When Lisa and Sam had first contacted Simply Brilliant Events, they had booked their venue at the beautiful Wellers Carriage House in Saline, Michigan. Both Lisa and Sam are busy professionals in New York City, they knew they needed a luxury full service wedding planner for their destination wedding in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Design wise we wanted to use and enhance all the great features of Wellers Carriage House, the darker wood, architectural details. We carefully selected classic white table linens with navy napkins, menu cards placed on top. The long tables at Wellers Carriage House are very narrow, Kate from New Creations Flower Company loosely placed greenery with pretty white flowers and votives. On the larger round tables, Kate created high arrangements and many candles. Such a pretty look, that works so well with Wellers Carriage House.
