AAYS Event Rentals is Michiana’s most trusted name in all things rental since 1966. Look to us for innovation in style, texture, and creativity for the ultimate experience for your wedding. We provide only high-quality rental products you’ll be proud to show your guests. For a no-stress, no-worry service level, AAYS remains “Always At Your Service!” From tents, tables, chairs, lounge furniture, table linens, drape and fabric treatments, dinnerware, flatware, glassware, and décor, our vast inventory and expertise will help make your wedding remarkable! What advice would you give brides on choosing an event rental company for their wedding day? Look for an experienced rental company. A company that has helped lots (or thousands, in our case) of clients with a variety of event types – large and small – because the more experience they have, the better service and quality you can expect. Plan a face-to-face meeting and check out their products to ensure a large selection is available to you. Allow them to provide a quote based on an outline of your wedding and, most importantly, understand the specific items quoted and why. An experienced rental company knows what to provide and will not leave details hanging or cause you to have add-ons later. Lastly, if a cost is too

Katie Whitcomb Photography

good to be true, it probably is. Rental pricing should be relative to your area and the quality of products and services; however, it will always be the most cost-effective approach for a wedding. What should brides be looking for to make sure they have all of their bases covered well? We always encourage conducting a site visit to your venue with your vendors. Try to include as many vendors as possible to ensure everyone has input making for a genuinely collaborative effort. You might be surprised by what comes up! In our experience, this process gains real efficiencies in terms of what’s needed, as well as covers all the bases. What sets your company apart from the others in the area? Our reputation for exceptional customer service, of which we are very proud, speaks volumes. Let’s face it, there are a lot of moving parts in a wedding, and you need a rental vendor that is responsive and flexible. While others talk about it, you can rest assured that AAYS delivers. Our exceptional service is why we’re the preferred rental vendor with planners, caterers, venues, and others in our area. We are “Always at Your Service!”

Weddings may look a little different this year, but what a time to remember! With so many amazing wedding professionals in the area, your wedding day will be special and elegantly accommodated by so many. Please don't lose hope, but focus on what can be done at this time and how love can make all things whole. We even have a perfect example of this on page 78 in a locally organized COVID wedding story. It's sure to give you hope as you plan your big day! This Summer 2020 Issue is full of ideas and vendors to help you plan your wedding! Be sure to check out our two stunningly created stylized shoots at The Blue Teal and Fair Oaks Farms.

Taylor & Ashley

SUBMITTED BY SPINNIN PRODUCTIONS

I’ll never forget the first time I met Ashley and Taylor. We hung out for at least an hour and a half and really connected. They both love music and love to have fun. Working with them was very easy. The Farmhouse provided the backdrop for an amazing reception. Kelsey Souther Photography did an awesome job capturing the big day. Unveiled Weddings and Events brought the look together with floral, coordination, and styling. Ashley’s gown from Something Blue was beautiful! Spinnin’ Productions made the room pop with orange uplighting. We projected a custom monogram with their names on the wall to set the room off. The photobooth was a hit and all guests got copies to go home with them to remember the special day! Ashley and Taylor received a deluxe memory book to go home with them that night. We kept them dancing all night to rock, country, hip hop, and 90’s and early 2000’s party tunes. They were a fun bunch! They didn’t wanna go home!

The moment you walk into Fair Oaks Farms, it instantly takes your breath away! It’s such a beautiful venue with so many photo opportunities for your wedding day! They have indoor and outdoor opportunities to have your ceremony and reception for up to 200 guests. They have a gorgeous scenic waterfall, ballrooms and a Farmhouse Event Field that can be used for your wedding day! And don’t forget to ask them about their Apple Orchard Weddings. So unique! Jay Marie Salon and Spa is a one-stop-shop to get your hair and makeup done for you and your

bridal party! They did Amber’s hair and makeup for this shoot and we loved how it turned out! The hair style felt like it had a 1960’s vibe and the makeup was such a feminine natural look. She looked like she was glowing! Amber’s ring, necklace and earrings came from Brad’s Custom Designs & Jewelry! The oval cut diamond looks so elegant on her ring finger! It’s a classic cut that will stay true to its time for years to come. The diamond hoop earrings and simple necklace added the right amount of sparkle to her dress. T H EWEDDINGMAG.COM

Another great option that Fair Oaks Farms offers is that they have a custom dinner menu that you can choose from. For this stylized shoot they made an 8oz grilled filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, herb compound butter and finished with micro greens. Also showcased is a pan seared salmon accompanied by roasted fingerling potatoes, seasonal vegetables, beurre blanc sauce and frisee lettuce. With the help of Burns Special Events, a stunning tablescape was created! We loved the texture that the linens gave. The light blue chargers and beautifully designed dessert plates really popped against the white linens.

La Petite Fleuriste did an outstanding job with the floral arrangements she created for this shoot! We loved the bright colors of magenta, purple and greenery that she incorporated with the wood dĂŠcor for the tablescapes. The ceremonial arch was also provided by La Petite. The draping of the floral on the arch looked stunning! The flowers she used were seeded eucalyptus, lisianthus, hot Mayra garden roses, lavender mum balls, nagi, pink parrot tulips, peonies, plumose, stock and iris.

The model, Amber Otto, looked beautiful in a Something Blue Bridal Boutique gown. The details on this dress are amazing. One of our favorite features about this dress is the back where two tassels hang from the button clasps at the top! The crochet lace detail and halter top makes this dress one-ofa-kind!

There is just something so elegant and sophisticated about an all-white wedding cake. We love the one that Designer Desserts made for this shoot. The simple chevron design on the top two tiers added a bit of flair. The floral provided by La Petite helped tie the cake in with the rest of the dĂŠcor design.

all came together in the end. We couldn't have asked for a better venue

we immediately fell in love. We loved how we could have an outdoor

to have our wedding at. The coordinators made sure we enjoyed our

ceremony in the apple orchard that was filled with beautiful apple

day and that our guests were happy as well. We loved every minute of

trees. We weren't expecting to get married in an apple orchard, but

our wedding and wished we could do it again! It was the perfect day

the landscape was so beautiful. We even were able to plant a sapling,

celebrating with our family and friends who traveled near and far.

EMBASSY SUITES

BY HILTON™ SOUTH BEND AT NOTRE DAME S P OT L I G H T

OMG Photography

The Embassy Suites South Bend is a one-stop shop for anyone looking for a wedding venue. We have accommodations for everything from rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, receptions, reception after-parties, farewell breakfasts, and room blocks. As a new build part of Eddy Street Commons, we have sweeping views of the University of Notre Dame. Our hotel has traditional spaces (our Champion Ballroom) and unique places (The Podium – our rooftop amenity deck) sure to make a lasting impression. Let us do all of the work, so you can spend your wedding weekend enjoying yourselves. What inspires you in the work that you do? I have always enjoyed planning and hosting events. There is something rewarding about creating an atmosphere where people feel happy and relaxed. I love helping newly engaged couples navigate through the planning process because every wedding is as unique as the couple. It is a privilege to get to know my happy couples and an honor to be a small part of their wedding day.

Why might a couple getting married want to look into having their reception at Embassy Suites South Bend? Location, location, location! We are centrally located, less than a mile from the Basilica and a short drive from downtown South Bend. Our Champion Ballroom is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding style, with beautiful neutral colors and a design aesthetic where traditional meets modern. It is tucked away on the ground level of our hotel, providing privacy and easy access. We also have outdoor spaces available to create memorable experiences. Do you have any advice for engaged couples to make there planning go seamlessly? The best advice I received was – anything not done by the night of the rehearsal dinner should be scrapped. After spending so many months or years planning all of the details, the night before the wedding should be the celebration of all of the planning coming to an end. Enjoy that time with your future spouse and close family and friends. Some other advice I like to share is “use all of your favors.” We have all helped a friend move or driven a family member to the airport, your wedding is the best time to cash in those favors.

THEWEDDINGM A G.CO M


The title, A Whimsical Romance, embodies what we wanted this summer shoot to showcase. For this summer stylized shoot, we really wanted to embrace a whimsical and calming color palette that is very pleasing to the eye. We focused on simplicity, yet bold key pieces, to stand out on their own. Newly renovated, The Blue Teal is a must see for any bride-to-be! The beautiful stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings and gorgeous patio creates an inviting atmosphere for you and your guests! They even have an adorable bridal suite just outside of the venue where you and your bridal party can get ready. You can have your rehearsal, ceremony and reception all in one location catered by Nelson’s BBQ. AAYS created a seating area by the fireplace that looked like it came straight out of a home dÊcor magazine! We loved how it just brightened up the room. These types of lounge atmospheres are wonderful spaces to create for your guests to grab cocktails and mingle during the slower time between the ceremony ending and before the reception begins.

AAYS Event Rentals did an outstanding job styling and decorating this Whimsical Romance shoot! The barn wood tablescapes matched perfectly with the fireplace at The Blue Teal and then the accenting gold chairs and dĂŠcor really made the look pop! Their color choices between the blush, lilac, and light smoke grey looked absolutely magnificent. AAYS also created a small ceremony spot inside The Blue Teal! This ceremony design could also be placed outside on the patio if you are looking for an outdoor wedding. The drapery made the overall look magical.

When Matzke Florist arrived with the floral arrangements, we immediately fell in love! The beautiful centerpieces for the tablescapes, the stunning bouquet, and the delicate floral design for the back of the chairs looked so elegant and classy! A few of the flowers used were amnesia roses, playa blanc white roses, nena pink roses, lavender and pink spray roses. The Blue Teal created a scrumptious meal for the bride, groom, and their guests. They made beef tenderloin tips with demi-glace, redskin mashed potatoes and brown sugar glazed Parisian carrots. They also made Port-a-Pit chicken breast with Marsala and mushrooms, redskin mashed potatoes and brown sugar glazed Parisian carrots.

