Emily & Rich Vintage Vineyard Wedding

I have had a busy fall/winter after the wedding season and have been behind in updating the blog. I am going to try to play catch up over the next couple of weeks or less. At the end of August we had the pleasure of working with Emily and her fiancee Rich on coordinating their wedding and helping them to execute their vision. New Fusion Events was hired to not only coordinate their wedding day but to also help with lanterns, flowers and set up. Emily is a wonderful and creative young women who knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it and we were happy to help in executing her vision.

The tent was decorated with lanterns in orange and purple as well as grapevine balls provided by Emily. Manzanita branches were also placed on the poles surrounding the dance floor. 

Emily and Rich spend many months collecting unique vases, vessels, books and miscellaneous items. New Fusion was able to work with Emily on providing flowers that she loved and that looked wonderful in the containers that were provided. New Fusion was able to provide our services to arrange the items provided into a wonderful and tasteful centerpiece for each of the tables. 

New Fusion provided the beautiful bouquets for the wedding that included flowers such as roses, eucalyptus and hydrangea.

Charming & Chic Home 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. 

A Beautiful Vineyard Wedding!

A beautiful day for a beautiful bride! We had a wonderful time working with Nicole and Ben on their July wedding up at Willow Harbor. They had a vision and knew exactly what they wanted. Everything came together beautifully and the guests had an amazing time!

Mason jars filled with Gerbers were placed on shepherds hooks down each side of the aisle.

The programs, designed by the bride & her family, worked double duty as fans.

Paper flowers were hung from the Italian stone gazebo and honeysuckle that was wrapped around the poles dressed up the ceremony site.

New Fusion Events decorated the tent with green lanterns, Manzanita Branches on the tent poles, and placed Gerbers inside milk bottles placed on the tables. 

 Pictures of the couples parents and grandparents were placed on an old door and a vintage box was the perfect addition for guests to place their cards in. 

 The couple chose a wonderful wine as a favor for their guests and it added a wonderful splash of color to the tables.

Summer Wedding

Today I'm highlighting some pictures from a wedding we planned and coordinated this past August at Willow Harbor Vineyards in Michigan. It was a Jewish-Christian wedding that was held on a Sunday afternoon at the vineyard. The wedding ceremony held very traditional colors of black and white and the reception was bold and bright with hot pink and orange colors abound. Some of our favorite pictures of the event are below.

Custom escort cards were crafted out of handmade pinwheels for the reception.

The cake was made by Rascia's Creative Cakes to match the brides reception colors of hot pink and orange with a splash of green.

Flip flops were offered to guests to make sure the guests could be comfortable while dancing.

The white tent and linens were a great foundation for the great bold colors of orange and pink.

A candy buffet offered guests a variety of sweet options all while staying within the color theme of pink and orange with hints of lime green.

The black and white theme of the ceremony was carried over to the bouquets. The bride and grooms mothers had Tussie Mussies instead of corsages or bouquets.

The handmade program fans were created by New Fusion Events to keep guests cool during the ceremony and to explain the Jewish customs that were part of the ceremony.

The ceremony service was held under a stone italian gazebo that was adorned with swags of hydrangeas and roses with crystal accents.

The ceremony was held in front of a pond next to the vineyard at Willow Harbor in Three Oaks, MI. The aisle was lined with white rose petals and shepherds hooks held arrangements of white hydrangea and accented with black and white ribbons.
