Pretty in Pink

This beautiful event took place at the Blue Heron at Blackthorn. Once again, Anna and her team did an outstanding job in meeting the clients wishes. Jenny lead the team well and organized and the food was beautifully presented.

It was a picture perfect day following a ferocious night of storms. We were so fortunate to have power. Many area venues, including the couples host hotel, were without.

A vibrant combination of raspberry pink tones were used. We focused on the Stargazer lily and designed our color palette around this brides' favorite bloom.

We created a budget friendly environment that stretched the dollars spent very effectively. Our goal, like with any event, is to maximize the impact of the entire atmosphere, within the clients budget!

SBChilds were great photographers from Indianapolis that took photos of the details. We look forward to seeing some of their favorites in the coming weeks.

Veils and Vows photo shoot

We had the pleasure of creating a beautiful 'Seaside Tablescape' for the Summer Issue of Veils and Vows magazine. The staff allowed us complete design creativity by only giving us the color palette for inspiration. We were pleased with the final look! Check it out for yourself by picking up your copy of Veils and Vows!

Aay's Rental helped us out by providing the chairs and place-settings; ProShow provided the lighting and Joya from Spark Fine Stationery provided unique papery designs for the finishing touches.

Feedback

Often times while I'm coordinating an event I think it simply isn't fair that I get all the words of appreciation from the guests, the families and the honored couple. I wish my whole team could experience it. I love what I do. I love my team. They do a great job and I want to let them know how much I appreciate them!
Here's a note I received Monday morning from our bride last weekend.

"Hi Cher!

Oh, wow!  A simple thank you just doesn't seem like enough.  You helped us to create just the kind of wedding we envisioned.  It was warm and wonderful in every way and we are so grateful to you and your staff for everything!  You went above and beyond to create a very special day for us and I sincerely appreciate it.  The ceremony area outside was beautiful.  Floyd showed me the picture of you in your full wading gear, outfitted to decorate the bough hovering over the water in the pond!  And I loved the way you decorated the room for the reception -- it was just what I had in mind and I thought it looked and felt great.

It was such a pleasure working with you.  I think you are a terrific wedding planner and a wonderful person.

All the best to you,
Amy "


It's such a great feeling to know our team cares so much and works so hard on all the details that go into each event. Thank you to my Details and Design Specialists for the attitude and effort you bring.

Palais Royale

Celler Door- at the Ramada Inn

Oh how we love the this color combo!!! Clover Green, Sunny Yellow, and Vibrant ORANGE! This fun and fabulous wedding reception was held at Cellar Door located in the Ramada Inn, downtown South Bend.

Candles and bud vases hung from the ceiling throughout Cellar Door, adding to the  fun and whimsical decor. 

River rock and curly willow sprigs were added to the centerpieces to incorporate the groom's love of the outdoors.
