Eye Candy
Melissa and Will envisioned a vibrant tent reception on the Tippecanoe Grounds. They choose the striking colors of hot pink and orange to dazzle the guests senses while they danced the night away! The bold colors worked perfectly together at this Early July wedding.
Melissa's bouquet featured an impressive combination of brilliant orange asiatic lilies and vibrant queen pink dendrobium orchids with touches of hot pink sweet william florets. The sweet williams being an ode to her Sweet William =]
Williams boutonniere was so much fun to design! The birds of paradise bloom was set off with hot pink freesia creating a unique and funky design that matched the feeling of the decor.
The Bridesmaids carried single orange asiatic lilies complimented with touches of greens. The design was sweet and delicate against the striking colors of the decor.
The tent at Tippecanoe was the perfect setting for the couples colorful reception. The bold hot pink and orange in the white tent looked great against the lush greens of the Mansion grounds. The elegant white tent canopy that lined the ceiling along with MichaelAngelos crystal chandeliers added that special touch over the dance floor for the grooving guests.
The centerpieces were as fun and funky as the couple! The short centerpiece concept featured dark pink hydrangeas and orange asiatic lilies in a clear glass with a hot pink ribbon wrap which played off the tables orange linen. The tall concepts featured orange asiatic lilies with hot pink spiral twist branches extending from the clear glass vase that had a coordinating orange ribbon wrap. This piece sat on tables with hot pink linens! The centerpieces were complemented with candle light around them and by the newlyweds custom table numbers featuring album covers from their favorite bands! Such a great idea! Floral tucks of orange asiatic lilies and dark pink hydrangeas were fastened to the Bride and Grooms chairs to add an extra special touch for the couple at the reception! The cake, provided by Carmela's at Macri's, was adorned with orange asiatic lilies throughout making it the focal point of the reception!
The couple was such a pleasure to work with as they had such creative ideas! Thank you to Katie Whitcomb for the fantastic photos!

Simple Elegance
Chelsea and Matt picked the perfect venue, The Centre Meeting House in Niles, Mi for their romantic wedding. The chapel provided an intimate setting with many elegant details brought in with the floral and decor. Light pink, lavender and ivory accents were perfect in the all white chapel and played well off the greens from the surrounding forest. Chelsea carried a stunning upright bouquet featuring deep pink hydrangea, light pink roses and touches of lavender tulips. The bouquet was perfect next to her Vera Wang gown!!
For her three girls she choose to feature a single one of her flowers in each of their bouquets: One girl held an all-pink hydrangea bouquet, another held an all-pink rose bouquet, and the third held an all-lavender tulip bouquet. Overall, the look was breathtaking as the girls stood next to Chelsea at the altar. The ceremony itself was very intimate and featured a harpist who added the perfect touch to their romantic nuptials. Lining the aisle and altar of the chapel were 80 cylinder vases with floating candles and rose petals scattered through-out! When the lights were dimmed for the ceremony, the candlelight was breath-taking! MichaelAngelos had the pleasure of coordinating the whole ceremony as well as the reception for Chelsea and Matt, allowing the couple and their families to enjoy the day and not have to worry about a thing!
The reception was held at the classy South Bend Country Club, the perfect ending to their wonderful day. The club looked great with all the pink accents the couple used throughout their centerpieces and decor. A gorgeous cake was made by Rascia's Creative Cakes and Chelsea's own rhinestone brooches were added to the knots of the bows to add that extra sparkle!
The couple were great to work with and you could really feel the love between both families. It was a pleasure being able to not only design the floral and decor for the couple but to be the coordinators of their wedding as well. Wishing them both the best!

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Feel like adding some funk to your wedding day? Consider adding feathers to your floral and decor!! Feathers can have such a striking impact when used in clusters, or just a single feather alone. They give an extra bit of flair to any floral arrangement, bouquet, boutonniere, and more!Feathers come in a variety of choices and styles that can work for any wedding. When used in centerpieces, they can be added in with the floral giving your piece an extra textural detail as well as creating a more dimensional piece. Or, you can use only feathers as your centerpieces to really mesmerize your guests!
Feathers can also be used in floral bouquets or boutonnieres. They come in a variety of colors and patterns to correspond with your choice of floral. They also come in an assortment of textures, from full and plush, to compact and skinny. The different options give you ample opportunity to play with a wide range of designs and looks.
A recent Discovery Ballroom bride of ours, Natalie, also wasn't a huge fan of flowers so we recommended the next greatest thing to her...feathers! To create the perfect backdrop to the nuptials, feathers were hung behind the couple using a clear wire which created the illusion of the feathers floating in mid-air. To really add some extra sparkle, the feathers were accented with hanging crystals. The look was brought together when the flower girl walked down the aisle and tossed feathers from her basket instead of flowers! Check out the images below for some more fun feather ideas!!
