Emily & Patrick love Halloween…like LOVE it! So it makes sense that they wanted to get married on Halloween weekend. And I was SO excited to help them! A Halloween wedding has been on my to do list since I started my business!
Emily & Patrick wanted spooky chic; nothing too campy or on-the-nose. Their biggest concern was not having orange plastic jack-o-lanterns laying around everywhere! LOL Not on my watch! I had so much fun sourcing the rental items and decor for their wedding. And I am so thankful that they trusted me and our vision!
The Eastern provided the perfect backdrop for this spooky celebration! We set up for the ceremony, prepared dinner tables off to the side, and seamlessly moved them into place during cocktail hour.
As a nod to trick or treating, they wanted to offer a candy buffet for their guests to enjoy! We provided a themed buffet fit for any kid or kid at heart.
Their niece & nephew stole the show from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day! They were so cute and loved being dressed up!
I have to gush about the flowers for this wedding. I knew they would be integral in setting the stage for this wedding. We went to The Flower Kitten with our vision and she knew the perfect choices for us! She came up with suggestions that we hadn’t even thought of.
Our rentals from Event Theory also helped set the scene. Spooky willow branch candle holders, hanging lanterns with colored glass, a lush lounge area, and stately highback chairs were great choices!
One more fun element was a photobooth! It was busy the entire night. Shutterbooth Detroit designed custom a custom photo print design for their wedding. So fun!
Emily & Patrick, Thank you so much for trusting me with your vision! I had so much fun designing this wedding for you and meeting your family! They all spoke so highly of you both and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you!

I realized wedding planning was my passion when, after working a 12-hour wedding day, I came home and was so energized that I couldn’t go to sleep. I had just worked an entire day, on my feet, and was ready to plan the next event instead of heading to bed! In former careers, an 8-hour shift would leave me exhausted. This new-found energy around my work was very welcomed! Now I plan weddings all around the Metro Detroit & Ann Arbor areas.
