So Much Detail!

We worked with Mike, Nicole & Nicole's mom, Merigail, for well over a year. We received a phone call from Nicole and she had just had their beautiful baby, Nolan, and they were living in the state of Washington. So, we met with Merigail, who resides in the Indianapolis area and the rest is as they say...history! Planning went really well and as you can see everything turned out so BEAUTIFUL!

Wedding day was such an easy going and relaxing day! Everyone arrived on time and everyone was able to truly just enjoy the day!

Throughout the planning process we became such great friends and it was so fun to see everything come together and be beyond their expectations! We couldn't ask for nicer people to work with from the couple, to the parents, to the grandparents, to the FABULOUS vendors!

Here are the vendors who helped transform Mike & Nicole's vision to reality...

Sweet Seductions (Cake) - Paige is truly the best! We absolutely LOVE working with her! She is so personable and creative. She truly loves what she does and it shows in her masterpieces!
Sharon Watson Music (Harpist) - Sharon did an outstanding job with the ceremony music!
Johnny Winn is Nicole's uncle and he provided the music for the reception!
Bokay Florist - Angie...we just LOVE her too! She is so creative and again...absolutely loves her job and it shows! She ALWAYS goes above and beyond for every bride!
Mode Salon & Becky Lee Naylor did the hair & make-up for Nicole
Rodney Williams performed the ceremony
Carrie's Clicks - Carrie was the photographer for the evening. She was so sweet and took some great shots throughout the day!
Paper By Appointment provided the stationary for Mike & Nicole's big day
Men's Wearhouse provided the tuxes for the guys
Murat Shrine Temple - I cannot say enough good things about Patti & Jason and their staff! They are absolutely FABULOUS to work with and went above and beyond to make sure that the event was everything Mike & Nicole envisioned! Not only were the people amazing, but the space is just BEAUTIFUL! I loved the "stars" in ceiling...such a beautiful touch!

I could go on and on about how FABULOUS this family and their vendors were to work with! We had such a great time throughout the planning process and I think it really showed in the finished product!

Mike & Nicole - You two are so WONDERFUL together! You are two of the nicest and sweetest people we have met. You can truly see the love you have for each other in your eyes and it is so sweet to see the two of you interact! We wish you nothing but the best as you move forward in your life journey together as husband and wife! We wish you a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness! Nicole...best of luck in your journey to becoming a doctor...you can do it girl! Please stay in touch!

Merigail - You were such an integral part of the planning process so we wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication throughout this process! Mike & Nicole are so lucky to have you in their lives! All the best!

Everyone Having A WONDERFUL Time

I LOVE The Smiles...So Sweet!

Will & Kennie had one interesting day! Will had spent the day before in Kentucky watching his daughter graduate high school which left Kennie, her bridesmaids and us to get everything ready on rehearsal day! But, we got it all taken care of and wedding day came early in the morning! The day was BEAUTIFUL and I just can't say enough about how FABULOUS Kennie & Will along with their wedding party and parents looked! Everything turned out so GORGEOUS and all of the guest seemed blown away by the decor!

We worked with Kennie & Will for a long time on this wedding (14 or 15 months)! They had a clear idea of what they wanted and they went for it! I LOVE to see the faces of the bride and groom's when they see their vision become reality! We had such a WONDERFUL time planning this wedding with Kennie & Will. They are so much FUN and they ALWAYS make us laugh and put a smile on our face! Not only are they wonderful together but they are surrounded by OUTSTANDING individuals that I just cannot say enough about! This was one of the most fun we have had and we LOVED working with Kennie & Will!

The day was so great and I wish that it had lasted longer!

Here are the vendors who helped transform their vision to their reality...

Swank Audio Visuals - I cannot say enough good things about Mark and his team! They did a WONDERFUL job with the gobo and uplighting! FABULOUS...FABULOUS!
Sweet Seductions (Cake) - Paige...there are not enough wonderful words to say about Paige! She is as sweet as her cakes! She is so OUTSTANDING to work with and ALWAYS provides the most BEAUTIFUL cakes!

Hilton Indianapolis Downtown - Becky and her team were FABULOUS! They were so patient with us and truly went above and beyond to provide Kennie & Will with their wedding day dreams!

We met with Christina about a month prior to her wedding! She is SO organized and had really thought through and planned her day but she wanted to make sure that everything went smoothly and that she was able to just let go and enjoy the day! So...here we are! We had really good chemistry with Christina from the first time we met and she was such a pleasure to work with (even though it was short).
