Lena and Brett - August 21, 2010

Rabbi Syme, Cantor Rachel and cousin Rabbi Pamela all officiated the wedding. As you can see, the chuppah was held by four friends and all the guests walked under it to go to the reception. I love when they do that.

Roma Sposa had exactly what Lena wanted in a bridal gown. it was three pieces and here her dad and her try out walking to make sure she does not trip. Perfect! Smiles all around.

Mom and Dad, Margie and Donald, look radiant as they enjoy their daughters wedding. Now with both daughters happily married, they can sit back and wait for, dare I say, grandchildren. Hopefully they will not have to wait long!

From the photo above at Roma Sposa to the picture here, Lena looks radiant!

I did Lena's sister Lily's wedding two years ago and grandma looked just as beautiful today as she did at Lily's wedding. I love the generation pictures. they are so special. Make sure you all take lots of them.

Cake. Got to eat cake. Especially if it is from Patisserie Parmentier. John Parmentier is the owner and can make you spectacular cakes. In any shape and any flavor. Lena and Brett's cake was so elegant and beautiful and included a fountain below. Kathy Henk, florist, added a few dozen roses and it looked amazing...and it tasted good to!

Kathy Henks Studio in Pontiac did an amazing job on the flowers. They were gorgeous. Huge sunflowers and the colors were vibrant and really made an impact in the room as well as on the tables. They smelled lovely and Kathy really put her heart into this wedding, as she does every wedding. Amazing job Kathy!


Would you believe this is the stage at Temple Beth El? Well it is. No room for tables so we made use of the stage. THANK GOODNESS this bride and groom loved color. Not the same white, they really stepped it up! Yes, that is a water fountain in the middle of the sweet table!!

And would you have ever guessed this was the ceiling at temple Beth El? Well thank you Barbara Mandell for this spectacular ceiling treatment. It really made the room!

Hold on tight!! The bride and groom had a wonderful time doing the hora and being lifted up in the chairs. It is always fun to see there smiles as they enjoy seeing their family and friends from a birds eye view!

A wonderful way to personalize your wedding is with a song....here sung by the bride to her groom. The crowd cheered Lena on as she sang to her husband.
