Real Wedding ~ Shannon and Rick

Shannon contacted me last year knowing she would need help with planning her and Rick's wedding from Florida. From our first conversation, I knew I wanted to work with her to planning their dream wedding. Shannon's work schedule is tough and she needed help with finding the perfect vendors and pulling the overall design together. Based on her chosen colors of navy and yellow we decided to create the perfect "Pure Michigan" wedding. This design was perfect both for the couple and for the reception site, which was her Dad's house on Spring Lake. I LOVED designing this wedding and poured my heart into every detail (which you will see below). The best part of the entire day was hugging Shannon at the end of the night, both of us in tears, while she told me that everything was perfect and we had made her dreams come true. That right there is why we do what we do.

The ceremony....










Love these little guys, they were the cutest!









And now....the reception details.......





Shannon surprised Rick with these "Mr. Right and Mrs. Always Right" signs for their chairs. 




The Lounge Tent in the side yard was one of my favorite details.









The stones acted as place cards for each guest with their name on the front and table number on back.
 





And then there was the sunset boat ride....


 The night before the wedding I decided to use left over fabric and rope I had to make this "Just Married" sign. So glad I did!!!

Shannon's Dad surprised her with an AMAZING fireworks show off a barge in the middle of the lake! Most of the guests (including myself) all said it was better than the Grand Haven Fourth of July fireworks, it was huge!




Shannon and Rick, it was such a pleasure planning and designing this wedding for you. The Red Heels Events team enjoyed every moment and were honored to be a part of this perfect day. We wish you the best with your future together as a family!
