Wedding Venues: Ford Piquette Avenue Plant

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to check out an amazing, unique, and historical venue.  I absolutely love history and think the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant (also known as the “Birthplace of the Model T”) is such a fun option, especially if you have a love for cars or Detroit in general.

This three level, 67,000 square foot building is the first building built and owned by the Ford Motor Company, and where the first Model T was assembled in 1908. It is now open to the public as a City, State, and Federal Historic Site, a National Historic Landmark, and a National Heritage Site.

The site is located on the corner of Beaubien and Piquette in Detroit. Check it out! www.tplex.org

It’s important to look beautiful – hair styles!

The typical bridal updo with a tiara or veil is beautiful and traditional. There are so many fun options for your bridal style that maybe you haven’t thought of yet. Even if you wear your veil to the ceremony, who’s to say you can’t replace it with a headband or a vintage brooch for the reception? Here’s some beautiful finds that will hopefully inspire you!

Don’t want a traditional veil? (These short veils are especially fun for brides with short hair!)

Brides with short hair always seem to have a difficult time finding the right style for their wedding day. Don’t stress! A simple flower, headband, or brooch is tasteful and super cute!

Inspired by… bridesmaids!

When Krista sent me a link to Sharon Clarks website this week, I was beyond excited!  While I don’t know Sharon or really anything about her photography studio, Smittin Photography, I knew immediately that I loved the brides that she works with!

A little inspiration for a sunny Thursday…  try something other than bouquets for your maids to carry!

Happy Friday!

It’s Friday and it’s at least a million degrees outside.  I think that combination calls for a few laughs before you embark on your weekend plans.  Yesterday Adam Czap, a local Detroit photographer, posted this video on his blog and I couldn’t resist sharing.  It’s hilarious and just another reason why it’s important to hire professionals!
