Felt Mansion Wedding | Saugatuck, MI

I’m absolutely thrilled to share Julia and Nick’s Felt Mansion Wedding today! These two went from being college sweethearts to becoming lifelong partners. Their wedding at the dreamy Felt Estate in Michigan was an enchanting day filled with so much beauty!

Imagine this: college starts, and bam! Julia and Nick cross paths on day ONE. It was as if the universe had a grand plan for them. Fast forward to a breathtaking beach sunset where Nick popped the big question, and cue all the swoons! From that moment on, their love story had “happily ever after” written all over it.

When it came to choosing a wedding venue, Julia and Nick opted for pure magic. The Felt Mansion, in particular, was a perfect choice—they had visited it before and fallen in love.

With the sun shining brightly and Michigan’s beauty in full swing, nothing could rain on their parade. I mean, sure, there was a tiny sprinkle in the afternoon, but you know what they say: a little rain brings good luck, right?

Julia was a vision of timeless beauty during her getting-ready photos, exuding class and sophistication. The style choices of the day were simple yet incredibly elegant, and I couldn’t get enough.

The ceremony was nothing short of a fairy tale. Picture this: a unique seating arrangement in front of a charming white chapel, setting the stage for a truly magical experience. Julia and Nick’s love was front and center, surrounded by stunning florals in shades of green and white. The bridesmaids looked so elegant in sage green dresses, exquisitely complementing the overall style of the day.

Their wedding day exuded pure magic, and I feel incredibly thrilled to have played a small part in their love story. From their college beginnings to a beach proposal and a dreamy Felt Mansion wedding, their journey is a reflection of the genuine joy and connection that they share.

Now, let’s dive into the heartwarming photos that beautifully captured their day. Trust me; you’re in for a treat. If their love story has you feeling all warm and fuzzy, let’s chat!
