Vitale Vows

If you follow along on Instagram, you may have heard me reference the “FernGully” wedding.  This is it, this weekend after almost a year of planning (at least on my end).  We will play witness and be a part of the magic that’s created with a snazzy couple from Chicago brings their family and loved ones to celebrate and be wed in the woods of Northern Michigan.

And as one might expect when playing in the wood, there will be ferns.  Lots of them.  With touches of birch, art deco details and dinner and dancing with bay views.  Tones of blue, dusty lilac, charcoal and gold.  The anticipation for this day is almost too much.  I can hardly imagine how Crissie and Mike must feel knowing that tomorrow, they will become husband and wife, forever pledging their love to on another.

Based on Crissie’s dress alone, I cannot wait to see everything come to life tomorrow.  These engagment photos from Samantha James Photography are simply perfection.

Have a great weekend, I’m off to Frankfort to celebrate.

    I seriously love your website.. Pleasant colors &
    theme. Did you develop this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my very own blog and
    would love to learn where you got this from or just what the theme
    is named. Kudos! http://Bing.org
