Yes, this venue is beyond gorgeous, but let’s be real, this wedding is ALL about the fashion. Let’s start with the groom, we love a man in a colorful suit, especially when it looks this good. His custom burgundy suit from Jojayden is so refreshing and unexpected, just like the tuxedo stripe on the jacket sleeve. The bride is an absolute vision in her off-the-shoulder ceremony gown by Leah Da Gloria with elegant lace sleeves (that are detachable!!!) and a perfect fit! Then (wait for it) she changes into a showstopping beaded fringe number by Mac Duggal that you just have to see for yourself.
Kesh Events and Modern Day Collective designed this moody fashion-forward wedding at Greencrest Manor. These lovely neutral floral arrangements by Modern Day Collective brought an air of romance to the venue but allowed the vibrant colors of the wedding party’s ensembles to really shine. We love the contrast and the deep greens that Arielle Teft Photography captured in these photos.

A VIBRANT CELEBRATION
Tucked away in the middle of Michigan farmland, the Greencrest Manor created the verdant backdrop for Ayanna and Jonathan’s nuptials with its sprawling gardens and victorian terraces. From the uptempo gospel choir as guests gathered to the groom’s saxophonic dance grooves, this wedding struck the perfect balance between class and Carnival–vibrant, beautiful, and alive. Stylized and curated down to the finest detail, guests and family were free to stroll about the estate, enjoy a late-night taco truck, or crush the proverbial glass. It was a night to remember. Ayanna wore Leah Da Gloria and changed into a second dress by Mac Duggal. Jonathan wore a custom suit by Jojayden out of Chicago.
SOME HELPFUL TIPS
Booking your wedding planner and photographer should be at the top of your list. Book vendors that you trust so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day completely. Hiring a day-of stylist or clothing specialist is extra helpful and time-saving, especially during photos where everyone needs a little primping.
