Ashley + Dean | State Savings Bank Wedding

Ashley and Dean’s wedding was the kind of celebration that makes you wish you could relive every moment. From the intimate getting-ready session at the Shinola Hotel to the glamorous reception at the State Savings Bank, this day was packed with jaw-dropping moments and unforgettable details.

Macedonian Traditions Meet Modern Vibes

The couple kicked off the day with a beautiful traditional Macedonian wedding ceremony. There’s something so special about blending rich cultural traditions with a modern-day celebration, and Ashley and Dean’s ceremony was a perfect example of that. The love and joy shared by everyone in attendance made the ceremony feel intimate, yet grand all at once.

A Photo Op at Michigan Central

After the ceremony, we headed to Michigan Central Station for their portraits, and let me tell you—it was such a vibe. The industrial backdrop combined with the sleek architecture made for some seriously stunning shots. Ashley and Dean had no bridal party, which added to the cool, relaxed vibe of the day. It was just them, their love, and the city as the perfect backdrop.

A Reception Reveal Like No Other

One of my favorite moments of the day was the reception reveal for the bride and groom. Ashley and Dean entered their reception space in a way that left everyone in awe. The excitement was palpable, and when they stepped inside, the room took their breath away. The reveal was pure magic—an epic moment for such an incredible couple.

From the moment they walked into the reception, it was clear that the vision for the day was pure glamour. The details? Incredible. The entire aesthetic gave off major Gatsby vibes, with lush florals by Flowers for Dreams in Detroit, glitzy touches, and a sophisticated, timeless atmosphere. And don’t even get me started on the cake—Sweet Heather Anne knocked it out of the park with a gorgeous creation that almost looked too pretty to eat. Almost.

The mastermind behind all of this beauty? Kate of Planning Collective. Her impeccable planning and design brought everything together seamlessly. From the gorgeous ceremony to the unforgettable reception, Kate truly made Ashley and Dean’s wedding day a dream come true.
