From the bride: Jeremy and I met at Michigan State University in 2001. I always joked with my friends that I wanted to meet someone that was at least 6’3 {I am 5’10 and at least 6 feet in heels} with dark hair and eyes who was intelligent, charismatic and funny. The minute we met, my knees literally went weak because he had all of those qualities and more.
I wanted a wedding with a swanky vibe. Our wedding was classically elegant, but with a twist of some serious fun... I consider myself an old soul and have always loved Frank Sinatra/Rat Pack, so we walked into "The Best is Yet to Come" and our song was "Just the Way You Look Tonight". Lighting was extremely important to me because the cool blues and purples reminded me of an old night club. Our signature drinks were a play on something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
Something Old- Dirty Martini
Something New- Pomegranate Cosmopolitan
Something Borrowed- Screw Driver
Something Blue- Blue Moon Martini
For my dress, I wanted luxurious fabric and a little bit of bling- I think I found that with Kenneth Pool's Degas. I also loved the brooch and bow detail on our Alvina Valenta bridesmaid dresses. The men wore classic tuxedos.
It was truly an unforgettable night and I really appreciate Jessica capturing every moment. They were beyond phenomenal!!!
