"YOU ARE FOREVER AND ALWAYS THE HERO OF MY HEART, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE."

​

    RACHEL & NICK HAVE AN AMAZING LOVE STORY. THEY MET WHILE THEY WERE BOTH LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, BOTH WORKING IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY. THEY WERE WORKING FOR THE SAME COMPANY, AND OCCASIONALLY NICK WOULD COVER FOR EMPLOYEES AT RACHEL'S JOB. THEIR CONNECTION WAS IMMEDIATE, BUT THE COURTSHIP WASN'T AS QUICK. THEY BECAME GREAT FRIENDS INSTANTLY, BUT NICK GOT A PROMOTION THAT MOVED HIM TO CALIFORNIA. RACHEL & NICK KNEW IT WAS MEANT TO BE WHEN THEY REALIZED THEY COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT EACH OTHER. THEY MADE LONG DISTANCE WORK TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND BOTH TRAVELED BETWEEN L.A & LAS VEGAS FOR MONTHS. FINALLY, THE STARS ALIGNED WHEN NICK RECEIVED ANOTHER PROMOTION TO FLORIDA, AROUND THE SAME TIME RACHEL'S PARENTS MOVED THERE FROM MICHIGAN. THEY MOVED IN TOGETHER, AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, NICK TOOK RACHEL BACK TO CALIFORNIA FOR A VACATION, AND PROPOSED AT THE DODGERS GAME. HE INCORPORATED THEIR PREVIOUS BOSS, FROM THE COMPANY THEY CAN THANK FOR INTRODUCING THEM. THE COUPLE HAS BEEN LIVING THEIR HAPPILY EVER, BUT COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED FOR THEIR ADVENTURES AHEAD AS A MARRIED COUPLE. 

​

​

    RACHEL AND NICK LOVE TO TRAVEL AND MANY OF THEIR FRIENDS & FAMILY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEIR GRANDPARENTS LIVE IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. IT MADE SENSE FOR THEM AND THEIR PARENTS TO TRAVEL BACK TO MICHIGAN FOR THIS COUPLE TO TIE THE KNOT, ALTHOUGH IT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO STAY TRUE TO THEIR FLORIDA ROOTS. THE FUTURE MR. & MRS. WANTED TO COMBINE FALL THEME, AS WELL AS PAYING HOMAGE TO THEIR NEW HOMETOWN.  RACHEL & NICK HAVE ROOTED THEIR RELATIONSHIP THROUGH FAITH, AND IT WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM, AS WELL AS THEIR PARENTS TO BE MARRIED IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. THROUGH RESEARCH, THEY FOUND SACRED HEART CATHOLIC PARRISH AND SCHOOL WAS THE CLASSIC CATHEDRAL RACHEL HAD DREAMED OF BEING MARRIED IN SINCE SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL. IT IS CLOSE IN LOCATION TO BOTH THE DEARBORN COUNTY CLUB, AND THE HENRY SIGNATURE AUTOGRAPH COLLECTIONS, THE RECEPTION SITE, AND THE RECOMMENDED HOTEL. RACHEL & NICK ARE CHOOSING TO HAVE A SMALL WEDDING, SURROUNDED BY 50 OF THEIR CLOSEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 

 

    RACHEL WANTED JEWEL TONES FOR HER FALL WEDDING. THEIR INVITATIONS WERE REMINISCENT OF THEIR FOND MEMORIES ON THE BEACH IN BOTH CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA, USING THE AQUA COLOR FAMILY TO SET THE TONE OF THEIR WEDDING. WHEN GUESTS ARRIVE AT THE COCKTAIL HOUR,  AFTER THE TIMELESS CEREMONY, THE JEWEL TONE WATERCOLOR DIPPED NAME CARDS AND TABLE NUMBERS ARE HELD IN MINIATURE DRIFTWOOD PIECES, CONNECTED TO A COPPER WIRE, THAT THE GUESTS CAN KEEP. THE WEDDING PARTY WILL ARRIVE IN A LIMO, BUT THE BRIDE AND GROOM WILL COME IN A WHITE CONVERTIBLE, AGAIN TO TIE IN THEIR FLORIDA ROOTS. THE GUESTS WILL BE OFFERED A LAVENDER CHAMPAGNE FLUTE TO ENJOY. THE RICH PURPLE TONES OF THE FLOWERS AGAINST THE TURQUOISE VASES AND VESSELS CREATE THE PERFECT JEWEL TONE ATMOSPHERE RACHEL DESIRED. WE INCORPORATED HEART SHAPED TEAL AND GOLD CONFETTI FOR THE GUESTS TO PLAY WITH AT THEIR TABLES, AND THE HIS AND HER HEAD CHAIRS DRAPED IN COZY COORDINATED BLANKETS THAT THE COUPLE CAN CHERISH FOREVER. THE COUPLE ARE AVID WINE DRINKERS AND THEY WANTED TO SHARE THEIR LOVE OF A GOOD RED WINE WITH THEIR GUESTS. THEY GIFTED EACH TABLE A BOTTLE OF THEIR FAVORITE RED, AND THE TABLE NUMBER DOUBLED AS A WINE STOPPER. AS FOR THE FOOD, CHICKEN AND SALMON WILL BE SERVED, AND THE CAKE REFLECTS THE AESTHETIC OF THE INVITATIONS. 

 

    RACHEL & NICK ARE A YOUNG, FUN COUPLE WHO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS. THEY CHOSE TO PROVIDE THE GAME CORN-HOLE AND A PHOTOBOOTH TO KEEP GUESTS ENTERTAINED AS WELL AS DANCING AND INSTAGRAMMING THEIR PHOTOS WITH THE HASHTAG  #DANCINGWITHWOLFES AS AN ODE TO RACHEL'S’ HISTORY AS A DANCE MAJOR AND THEIR NEW LAST NAME. THE SPARKLER SEND OFF IS A PICTURE PERFECT WAY TO SEND OFF THE NEWLYWEDS TO THEIR HONEYMOON AFTER A WONDERFUL DREAM-LIKE DAY.
