Celebration with Tulips, Lightsabers, and Love
Sydney and Charlie’s wedding at the Ivy House in Saugatuck, Michigan was the perfect blend of elegance and fun. They got married on May 4th, surrounded by their favorite people, stunning tulips, and a few nods to Star Wars.
The couple chose the Ivy House for its natural beauty and warm, welcoming vibe. Not only was it a stunning venue, but it also perfectly reflected their vision for the day. Their ceremony took place in the venue’s greenhouse, a bright, glass-filled space that glowed even on a rainy day. Although the rain fell gently during part of the day, it added a cozy, romantic feel and still didn’t dampen any of the joy.
The wedding’s style was elegant simplicity, with natural touches and personal flair. In particular, their color palette mixed dusty green and soft grey with tulips in warm hues. Because the day also fell during Holland’s Tulip Time Festival, it was the perfect floral choice. Tulips were everywhere—from bouquets to centerpieces—and as a result, they brought the entire spring celebration to life.
One of the most memorable parts of the day? It was May the 4th — so naturally, Star Wars made an appearance! Sydney and Charlie embraced the theme in their own way, complete with light saber and pirate sword portraits (yes, really!). The whole day had an effortlessly joyful feel, and that carefree vibe carried through the entire celebration.
Sydney wore a beautiful gown with a removable skirt, switching to a sleeker look for the reception. The dance floor was packed, a conga line spontaneously formed, and late-night pizza kept the good times rolling.
Congratulations again, Sydney and Charlie! Your wedding was an absolute blast to photograph from start to finish. One of my favorite parts had to be the wedding party’s impromptu “fight scene”. Thank you for letting me be part of such a memorable celebration. I’m so excited for everything ahead of you. As you begin this next chapter together, I’m wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and spontaneous dance parties!
