Spring Wedding: Rachel and Chris Mulford

Congratulations to Rachel and Christopher Mulford! We had such a great time assisting with their April 24th wedding, it was simple elegance, and Rachel was beautiful in a lace A-line gown that sparkled each time she was lead around the dance floor in a twirl, she looked timeless under the crystal chandelier lighting. Chris and Rachel's color palette consisted of sage green, black, white, ivory, and a touch of silver, the sage green table runners, and ivory roses in rectangular vases were handcrafted by the brides mother, adding to the elegance, a pillar candle and tea lights were placed atop a shiny mirror, set off by the white chair covers and black sashes.  The ivory rose bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were arranged by a family friend. You could find a monogram M on the table runners, cake topper, and candy bags, the finishing touches were Mr. and Mrs. Sashes for the sweetheart table, along with a black overlay, and a sheer, lighted draping as a backdrop. The lovely picture of Chris and Rachel is from Brandon Mulnix at Modern Photographics.

Reds on the River

Sherrie and I had the splendid opportunity to have lunch with Anne Gallup, of Reds on the River, located in Rockford, MI.  Anne is in charge of networking and marketing this fabulous restaurant and invited us out to take a look at their private dining room, perfect for rehearsal dinners!  Executive Chef, Glenn Forgie, cooks up top notch made-to-order dishes using fresh, local ingredients, he is extremely meticulous about his food, and is customer service driven.  Sherrie and I both had the Shrimp Chop Salad, a yummy mixture of greens, fresh veggies, marinated shrimp, blue cheese crumbles, and onion crisps, tossed in a creamy dressing.  My mouth is watering just writing about it!  The private dining room  is located through a separate entrance into the wine retail shop, famous for good wine at a great price, it has a warm and cozy lodge feel to it, where it overlooks the Rogue River.  The room seats about 32, and Chef Glenn prepares dishes off his private dining menu, or can customize as well.  If you are searching for the perfect rehearsal dinner, search no further!

Shutterbug Photography

Just like the name presents itself, up and coming Jennifer Orr of Shutterbug Photography is too cute! Working from her renovated studio of exposed brick with an industrial but cozy feel, her work takes on a fresh twist to traditional photography, as the picture she took above displays, and she is an avid volunteer taking pictures for all sorts of good causes and charity events. She is honest, sweet, and extremely comfortable to speak with, as she would be with any client.

Cascade Winery

Last Tuesday ele3 had the opportunity to connect with Cascade Winery, located right on East Beltline in Grand Rapids.

The afternoon proved to be very informative, through the exchange of different business ideas and discussion on why we love doing what we do! The winery offers a variety of services for all types of customers.

Cascade Winery is a cozy, intimate place for tasting or bottling your own wine, but they offer some special treats as well, like their pasta and wine night cooked by Bob himself, or their chocolate, cheese and wine night. If you and your fiance are looking for a low key night out, do try Cascade Winery.

Another fun feature that the winery offers, is custom label printing for your own wine! To the bride that is a wine connoisseur, or to the bride that likes the idea of it, custom labeled wine is a great gift for your wedding party, or to serve at your wedding.

What we love most is that the winery is located right in Grand Rapids, brides please remember this is a great way to support your local community and another simple way to add a "green" element to your wedding. The winery offers a variety of different wines, a few personal favorites are the raspberry chocolate dessert wine, and the cooking wine flavored with jalapenos!
