REAL WEDDINGS
FLORALS Sarah and Travis incorporated the Scottish emblem into her bouquet and his boutonniere to honor Sarah’s Scotch-Irish grandfather from Nova Scotia. ATTIRE Travis designed his three-piece suit with a Detroit-based haberdashery. Sarah wore a silk faille gown and, as a nod to the full moon of their wedding day, a black diamond ear cuff featuring the phases of the moon. COCKTAILS The couple paired custom drinks with each course throughout the day, starting with cocktail hour in a flower-adorned tent dedicated solely to aperitifs.

ichigan natives Sarah Power (33 and a senior manager) and Travis Linderman (38 and a relationship manager) created an alfresco event inspired by northern Michigan and its wilderness to show their guests why they love this area of the country. “I lived here for years and the smell of the pine trees on the water never really left me,” Sarah says. The pair wed in an open-air structure resembling a chapel, allowing them to have both the church and outdoor ceremony they desired. Black taper candles offset rose gold hues and textured fabrics, while a transparent tent showcased the environment. Plus, they included a Detroit staple: a gospel choir, who sang classic Motown tunes. —Stephanie Cain
