Amanda and her ladies began their day at Number Six Salon in Farmington Hills for hair, then returned to her suite at the Radisson Livonia for makeup by Jen of Deux Adore. Photographer Derek Cookson of Derek Cookson Photography was already on-hand to capture photos of the ladies getting ready, and more photographs of the groom and his men in the hotel lobby.

Motor City Party Bus arrived to pick up the men, then the ladies, and take them to Greenmead Church. Rental of this location also includes use of the grounds and other historic buildings on the Greenmead property which makes for some beautiful photo opportunities.

I arrived to set up the details such as the candy buffet, centerpieces, escort card table and other items. Linens had been set the previous day by Affordable Elegance. The ivory and gold color scheme looked so timeless and elegant when all was complete.

After the ceremony, guest arrived to enjoy a variety of appetizers and cocktails. Our bridal party arrived and made their grand entrance, and guests enjoyed a plated dinner and cake by Sweet Dreams (586-751-8900) for dessert.

DJ Joe of Ultimate Events Productions, who also did the ceremony music, kept the fun going throughout dinner and dancing. Steve of Volk Video and photographer Derek were there to capture all of the key moments.

Amanda & Doug, best wishes to both of you, and thank you so much for allowing us to be there for your day!

Just a few photos....

Great guest book idea - Guests each took a page and answered a series of fun questions regarding themselves and the couple, to be placed in the main book afterwards:

Escort card table, each guest's name was also atop a piece of delicious chocolate:
