Lakeside Private Residence | Emily & Justin
We are thrilled to share Emily & Justin’s wedding that took place in Union Pier, Michigan. Picture this: a serene lakeside private residence setting, an elegant garden theme, and two souls deeply in love—what more could you ask for?
From the get-go, Emily and Justin exuded a laid-back, carefree vibe that perfectly complemented their elegant, classy affair. Their journey unfolded at Emily’s childhood home, a place steeped in family history and sentimental value. With its sprawling grounds and breathtaking views, it was the ideal canvas for their love story to unfold.
The day was filled with personal touches that reflected the couple’s passions and personalities. One adorable detail? Their beloved dog made a cameo appearance, adding an extra dose of charm to the festivities. And let’s not forget about the attire—Emily stunned in a simple off-white gown, while Justin and his gentlemen donned timeless tan suits, incorporating lakeside elegance.
Speaking of lakeside elegance, let’s talk about the color palette. Inspired by the tranquil blues of the nearby waters and the vibrant hues of blooming florals, the couple chose a palette that perfectly mirrored the natural beauty of their surroundings. And let us tell you, the venue and its clear top tent? Absolute showstoppers.
But perhaps the most memorable moment of all? The bride and groom’s laid-back approach to the day. Despite the inevitable pre-wedding jitters, they showed up together in the morning, casually hanging out throughout the day. And yet, when the moment for their first look arrived, it was pure magic—a testament of their love and connection.
As their trusted wedding coordinator team, we had the privilege of ensuring every detail was perfect, including a last-minute seating chart hiccup. Our team rose to the occasion, hand-writing 110 new names and table numbers to resolve the issue and bring smiles to the faces of the couple and their loved ones.
