Thinking back to this day there are so many things we absolutely fell in love with. There are of course the usual elements that get us all kinds of excited — a summer wedding, a mix of both Lake Michigan and Grand Rapids to give us all the West Michigan vibes, and of course a gorgeous couple like Emily + John. But if you thought the list ended there you would be VERY wrong.

This day was made up of so many intentional and thoughtful decisions that it was hard fitting them all into their trailer! From Emily's siblings, her people of honor, delivering a heartfelt and beautiful joint speech, to a dash of tropical aesthetics spilling out from every bouquet and every centerpiece — we are officially requesting every wedding incorporate monsteras somewhere in the design details, please and thank you — to stealing away in the middle of the evening to soak in the day atop the JW, overlooking all of Grand Rapids.

It was everything and so much more.

This day will be living rent-free in our memories for quite some time, and we are fully okay with that. Here's to the continued blessings and best fortunes for the wonderful Mr. + Mrs. Birney!