Our model, Nicolette Pacheco, looked absolutely stunning in her lace and beaded gown provided by Simply Yours Bridal & Formal Wear! The details on this dress are breathtaking! We loved the lace cut out on the train! Working alongside JB Photography is like hanging out with a good friend of yours. Not only is she amazing at photography but she is a people’s person! If you feel shy in front of the camera she will make you feel instantly comfortable. She captures each and every small detail that you will want to remember on your big day!

It’s all in the details. That is the best way to explain Sweet-Em’s Cake Shoppe! The cake they designed for this shoot was one-of-a-kind! This four-tiered cake was so exquisite that you couldn’t help but just stare! From the marbled bottom tier to the floral design outlined in gold, this cake was a masterpiece! Oh, and the taste of the cake was out of this world!

Nicolette’s hair was done by Marissa Lehman from L&M Hair Design. This updo really accentuated the neckline of the gown. With a simplistic look of a low bun and side French braid, it looked so effortless and chic!

We loved how Ashley Troxel Professional Makeup Artist created a smokey eye with a dusty pink shadow on Nicolette! The light and natural makeup look really gave a fresh and glowy appearance. No matter what look you are wanting to achieve for your wedding day, Ashley Troxel is fantastic at creating a natural look to a more dramatic makeup!

Ryan & Lindsay SUBMITTED BY ELEGANCE WEDDING & EVENING WEAR

From the moment she walked in with her high energy, I knew she was going to be a fun bride to work with! Lindsay was so laid back and had such an open mind while picking out and trying on all of the wedding gowns we selected. When she found “the one” it was such a special moment that everyone in the room just knew that it was the dress. To see the joy on everyone’s faces, especially Lindsay’s, reminded me of why I love my job so much! I love helping create life moments and I was so happy to be a part of “Lindsay’s moment.” After we found Lindsay’s dress, it was time to get her “I Do Crew” ready! As I was meeting her bridesmaids, I could tell why Lindsay had picked them to be a part of her special day! They were all so sweet and caring, especially her daughter Khaliyah. We can’t forget the moms! Lindsay’s mom Kathy and now motherin-law Cheryl were super supportive of Lindsay through the entire process, I could tell they were so excited for her! We were able to help Kathy and Cheryl find dresses with us too. They both looked so sparkly and elegant! It was an honor to work with such a beautiful and outgoing family. Thank you Lindsay for allowing us to be there every step of the way! We were so happy you shared your beautiful pictures with us so we could see it all come together! Our Elegance family wishes you and you husband a lifetime of love and happiness.

Noah & Kayla THE BRIDE'S PERSPECTIVE

We have been together since we were in 7th grade. We dated for 10 years before getting married. He ended up proposing in 2018 and we had a two year engagement. We originally had this big extravagant wedding planned and had already changed our venue twice. Due to COVID, we couldn't have our 150 guests like we had planned. We ended up changing the venue for the third time and having a very small, intimate wedding at my parents house. At first we were a bit bummed that it wasn't our ideal wedding, and although it wasn't what we planned, it ended up being better than we had imagined. We were finally married and spent it with those who meant the most to us. If COVID has taught us anything it's that your plans may change but the most important part is that you will still get married to the love of your life at the end!

Connor & Megan THE BRIDE'S PERSPECTIVE

Describe Your Engagement We met at a local pizza place for dinner- it was a weekday and we both worked late. After dinner, he sped home. I came in hot, yelling that he hadn’t waited for me outside. He was nervously standing in the living room of our first apartment with a package. He said, “Something came in the mail for you. You should open it.” It was a few weeks before Christmas and I knew I hadn’t ordered anything for myself. After arguing for a few minutes, I finally opened the package that contained a monogrammed pullover. He said something along the lines of knowing I wanted one but didn’t want me to order one until I could have the name on it that I’d have forever! He proceeded to bend down and said he wanted to know if I would take his last name. The ring came out of thin air! Describe Your Wedding Vision My vision was a winter industrial chic wedding. I fell in love with Warren Hall at Journeyman Distillery the moment I walked in. I based every single detail off that space from there on out. Winter features were important. Not holiday, but winter! I decided on a main color of crimson with dusty blue and gold accents. That crimson turned into crimson velvet after falling in love with a dress I saw on Pinterest. I found a local seamstress who made that vision come to life. Touches of pine mixed with eucalyptus and gave a clean wintery feel. A DIY balloon arch and string lights were the perfect touches. Describe Your Wedding Day Truly magic is the only way I could begin to describe our wedding day. Being surrounded by the people we love most in this world all day long - truly a day we will never have again. The constant smiles, laughter, and love! Friends traveled from as far as Texas, Georgia and Northern Ireland to spend our big day with us. No matter what task we needed help with all weekend, our loved ones were up for the challenge. It took a village and our day went off without a hitch. We woke up reminiscing about how lucky we are to have so many special people in our lives. Your Advice to Engaged Couples Hand write thank you cards and have your tips/gifts ready to go prior to the big day. Assign someone you trust (we asked a bridesmaid to hand ours) to get them all into the right hands. Tip for the limo driver? Envelope. Gift for the hairstylist? Envelope! This was truly a life saver & our vendors were so touched by both the handwritten notes and sweet gifts. 86
