    Featured Wedding: Haley & Ben

    May 01 2019

    Real Wedding: Haley & Ben

    Waldenwoods Resort – Hartland, Michigan | Photographer –Little Blue Bird Photography

    Haley and Ben’s wedding at Waldenwoods Resort was notably lovely. I’ve heard great things about the location many times before but never had the pleasure of working there until now. It was a great opportunity when they told me where the ceremony was being held, and I jumped on board as fast as I could. 

    Who Doesn’t Love An Outdoors Wedding?

    I love setting up an outdoors ceremony, especially if it’s by a lake like this one was. The weather, thankfully, was beautiful for celebrating outside. That’s the challenge of deciding to do ceremonies in the outdoors well in advance. You have to plan everything a second time just in case the weather decides to make a bad turn. Thankfully, Haley and Ben’s big day was nothing but beauty and love.

    And Purple Wins Again!

    The color for the ceremony was primarily purple, marking yet another purple wedding during 2018 that I was lucky enough to attend. All the bridesmaids were wearing dresses in varying shades of purple, too, and holding lavender bouquets with greenery to represent the outdoors-y feeling. I love purple weddings, especially in the outdoors. The color coordination with nature contrasts beautifully and gives us professionals a wonderful palette to work with. The end result is almost always striking, as it was for this wedding.

    Waldenwoods Resort has a beautiful gazebo by the lake that we managed to do a flower garland around before repurposing the decorations to be used at their reception head table. This was a great way to reuse the decorations while saving money during the planning process, and the final results looked fantastic. Sometimes, it just comes down to a little ingenuity and out-of-the-box thinking to put together the fairytales and practicality to make the perfect wedding work.

    How about an introduction Thursday?? 🤣 Because How about an introduction Thursday?? 🤣 Because I love to share!! 🤷⁠
⁠
I'm Ching, and most of time I don't remember my age because I stopped counting after 29 so I can always be 29. 😂😂😂⁠
⁠
Often time I live in my own la-la land and day dreaming with all the crazy ideas and thoughts. ⁠
⁠
Infertility was my biggest struggle and now I'm blessed with a beautiful girl and a handsome boy. ⁠
⁠
I was laughed at school because of my flat nose and was asked if my parents had "dropped" me. 🤷 ⁠
⁠
I grew up with 6+ birds, 2 bunnies, 2 fish, 1 turtle, 3+ hamsters, 1 dog and many many small creatures and bugs. Now I'm a proud cat owner. ⁠
⁠
Tell me about yourself. Do we have any similarities? Differences?⁠

I've been told I'm traditional which I don't agree 100%. ⁠
Perhaps I'm traditional with modern twist?? 🤣🤣⁠
I love classic and elegant art but not in the traditional "box" form. Does that make sense?? ⁠

    Blue is my all time favor regardless the shade. I Blue is my all time favor regardless the shade. I always have a thing for blue color, it's just beautiful. However in Floral Design, finding blue flower to work with has always been a challenge for me. ⁠
⁠
For this cover shoot, instead adding blue flower like I always do, I used troll grass and pampas grass for different element and texture. Honestly I'm pretty happy with the result presenting these 3 primary colors. What do you all think? Yes? Nah? 😉⁠

    Hey all, happy Friday and it's been awhile since I Hey all, happy Friday and it's been awhile since I've introduce myself. With new year, and many new faces here, a new introduction is definitely needed. ⁠
⁠
I'm Ching, the one-woman show behind this creative business. A couple of fun facts about me. ⁠
⁠
* If I'm not on this creative path today, I would most likely be a social worker or a family counselor. Because I'm always observing and analyzing. 🤣🤣🤣 I love to study human behaviors. ⁠
⁠
* If it's up to my family I would be taking over a restaurant business in Saline, Michigan. ⁠
⁠
* My ideal career during childhood, nurse. Because I LOVED the title "Angle in white". 😂⁠
⁠
What would you be doing if you're not on the current career path??⁠
