WEDDINGDAY 3

FROM THE EDITOR Enough has already been said and written about 2020. Our typically happy and joyous industry has been turned upside down, and no one was exempt from the fears, disruptions and at worst the pain of losing a loved one.

Northern Indiana Cover Shoot Team

Southwest Michigan Cover Shoot Team

The wedding industry will survive – and we will be even stronger than before! Trends such as micro-weddings have taken center stage, but will that trend continue? The same with destination weddings – will the lock down that we’ve experienced over the past six months increase our desire for travel? Time will certainly tell, but I can tell you that the wedding industry will adapt and embrace!

WeddingDay has also looked at creative ways to continue serving our readers in a way that makes sense in today’s climate. We allowed our digital reach to lead the path for six digital editions from six cities where our website traffic is strongest. Six editions – all with their own custom cover shoot teams! It truly was a special time, with many obstacles in the way to make them happen, but an experience that I’m sure the participants will never forget.

At the end of the year, we will launch our much-anticipated annual print Look Book 2021 issue that will be a beautiful and inspirational coffee table guide for couples planning a wedding.

We couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds for us – for the wedding industry - and for you – as you plan one of the most important events in your life!

VEN UE:

Stonegate Manor Benton Harbor, MI

Lauren and Elijah Truer's lush garden wedding is summer romance at its finest! The natural atmosphere of the Fairy Garden at Stonegate Manor tied perfectly into the ceremony's casual boho theme. To carry the outdoor feel inside, there was a fern leaf tucked into each napkin at the dinner table.

WEDDINGDAY 11

Lauren urges engaged couples to give themselves grace as they plan out their big day. "You are your own biggest critic on your wedding day. Relax, have fun and soak in as much as you can!"

"Our goal was to have an intimate and memorable ceremony for the two of us, but also have some photos to share with all of our family and friends who weren’t able to come," Nadia says. "We feel like we were able to have the best of both worlds due to the creativity of our photographer and the unique venue that we could shoot at."

SEASON: Fall

V E NU E :

Jerico Studio Kalamazoo, MI

It might have rained on the morning of Nadia and Josh's elopement, but it didn't ruin their fun! The couple originally planned on saying "I do" in a nature preserve but pivoted to a small studio ceremony instead. The couple used false flowers for their bouquets and boutonnières, giving total flexibility for photos while still looking drop-dead gorgeous!

Within the rolling countryside of Southwest Michigan lies Gable Hill; a barn nestled in the woods, surrounded

by Streater’s Mill Pond and set upon 13 picturesque acres.

At Gable Hill, we accommodate events for 200 guests including weddings, family reunions, and work-related functions. Ample space for catering services has been provided within the barn for your convenience.

For weddings, a lovely outdoor ceremony area overlooks the pond and within a short walk is the bridal cottage where wedding parties can relax and prepare for their day in comfort. No detail has been overlooked in order to make any event at Gable Hill a memorable one.

Getting a new license from the local Bureau of Motor Vehicles office requires a few documents, namely your old license, the original marriage license and your new Social Security card.

Remember to change your address if you have moved after the wedding.

The easiest way to do this is to visit your local branch in person.

Take your new license, your marriage license and your new Social Security card, and ask for your name to be changed on your account. Request new checks, debit cards and credit cards with your new name.

UPDATE YOUR LAST NAME

If you visit the Social Security Administration’s website, you can find an application for a change of name here. This is a free service. Print the application, fill it out, and include any required documents. You can either take your application to a nearby Social Security office or mail it in. You should receive your new card with your new last name in approximately 10 days.

When your new Social Security card comes in the mail, meet with your HR manager at work to switch your name over. This includes payroll, 401k, your insurance benefits, stocks etc.

MARRIAGE LICENSE FROM THE CLERK’S OFFICE The original license should come from the clerk’s office where your license was filed. One should automatically be sent to you a couple weeks after the wedding.

The original document should have a raised seal and your new last name. Also, it’s a good idea to request copies.

YLE SHOO T S

We’re absolutely over the moon to celebrate the winners of WeddingDay’s second annual Style Shoot Design Contest! Our team was thrilled to see the variety of submissions we received, each utilizing the Pantone Color of the Year, Classic Blue, and an original take on one of our pre-selected themes: Artistic Touch, Out of This World, Destination Wedding, Sustainable Wedding and Think Palm Springs! While this was an extremely close call between all the gorgeous designs created, we had one winner that stood out above the rest.

And we couldn’t help but share the stunning work of the runner up and the talent of our three favorite finalists!

WEDDINGDAY

Grace Pulver Photography and Celebrated Events took us on a journey filled with stardust and magic. Dubbed “Stardust Solstace,” this celebration set out to tell a story and succeeded in every aspect.

"Our shoot centers around the wedding of a celestial being and a young man fascinated by the night sky and in particular, one star that seems to appear nightly, shining brightly above him,” explains Cyndi Basker, owner of Celebrated Events. “As all stars can, this celestial being produces her own light, and night after night, she shines as she watches him watch her.

She falls in love with him, and one night, decides to fall to earth, where she finds him looking for her in the night sky. Knowing they are destined to be together, they decide to marry.”

Every detail of this shoot relates back to this story.

Cyndi notes that the team chose décor that reflected both the earth and sky, showcasing how the two are connected. The handpainted glassware, candles and golden flatware were picked to reflect a specific lunar style. The plates were specifically aligned to mimic the golden rays of the sun against the dark phases of the moon. And speaking of lunar style, we’re simply blown away by the custom made crescent moon, painted Classic Blue and covered in blue plumosa!

