The ceremony was held at the stunning Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Detroit. The church happens to be the oldest in Michigan and is amazing with it's high vaulted ceilings and numerous paintings of various Saints. The ceremony was touching and special, highlighting the fact that the couple has been together since High School!
However, as beautiful as the church was, nothing could come close or surpass the amazing elegance of the bride's dress! The stunning creation featured more layers and more tulle than I think I've ever encountered in my life. Daniela looked amazing and easily lived up to the beauty of the dress!The Reception was held at one of my favorite venues - Penna's of Sterling. With all of the Christmas decorations up, the normally very classy looking hall was truly a sight to behold. The staff did an amazing job as always and I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work and support!
I was also thrilled to see another amazing creation by the very talented Laura Amadeo, sugar artist. Laura did the cake for Jenna & Tony's wedding this summer and came up with another astounding creation for Daniela & Steve. The cake featured 8 tiers and was highlighted with edible lace and sugar flowers that matched those in the centerpieces.
As if the cake wasn't enough, the couple had also arranged to have Penna's amazing sweets table. However, rather than just having the table setup in another area of the hall, they chose to have it setup in an entirely different room! This room was hidden from guests view until after the formal dances, when there was a grand reveal by the Penna's staff. The room was done in all blues, with snowflake lights dancing on all of the walls.
In addition to choosing amazing venues and florist, Daniela and Steve had some other great vendors working on their Big Day. I was excited to get the chance to again work with the talented Kari Dawson of Kari Dawson Photography and her assistant, Rick. They were also at Michelle & John's wedding and were great photographers to work with.
I was also excited to be able to spend some time with and to hear one of my favorite college bands, the Mega 80's. Any of my fellow Spartans will be familiar with the band, and anyone that doesn't know them should check them out! They are EXTREMELY talented and really get a party going! Nothing like some authentic 80's music!!
I want to wish Daniela & Steve all the best as they begin their life together. The wedding was stunning and you are an amazing couple. I have no doubt you'll have years of happiness together and I hope you enjoy your first married Christmas in just a few days! :)
Congratulations!
Thank you, as always, to these amazing vendors :
