Planning a Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan?

The afternoon Wedding ceremony at the Gazebo at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island was beautifully placed inside the circle of flowers. The skies were clear and it was a fabulous day in Michigan. The bride was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress by Oleg Cassini.

She had her hair and makeup done right at Mission Point Resort at 7th Heaven Salon.

The bride and groom had their flowers completed by Weber’s Floral and Gift. The bride and groom took a 1.5 hour horse drawn carriage ride around Mackinac Island with Me following, and leading, on my bike. The Wedding was catered by Mission Point Resort on the outdoor patio near the bocce ball court. The bride and groom played crochet and bocce ball. There was a cocktail hour under the tent which was set up for the occasion. Bella e Dolce completed six custom cakes for the Mackinac Wedding tables. They were beautiful and delicious!

Mackinac Island Wedding The Inn at Stonecliffe

Friday I was blessed again to spend the afternoon on Mackinac Island, Michigan for a Wedding at The Inn at Stonecliffe. Amy and Charlie are two cool cats! We had a great time together. Amy is an absolute beauty, and Charlie is a handsome lad as well.

When I arrived to the Wedding the clouds were thick and the overcast and it looked like rain. But, oh no, my friend, the clouds cleared and Amy and Charlie’s beautiful smile beamed during the day.

The couple is from Chicago, Illinois and planned this beautiful destination wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Amy had an idea in her head what she wanted on her Wedding day and her matron of honor, Tara, from Invitations by Design, helped her dream come true. Tara’s designs and over-the-top details added that special touch to Amy and Charlie’s Wedding day. You can see a bunch of the products that Tara produced in the slideshows below. Anything on paper Tara did and will do for you too. Call her and let her design your invitations, programs, signs, speech cards, seating chart, menus, thank yous, or anything you can imagine.

The Wedding theme for the day was Mackinac Island and bicycles. They had bicycles on their Wedding cake and lots of bicycles on the signs and details. The Wedding cake was designed by Bella e Dolce and was stunning.