WEDDINGDAY 49

When considering locations for this shoot, the team wanted to find somewhere with lots of seclusion, and Gable Hill was the ideal choice.

Cyndi adds, “We wanted to use nature as our backdrop, including the sky as it moved from dusk to darkness. It feels almost like a sacred space amidst the majesty of the nature that envelopes you. It's almost as if you are in another, private world of your own, away from technology, and the hustle of everyday life.”

The florals in this shoot are another huge win in our book. Using blue plumosa, ferns, hostas, solomon seals and aranthera orchids, amongst others, the style achieved was moody and atmospheric. “We wanted to use floral/foliage and greens that felt organic to keep in harmony with the natural setting of the shoot,” Cyndi says. “We wanted the florals to have a wild, unfettered and perhaps a bit of an unconventional feel.”

This otherworldly landscape deserves a shining bridal star! There are so many parts to this look that make the model look like an ethereal goddess.

Hair and makeup artist Beauty and Bliss helped this bride’s organic beauty shine by keeping her look as natural as possible. The custom headpiece is bursting with stars, perfect for any celestial bride! The gown was chosen because of its sunray design, sheer lace and sequins that have an overall shimmering effect. “We love the modern twist on iconic imagery!” Cyndi gushes.

Their love is written in the stars. Shayne of Shayne Culp Photography coordinated and captured a celestial love story of an offbeat couple in a way that left us speechless. Classic Blue peeks subtly throughout this shoot in ways that we love: in the bridal suit, the square bouquet and the blue chocolate glazed cake. “The vision was meant to be colorful and celestial without going over the top. I’m so happy with the results,” Shayne notes.

WEDDINGDAY

We’ve got an eye for detail, and Shayne and her team did not disappoint. Marble plates, jeweled toned glasses and table linens provided by AAYS Event Rentals transformed this tablescape into a sunburst of color. Shayne says, “Suns and moons are everywhere in the shoot in little ways. This was a really cool way to play it up in the dishes.”

The rock candy is the perfect sweet treat for any wedding guest. “They’re delicious and a really cute affordable favor for guests,” Shayne adds. And can we talk about that gorgeous cake? We’re swooning over the gold dusting in this confection!

The true showstopper is the design of the bridal looks. The team drew from romantic and whimsical styles while working to flatter their model’s bodies.

We love the team’s take on unique additions, such as the bridal cape and flowers woven into the bridal attendant’s beard. The handcrafted headpiece was the best way to top off this gorgeous celestial celebration!

You can feel the spark of true love in Alison and Paul's extravagant wedding! The opulent theme drew from the natural atmosphere of the Chapel at the Morris Estate. "The Chapel was unique, intimate and just had a special feeling the moment we stepped inside," Alison notes.

We love how the splashes of navy and rose add a touch of cozy warmth to this elegant style!

WEDDINGDAY

THE VENUE Farrand Hall is a dreamy farmhouse tucked away in the countryside of Colon, Michigan.

It was the perfect choice for this shoot because of its unique historical atmosphere and expansive outdoor space. Emily explains, “As couples everywhere are having to reimagine their weddings, I’ve seen many turn to intimate backyard receptions. I wanted this shoot to reflect real weddings that are happening right now across the country, and Farrand Hall showcases how elegant and high-end a backyard wedding can really be while still bringing in that intimate and familiar element that I adore so much.”

LEIDY & JOSH PHOTOGRAPHY

THE VISION You’ll get carried away in the elegant atmosphere of this modern and whimsical shoot. Emily Salomon, owner of Southwest Michigan planning company Connolly House Events, wanted to push the boundaries of color by using Classic Blue, the Pantone Color of the Year. “Instead of exaggerating either aesthetic, my goal was to subtly tie together both modern and whimsical elements through textures, florals and shapes,” she says. “I want couples who are in the midst of planning or replanning their wedding to see just how beautiful a backyard intimate wedding can be.” Husband and wife photographer duo and owners of Southwest Michigan photography team, Leidy and Josh Photography, captured every detail of this gorgeous shoot.

WEDDINGDAY 81

THE FLORALS The soft spoken floral arrangements have a lot to say about color.

Grand Rapids florist Cass and Jean Flower Co. hand-dyed orchids Classic Blue to seamlessly tie the florals in to the shoot’s light and airy color scheme. By highlighting lesser used flowers such as baby’s breath and carnations, the team created an organic style that captures natural grace.

THE LOOK Just one dress wasn’t enough for this shoot--Holland, Michigan bridal boutique Spring Sweet provided two gowns for this shoot to shine. The first gown’s whimsical silhouette has a gorgeous ethereal look, while the second is sleek, simple and totally modern. The model’s hair and makeup, styled by Teal Dempsey of Wild Emerald Bridal, gives us sleek, romantic vibes. The pearl jewelry and headpiece tops off this elegant look! Paired with the groom's classy attire from The Groomsman Suit, this couple looks sharp as ever!

THE DÉCOR The atmosphere of this whimsical shoot was topped off by the combination of modern and vintage décor provided by Eden Woods Wedding Rentals.

Church pews and an antique pulpit were added to cultivate a traditional look in the ceremony. The wooden crossback chairs blend a special earthiness into the reception to incorporate the backyard setting, while the coffee table books, accent items and jewelry boxes brought a personal touch.

THE CAKE & DESSERTS This cake makes a big statement with brushstrokes of Classic Blue! Lowell, Michigan bakery Deirdre's Cakes & Bakes not only incorporated the color scheme into her threetiered confection, but also created scrumptious, stylized geometric cookies. The hand-painted detail on these cookies makes them look almost too good to eat!
