    Featured Wedding: Michele & Brandon

    Jan 01 2019

    Real Wedding: Michele & Brandon

    The Inn at St. John – Plymouth, Michigan | Photography: Lighting with Love

    Michele and Brandon married at the Inn at St. John towards the end of last December. I love to look back at all the weddings I’ve worked over. I may be biased, but each wedding is special, and the couples I meet are truly lovely people! I still remember this wedding fondly. It was a marvelous experience for me to work with this wonderful couple and this amazing venue!

    Bringing Floral Design To The Inn at St. John

    I had never gotten the chance to work at the Inn at St. John before, so I was definitely grateful for the opportunity to work over this venue. Michele was actually referred to me by Olivia, another bride I had the great opportunity to work with. It was going to be a short planning and my first time working with this venue, so I was happy to take up the opportunity. Since the wedding was taking place at the end of December, Michele had already envisioned going with a New Year’s theme. There was going to be a lot of silver involved!

    Let’s Bring on the Silver 

    The grand ballroom at St. John has a high ceiling, so they wanted to use tall arrangements to help with the setup. It was so much fun setting up for the wedding! The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the silver decorations really popped. The venue was adorned using silver branches, crystal, and silver Christmas greenery. I was so happy to cross the Inn at St. John off my list of never explored venues. The wedding went beautifully, and the decorations truly made the venue look exquisite.

    Grateful For The Experience

    This wedding was yet another great experience, and like always, I am very grateful to do what I do. Michele and Brandon’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and they were a fantastic couple to work with. My best wishes to Michele and Brandon!

Love receiving photos from the photographers as been a florist I don't usually see the "full" photos from the wedding. From first look, to ceremony then reception... These gave me the whole picture as to how the wedding went and I just love it. 🥰⁠

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 trying to describe my art style lately.. I've been trying to describe my art style lately...⁠
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?? ⁠
