One of the many wonderful reasons why living in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan is the option to have your wedding along Lake Michigan!

The Inn at Harbor Shores in Saint Joseph, Michigan beautiful patio overlooking the harbor is large enough to have an outdoor tent, and their impeccable décor inside the hotel is perfect for a beach themed wedding!

Our bride, Erica McDermott, looked absolutely stunning in an off-white full lace gown provided by Something Blue Bridal Boutique. Her gorgeous updo with loose waves was done by Jay Marie Salon & Spa and her smokey eye and beautiful nude lip makeup was done by Brittany Hennings Makeup. The beautiful jewelry Erica wore was provided by Martin Binder which added the perfect delicate touch.

Sugarfield Flowers created a simple yet very elegant tablescape for the guests with glass vases, candles, and mercury glass vases filled with flowers like ranunculus, parrot tulip, sweet pea, hyacinth, and viburnum.  XOXO Invites crafted beautiful bright blue stationery which added a pop of brightness to the pastel floral and décor.

The beautiful arch made and provided by Sugarfield Flowers was filled with ferns and olive foliage, along with touches of floral like hyacinth and viburnum which was the perfect backdrop for the head table.

The Inn at Harbor Shores made a scrumptious meal of red pepper and boursin cheese stuffed oven roasted chicken, truffle whipped potatoes, and roasted asparagus.

With so many amazing details added to this shoot, our photographer, Shane Cleminson, captured each and every element. Even though rain was in our horizons during this shoot, Shane used the darkened skies to help create a moody backdrop for the cake!

Black Currant Bakehouse created one of the most beautiful cakes we have ever seen! The all white three tier cake had pops of blue throughout and succulents and ferns giving that beachy vibe.

Make a statement (and a big hit with the guests) with a popcorn bar! Chicagoland Popcorn created a popcorn bar with several different flavors of popcorn customizable to your favorite flavors and colors!
