Recognition Societies Post- Game Party

Notre Dame asked us to create a festive environment for the Recognition Societies Post- Game  Celebration, our goal was to design a fun and energetic atmosphere that becomes the must see place on campus, post game.


Complete with a DJ, Pro Show, the "Endzone" Lounge was designed to resemble a bar right inside Mckenna Hall.




The Lobby of Mckenna hall was decorated in traditional and fun Notre Dame Flair .






With all bases covered inside, including the "Sidelines" kids area, filled with crafts, toys, movies, and games, we also designed a game day atmosphere outside. 



Merry Me! enjoyed being apart of the game day spirit on campus and look forward to the last few home games, with an Irish Win!!

Inspiration Boards




Over the past year we have provided Brides with Inspiration Boards, we create these after meeting with the bride and understanding what the couple wants as the overall feel of their wedding.  Inspiration Boards, unite all of the components they have shared with us and our designs  creating one overall vision ( or atmosphere.) All while allowing the Bride to see their event in a unique way, seeing all of the elements come together before the actual event serves as a great reference to the bride and other vendors as they continue on with the planning process.  



Here are a few Inspiration Boards from past events:  








We enjoy searching and pulling photos for Inspiration Boards, as you can see each and every board is uniquely created for every bride. This is a great reference for us as well, as we continue on with the design process creating the wedding of the couples dreams!

The Whitcomb - St. Joe Michigan





Surrounded by family and friends,  Stacy and Randy said their I Do's on the the Beach in St. Joe Michigan. Love the way our canopy looks against the Lake Michigan backdrop! What a fun couple, we enjoyed working with Stacy so much! Looks like Lifetime Photography had as much fun shooting the newlyweds as we did planning and designing their special day!





Thanks to  everyone at The Veranda at the Whitcomb and for Ned at ProShow for keeping the dance floor packed!
