A Michigan country club wedding that was literally elevated luxury

Sometimes a little extra flair is the perfect choice! This was absolutely the case for Danielle and Mark, whose first meeting over brunch with friends was quite memorable. Danielle was visiting Chicago from Ann Arbor, and Mark, who was local, wasn’t up to making any new friends. Instead, he wore an intentionally mismatched and ridiculous outfit to deter meeting anyone. Despite the impressive fashion statement, they hit it off during Danielle’s trip! For their engagement, Mark planned a weekend away where he decorated their hotel room with notes and special memories the two had shared together. And of course, the final note included the ring!

A raised ceremony platform was just the first of many impeccably planned details!

This couple’s wedding combined their love of gardens with Danielle’s love of an over-the-top dancefloor afterparty! The couple appeared to float above the country club lawns in a unique, raised ceremony design. Two rows were set for chairs on either side of the ceremony, and in the center, the couple exchanged vows on an elevated platform surrounded by greenery and white flowers. Danielle first appeared in an elegant satin ballgown while later dancing the night away in a sparkling mini dress with feathers. Dinner was set beneath towering trees where ornate chandeliers glistened above, and reception highlights included a champagne tower, a botanical paper flower garden seating chart, and of course, a super elegant laser-light display on the dancefloor! It was impossible not to have the best time at this impeccably-planned wedding.
