I stumbled upon this fantastic little shop a couple months ago and find Katie's creations to be very inspiring. Click here for her Etsy store and here for her Flickr.
Thanks for being patient with us as we've been traveling. We'll be heading home tomorrow, nothing like going from 80 degrees to 20 degrees! Happy Saturday!
This next wedding was one of my favorites from 2009 for very personal reasons- one of my best friends was the bride, we planned and designed the entire wedding and the couple was married in Colorado (my second favorite place on earth to Traverse City).
I've known Kristin since she moved to Traverse City in 1996. It wasn't until High School that we became close and when it was time to fly the coup we, along with three other BF's, landed in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. It was during our Senior year at Michigan that Kristin and Phil fell in love. After graduation in 2005 Kristin moved to Florida for Physical Therapy school with Phil beside her every step of the way. In 2008 the couple moved to Colorado Springs and so their story begins...
Both Kristin and Phil love the outdoors and adventure so a Rocky Mountain wedding was the perfect combination of natural beauty and exploration. The couple fell in love instantly with Copper Mountain Resort's and it's mountain side location. With less than a year to plan we jumped into action.
A Day in May, Event Planning & Design primarily works with clients planning their weddings and events in Northern Michigan however with 2009 complete and 2010 on the horizon we have clients in Colorado, California and Minnesota!
Two of the top three "must have's" (#1 location) for Kristin and Phil were their entertainment and photographer. We'll get to the entertainment later (trust me it's worth the wait), however it's my pleasure to introduce James Christianson...
*Note: I pasted two photos together that are NOT supposed to go together- you all had to see how gorgeous the "big picture" was!
The wedding ceremony was held at Solitude Station which is 11,200 feet above see level. You could see for miles and miles... it was the picture perfect Colorado wedding AND we made it down the mountain before the afternoon showers. Stay tuned for more details and James' stellar photography.
This past December I was interviewed by Karen Johnson for a special the Traverse City Business News was featuring. The public launch of A Day in May was a direct result of the turmoil in today's economy however, I am proud to say that today we are one of many success stories...
Thank you to the TC Business News for the kind words and to Jen Kroll for the use of the image.
In love with Our Labor of Love. For more gorgeous images from Lindsey and Jeff's wedding and the incredible work from Kendrick and David and the entire Our Labor of Love crew, click here.
I was first introduced to Cammie Buehler and Andy Schudlich in 2008 and ever since I've been smitten with their creations, talents and hearts. Epicure Catering is the brain child of these two amazing people who have a sure recipe for success in all elements of catering, service and life.

The Cherry Basket Farm, located in Omena roughly 45 minutes north of Traverse City, is the home to Epicure Catering. Any given day in the summer trucks of local goods are making deliveries at the Farm for some of the areas most talked about parties, weddings and dishes.
It would be easy for me to use our blog as advertising for great local talent but that's not what we do. All of the vendors we recommend on our blog, and website, are based purely on their performance and service to our clients. With that being said I would recommend any of our clients {without question} to this dynamic duo- they have killer food (even Mario say's so!) and world class service.
One of our staff said it best when they walked into the kitchen of a home where Epicure was catering a party for us... "there was an unmistakable calm in the air. It was tension free. Like a well oiled machine who's working parts fit together with precision." Cammie and Andy believe in giving 110% to all aspects of their service and it's evident by the team they have built around them and their finished product. As it says on their website, "events start and finish with Epicure Catering."
