Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on this local board. I got engaged this weekend in Grand Rapids and I am excited to begin the wedding planning process...I just don't know where to begin! What were the first decisions you made?
My fiance and I are hoping to get married in late August/early September of next year in Grand Rapids (although we are open to other fun locations in West Michigan). I was also hoping to get some suggestions for reception locations and photographers in Grand Rapids/West Michigan. I would also hoping to find a wholesale flower vendor in West Michigan so that I can create my own bouquets and centerpieces...do any of you have any suggestions?
A little info that may be helpful:
-I want to have a subtle "nautical" theme (navy blues/khaki/yellows)
-we are expecting to invite between 200-225 people
-his family will be travelling from the Detroit area
-he is a WMU alum and I am a GVSU alum
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and/or advice you can give me!
