In the meantime, we have twelve more months to plan our dream wedding and I want to share a bit of the process with you! So for the next year, I plan to write monthly updates about the decisions-- big and small-- that we're making. To get started you might want to read the post where I share our proposal story.
Today I want to tell you a little bit about the venue that we chose. As I shared in the above-mentioned post, I've wanted a Christmas wedding for as long as I can remember and Justin (being the winter-lover that he is) agreed. We originally wanted to get married at a ski lodge but none of them we looked at quite fit the bill. Once we scratched the Michigan lodges off of our list. We started visiting venues in our hometown. We weren't thrilled with the idea of a country club wedding but there was one that seemed like it could work so we scheduled a visit. After our tour, we walked out, looked at each other, and immediately knew we had found our wedding venue!
The connected ceremony and reception rooms just had the feel that we wanted. And we can get married in front of a cozy fireplace- a feature that we really wanted at the ski lodges. The space also features the most amazing chandeliers and lighting to give us that holiday glow.
On top of the fireplace and glowing lights, the wedding coordinator shared with us that the club decorates beautifully for the holidays. We were sold! We booked our date almost immediately.
And this past week, Justin, both sets of our parents and I returned to the venue to see the Christmas decorations. They were absolutely spectacular! From the multi-story tree on the staircase leading to the ceremony room to the wreaths and frosted trees that dot the space, it's a winter wonderland!
It helped that the rooms were set-up for a wedding the following evening, giving us a true feel for what our celebration will look like! The space was more beautiful than I could have imagined and I absolutely cannot wait to get married there next year!
