After a very busy month we finally got a break and had a chance to add a new “Castle Couple” to our website. In May, Aaron & Pam had a very compassionate wedding with a great combination of personal touches and help from their families. They were so great to work with and their vendors were spectacular! They had a beautiful ceremony in the Knight’s Courtyard with Pastor Glad Remaly and every wonderful moment was captured by E’Lisa and Chris from E.C. Campbell Photography. We are always SO excited to see E’Lisa and Chris! They are the sweetest, most creative people and we are always thrilled to check out their finished products. You will see what we mean! Pam and her bridesmaid’s bouquets were designed by the ever creative Jen Haf, the owner of BLOOM. We love to see what Jen comes up with! So without further ado, please meet Aaron & Pam…

Such a fun picture!
This ship was in Charlevoix for the day and they got to climb aboard for some pictures. How cool is that?!
One of our new favorite photo ops at the Castle. Leave it up to E’Lisa to give us a shot we have never seen before! We thought we had seen them all. 
Thank you to Chris and E’Lisa from E.C. Campbell Photography for the amazing pictures and Congratulation Aaron & Pam. Your wedding was beautiful and one of a kind!

We have had so many original ideas from our Brides so far in 2009 that we are so excited every weekend to see what else they can come up with! Here are some examples from this year!!!
Andrea & Derek were married May 16th 2009 in the Knights Courtyard with their reception immediately following in the Kings Great Hall. Andrea thought of every detail when planning this wedding! From her damask overlays to their personalized beverage koozies, she really added a special touch to every aspect of their wedding day! Derek has a collection of signed guitars, and the couple thought it would be great to add a signed guitar from their wedding to his collection in lieu of a guest book.
Maggie & Jeremy had their ceremony in the West Courtyard with a reception to follow in the West Garden Room on May 22nd 2009. They decided to accent their reception with cornflower blue and a hint of lime. Their centerpieces consisted of a fun mix of blue and white hydrangeas, daisies, spider mums and limes!!
Christine & Brandon were married on May 24th 2009 in the Knights Castle! Christine chose a rich combination of teal and eggplant to enhance the Knights Castles unique appearance. The couple loves to snowboard and discovered a company that could make a custom cake topper resembling them with their snowboards. How cute is that!?

It was a busy year in 2008 and we saw many new trends come to Castle Farms! We love to see creative ideas. We are excited to see what new and great ideas our brides come up with every weekend.
Color Trends
Pink and brown were HUGE last year, but we also saw combinations of pink and orange, green and brown, and blue and brown. We saw quite a bit of purple in 2008 as well. From eggplant to lavender, our brides paired their purples with green, black, silver and yellow!
Favor Trends
The favors at weddings are becoming increasingly important and many of our brides are putting a lot of time and effort into coming up with unique ideas. Some of the brides have gone “green” and given their guests trees to plant and even reusable grocery bags from 1 Bag at a Time.
A few of our brides have decided to give northern Michigan inspired gifts such as fudge, cherries, and Michigan wine. There were also some great fall inspired favors such as caramel apples and maple syrup.
We are excited to see what new trends and ideas our 2009 brides will come up with!
