A Dreamy Fall Bohemian Wedding In Michigan

Choosing vendors was my next step. In May, I shot a wedding at MillCreeke Wilde with a florist and event designer named Erin Schoneman of Sage Green Events. Her colorful, wild, (carefree) style was exactly what I had in mind for this shoot. We immediately hit it off and started to plan our day. 

We wanted to incorporate the boho style but with more of a (carefree) woodland flair. We set it in the woods, incorporating the oldest tree on the camp which stands strong along the lakeside as the centerpiece for our ceremony. Erin created a natural trellis of climbing wildflowers up and around the tree. We included Persian rugs and the camp's dark stained benches draped in boho pillows and throws for a cozy, camp look. 

Following the ceremony, the bride and groom took a ride across Fish Lake on a canoe handmade by my husband's uncle, Mickie Lee. It was adorned with a wildflower swag created by Erin. 

For the reception/dinner, we wanted to make it very personal. We incorporated a farmhouse table handmade by the groom himself. Sticking with our multiple color palette of burnt orange, burgundy, royal purple, and cypress green (my favorite color!) 

Erin created a stunning floating centerpiece and decorated the table with a variety of colored vintage glassware. We had glitz with the golden candlesticks and brought it down to Earth with the denim napkins and simple feathers and ribbon for the silverware. Pine cones were the perfect addition to hold the place cards created by the talented Jamie Lynne at Jamie Lynne Creative. 

The breathtaking Kenneth Winston gown from Gina's Bridal sparkled with the campfire light. We chose this gown because of its simple form, yet elegant art-deco design which screamed boho to me! Her bouquet was a carefully pieced together collection of vibrant colors and plumes wrapped up in both royal purple, silk ribbon and cypress green, velvet ribbon creating texture and flair! 

We chose Alicia and Kyle to model for the elopement because of their Indie style and their heart for camp... these two met at camp as teenagers and loved the idea of celebrating their marriage here!
