Just a short walk from all of the Mackinac Island ferries is a Wedding location on Mackinac Island called Hotel Iroquois on the beach.  You can elope to Mackinac Island, get married right on the water, in a nice landscaped lawn, and then have a reception at a beautiful restaurant with windows that wrap all the way around the building and provide tons of light.

Elise and Thomas did just that last week.  They came up to Mackinac Island from their home in Tennessee and brought family with them to get married on an Mackinac Island.  There were twelve total family members that attended the Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception at the Carriage House at the Hotel Iroquois.  The clouds were rolling through but the weather held off long enough for them.

The Wedding Vendors for the Hotel Iroquois Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Northern Michigan were:

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.
