Our sister site Lakeshore Shoppers posted yesterday about ways to use vintage-style broaches from Calico Cat in downtown Grand Haven as an accessory this fall: on scarves, cardigans, jackets, etc. We love broaches on bouquets! What a wonderful way to celebrate family and maybe even a little something blue with your grandmother's antique broach! This photo is of a stunning bouquet (LOVE peonies!) from Modern Day Floral in Grand Rapids!

Venues on the lakeshore can be surprisingly difficult to come by, but when you find them you realize how in-demand they really are! Camp Blodgett is a beach retreat just 6 miles south of Grand Haven and Summer 2012 is nearly all booked up already! It's no wonder why - just look at the view!

Pastel-colored balloons can be a beautiful way to add bright and interesting light to your spring/summer wedding day or engagement photos. An affordable and easy photo prop! Hand them out to the kids at the wedding afterward!

Holland brides: If you want to be in the downtown area for your reception, consider utilizing the creative space of the Holland Area Arts Council on 8th Street. A great setting for an artistic couple.

The detail on this gown is so glamorous! From head to toe this vintage-inspired gown from September's Bride in downtown Holland will make you feel like a princess on your wedding day.

Amazing lakeshore venue! The Felt Mansion just south of Holland is a stunning old estate that will turn your wedding into a fairy tale! Have a tent in the expansive gardens or decorate the grandeur home - or both! We love this venue and its jump back in time to an English estate. Winter brides: can you imagine glittering holiday lights on this place?!
