the whole ceremony is considered a vow. I love that. The sanctuary is also unbelievable. Jenn at Modern Day Floral did a superb job with the design and orchestration of the details, including making the Ambassador Ballroom at Amway Grand Hotel sparkle!
Lindsey and Pat, thank you for your kindness and your hospitality! I sure hope the hurricane didn’t disrupt your honeymoon too much!

First up — a few details… This Kenneth Pool gown caught the light unlike any other dress I’ve ever seen! So stunning.
