The Michigan Weddings Hall of Fame
No, there isn’t a specific Hall of Fame for Michigan weddings like those conducted on the gorgeous grounds highlighted at http://www.CastleFarms.com. You can’t visit it and view pictures of the most breathtaking nuptial events to ever occur in the state. However, if a place like that existed, it most definitely would include weddings that mimic the ones detailed below. Read onward and take cues from these nuptial events that left their guests raving about the experience for years afterward. The honorary Michigan Weddings Hall of Fame includes:
• Karrie and Chris’s Castle Farms wedding – Any young girl who ever goes through a princess phase imagines either living in a castle or having a prince rescue her from one. Building on that childhood image, the castle located at Castle Farms (http://www.CastleFarms.com) brings this fantasy to life in the midst of a lush Michigan garden. For Karrie’s wedding, the grandeur of the castle was the main draw in terms of decoration. She wore a traditional bridal gown with sleeves that were very fairy tale-like, while her prince (the groom) sported a tuxedo. The wedding playlist was classic, with Pachebel’s Canon and The Bridal March; for added personalization, Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus was played for the recessional. Afterward, the bride and groom hosted guests on the Castle Farms grounds, where flowers were in bloom and the weather was a perfect 60 degrees. Guests took home personal bouquets with tags that thanked them for being a part of the special day.
• Amy and Jon’s Michigan garden wedding – Amy had always dreamed of being married in the midst of a winter wonderland. She walked down a red carpet “aisle” carrying a muff instead of flowers, and her bridesmaids’ gowns were velvet with edges of white fur. A light dusting of snow covered the landscape, and after the ceremony, guests were ushered indoors and treated to a hot chocolate bar that featured different blends, both alcoholic and virgin. Comforting dishes such as macaroni and cheese and chili served inside sourdough bread bowls awaited everyone, and the wedding cake was surrounded with sugar flowers, the fondant woven in a delightful scarlet and white pattern. Guests walked away from the night warmed from the inside-out, knowing they had just been a part of a very unique event that would long linger in memory.
Make your wedding one worthy of the Michigan wedding Hall of Fame. By harnessing the natural beauty of Michigan and adding your own unique touches, you can craft an event that is unforgettable.
