New Fusion Events: barn wedding

This past August we were given the wonderful opportunity of working with a local family on planning an "at home" wedding. The bride was specific on incorporating an amazing color palate of gold, orange and pink. We took it from there to create an amazing wedding that even the rain earlier in the day couldn't dampen.

A close up view of the tables reveals gold runners and napkins accented with chiavari chairs. Centerpieces in antique clay containers consisting of Roses, Dahlias and Hypericum Berries. Favors of honey from the couples new the couples new residence of Charleston were a huge hit and brought in the couples wonderful color palate.

Champagne glasses surround a centerpiece of roses. Guests grabbed a glass at toasting time and gathered at the bottom of the grand staircase to wish the bride and groom well.

To give guests some more energy to continue dancing through the night NFE brought in a hotdog cart to serve guests a late night snack. Guests could customize their hotdogs to their liking.

Earlier this month we had the pleasure of doing our first wedding up in Watervilet, MI at Mill Creek Barns. It is a wonderful venue and is beautiful on it's own without any decorations. We were able to add just a small amount to the existing decor to get a large impact. The bride had collected milk glass vases over the course of many months and requested we fill them with a single flower. With colors of red and orange with hints of blue we knew Gerbers were the right choice. We loved working with Heather and Marcus and can't wait to be back up at Mill Creek Barns again in the future as well.

The escort cards were hung by the entrance to the barn. Guest found their names on a card with the picture of an elephant on it. Guest then found their way to the table with the corresponding elephant.

There were many unique micro brews offered to guests in addition to a few specialty drinks. The Rosemary Gin & Tonic was just one of a few tributes to the bride's late grandmother, Rosemary.

The cupcakes were provided by Sue's Cupcake Shoppe. Not only did they look wonderful but they tasted amazing!

The tables had centerpieces consisting of Gerber's in milk glass vases. A unique elephant was placed on each table and served as the place card. Favors of homemade soap were made by the couple and placed at each place setting.

Gerbers were placed in milk glass vases in the center of the head table that flanked the center of the venue.

The ceremony site was flanked with red Gerbers in teardrop vases. Red rose petals lined the aisle and a ribbon tied off the end of the aisle so guests could be seated from the outside aisles.

Programs that had the dual purpose as fans were made by the mother of the bride. Fans or programs that can serve as fans are always a wonderful addition to outside weddings in Summer.

Members of the bridal party walk down the aisle. Bridesmaids were welcome to pick their dress and they looked amazing! The bridesmaids carried Gerber Daisies and the groomsmen had rosemary boutonnieres, another tribute to the Bride's late grandmother.
