One of the sweetest surprises of this Michigan fall wedding was that the bride’s parents had secretly upped the design budget and added such gorgeous elements.
And not just a few… velvet draping, chandeliers, wall sconces, a circular bar, and so many thoughtful details that completely transformed the space.
Getting to photograph the room, but especially seeing the bride and grooms reactions as they walked in, was such a treat.
