On May 2nd I had the great honor of being part of Holly and Justin Phillips wedding. Not only was I able to work with such a great couple but I was able to work with a great group of Vendors:
Wedding Ceremony Venue :: Dewitt Chapel
What a wonderful chapel that has so much natural light within it. Also it has a great courtyard that was wonderful for outdoor pictures!
Reception Venue :: Alumni House
This has to now be my favorite venue for a reception. The room is beautiful and fit into our décor of cottage wedding. But more importantly the staff was amazing!! If there was anything that we needed they found it for us. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Huge KUDOS goes out to Michelle! I have to say I would love for her to become part of our team here at Elements of Elegance! Please note that to rent the Alumni House you must have a affiliation with the university.
Caterer :: Classic Fares GVSU
Aimee and her staff did a great job! The food was amazing and the service was excellent! Many complimented the couple on the great food!
DJ :: Complete Music
Chris and his assistant from Complete Music had the room rockin! From the moment the couple arrived until the last song, they had the guest involved! No one was bored and all were dancing! That is a true sign of a great DJ!
Videographer :: Complete Music & Video
Again a great team! Complete Music & Video actually upgraded Holly and Justin package! They sent two wonderful gentleman and we are very excited to see the final product!
Photography :: Rivercity Photography
Ginny and her second shooter did a nice job of capturing the moments! We are looking forward to see the proofs in the near future…
Decor and Planning :: Elements of Elegance Event Planning and Floral
We were hired for décor and DOC. We had such a great time picking just the right items for this wonderful couple.
Floral Service :: Elements of Elegance Event Planning and Floral
We were hired for personal flowers and floral arrangements for both the ceremony and reception.
Linen Rentals :: A-1 Rental
As always Sue and Aaron did a great job finding me the perfect color buttercup yellow. They are one of two rental companies that Elements of Elegance will use. Their customer service is wonderful along with their prices!!
Wedding Candelabras ;; Wedding Candelabras and More
At first I was a little taken back that my bride wanted candelabras until I saw them!! Kevin and his team carry a wide variety of items that are unusual and fit today’s brides’ style.
Bartending Service :: Bars by Butch
As always they did a wonderful job! And their bartenders are always so personable and easy going.
Cake :: Suzi’s Cakery
The cake was amazing and tasted wonderful!
Hair and Make-up :: Allure Hair Boutique – Liz Smith
What can I say about Liz??? How about how wonderful she was! Her hair and make up designs were out of this world and I would highly recommend her to anyone of my brides.
Limo :: R. Verhey Limo Service
Right on time and actually found us! R. Verhey sent a wonderful driver and he had as much fun as the bridal party!
What a beautiful wedding! There were so many little touches that truly made this wedding amazing and heartfelt. From the table names of places that had a special meaning to the couple to the handmade card box the bride’s grandmother made. The bride’s family is from Canada and in Canada it is customary to actually sign the marriage certificate during the ceremony. It was very touching and something very new for us here at Elements of Elegance. For the design elements, Holly and Justin had chosen a color scheme of buttercup yellow, bright white, and a sliver of a silver accent. They also wanted a very cottage and spring feel to their wedding. We accomplished this with lots of daffodils and tulips as part of their personal flowers and décor of both the chapel and the reception venue.
Best wishes Mr. and Mrs. Phillips and I can’t wait to see you when you get back from your honeymoon!
