The Big Day: Winter Wedding in Michigan

Fabulous details from an unforgettable winter wedding for Carolyn Hughes and Derek Lowe in Michigan. Photography by Susan Stipling. Clockwise from top left: Crystal name tags hanging on 10-ft tree; full length shot of crystal tree; name card and menu at table setting, Calligraphy by Elizabeth Jones; cake by Gregory Bingham, Art of Cake; 10 ft custom ice bar; reception room at Ritz Carlton; power room decor; Susan Bingham, Ivy Robinson, Carolyn and Derek Lowe at the late night reception.

Planning a wedding for the dead of winter in Michigan might seem like some sort of sadistic death wish, but Ivy and a crew of talented professionals (see below), created a wedding reception that was full of warmth by utilizing the sumptuous rich red and sparkling gold color palate the couple chose, gorgeous lighting, decadent textures in the linens, and even putting pops of blooming color in the bathrooms (You gotta go for the unexpected!).

Congrats to the newlyweds, Derek and Carolyn, who just passed the one month mark as husband and wife, and best wishes to Derek as he gets ready to head to spring training for the Atlanta Braves!

And now for some much deserved kudos for the brilliant people who helped make this unforgettable Big Day come together for Ivy and the bride and groom:
