We got married at the Blue Dress Barn this summer and our entire wedding day was like a fairytale--we still can't get over how beautiful everything was. The greenery and grounds of the BDB are unmatched and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful everything was. Amelia is helpful and easy to work with and Georgia is lovely as well. The barn staff left the florals up on the arch and in the barn from the night before, which was such an incredible surprise because they were so gorgeous. The getting ready areas for the bridesmaids and groomsmen had so many beautiful & intentional details that made it so special for us. The venue is also well known by other vendors in the area as well since it's been around for so long (23 years!), and so working with our catering staff (Classic Catering), photography (Spencer Penfield) and DJ (DJ Jennefa) was a breeze. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. We feel so grateful we were able to spend our favorite day with all of our friends and family at this beautiful venue! Thank you, Amelia!

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t say it enough, hiring White Aster Planning for my day of coordinating was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. Amy was so helpful in organizing all of my thoughts in the weeks leading up to the big day, she calmed all of the anxiety I had about planning. She did an Amazing job wrangling everyone and making sure we all knew what to do during the rehearsal. And when our wedding day finally arrived, Amy was prepared, organized, and ready to make our wedding dreams come true. Because of her, we were able to relax and be in the moment while getting ready to walk down the aisle. She sent me pictures throughout the morning to make sure everything was perfect. And she definitely took my vision and brought it to life. We kept hearing from our friends and family the same 3 rave reviews, the food was delicious, the venue was magical, and Amy was Amazing. I highly recommend reaching out to White Aster Planning if you are considering having a wedding coordinator. You won’t regret it!

The venue itself was/is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures on the website, or social media, help show how beautiful it is, but in person, it is so much more beautiful. The communication from the owners and managers were excellent. Our caterer backed out about 4 months prior to our date and the manager helped us by offering different recommendations within our budget. We did not have to deal with this since our weather was perfect, but they have a very good backup plan that works well for unseen weather. Overall, I will recommend this venue fully to anyone interested.

My husband nor I are from Michigan (from the Chicagoland area) and everyone kept asking us "why Michigan?" The moment they walked in, they felt the same feeling I did when I first toured the venue. It is beautiful, unique, personal and was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Our wedding as at the end of June and we were very fortunate that the rain held off and the temperature/humidity ended up being perfect. We had about 185 guests attend the wedding and I think everyone was too stunned by the venue to even care about the drizzle of rain that was happening. Not to mention, Amelia and her staff are absolutely amazing from the very beginning to the very end.

I recently had the pleasure of getting new-to-me services at Alder: my wedding hair (Kristen) and makeup (Anne). Two of my bridesmaids and also my mom (she was with Kayleigh) had their hair and/or makeup here. For my makeup trial, I had no clear idea what I wanted. The trial was fine, but afterwards I realized I didn’t love it and Anne was very gracious about letting me do another trial, and made me feel 0 guilt about it, and as the person who is forever convinced that I’m a burden, I am so, so grateful for that. Second trial went great and I loved the look. Felt very much like myself but better! For hair, I had a particular look in mind, and the trial went amazing and was everything I wanted! My actual wedding day was on a weekday and my party was small, so our hair and makeup were done at Alder (they will go on site if you have a minimum number of people) which was a relief to me because my venue’s getting ready area was not well lit, and Alder’s decor is always on point. We had some hiccups about appointment time (I forgot to factor in the fact that my venue was an hour away from the studio and my bridesmaids scheduled independently) but Kristen, Anne, and the Alder team were accommodating and again, didn’t make me feel like a burden even though I 100% should have scheduled all the appointments at the same time to avoid that problem in the first place. I’m not perfect! They even let us bring in breakfast while getting ready and it was just an all around good time. I felt like a princess, and my bridesmaids and mom looked so gorgeous!.

Saint Rose Florist did an incredible job bringing our wedding floral vision to life. Jennifer was so great to work with - quick to respond, thorough in her questions, and extremely helpful in translating my inspiration pictures into arrangements that perfectly suited our venue and style. The end result was absolutely stunning! Jennifer took our ideas and elevated them beyond what we could have imagined. From the bouquets to the centerpieces every little floral detail was gorgeous and made such an impact in the overall look of our wedding day. We could not recommend Jennifer and Saint Rose Florist more highly for all your floral needs. Jennifer brought immense talent and care that resulted in florals that made our dream wedding a reality. We are so thankful to have worked with her and for the beautiful work she did. Definitely a 10/10 vendor who contributed so much to our special day!

I cannot say enough great things about working with Jaime! She truly made the stressful experience so easy. From the time I met her at a bridal show, up until even now after wedding day, Jaime has been a pleasure to work with. Communication is amazing, she’s so incredibly supportive, professional, and detail oriented! She took our wild idea of a Tim Burton-esque theme and made it come to life. The day was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined or hoped for. My husband originally wasn’t sure a wedding planner was even worth the cost, but as the day got closer, he was so thankful we had her part of our team. Jaime went above and beyond what I thought a wedding planner would do, I even had another vendor share with me what a pleasure she was to work with! I cannot say enough nice things about her, I don’t think there’s enough words in the world to describe it! In moments of brief anxiety on wedding day, I just looked around for Jaime and knew it would all turn out alright once I saw her. I’d recommend her to literally everyone I know.

I was stressing over floral for my wedding. I wanted something pretty simple but not too pricy. I got connected with Poppy and the Peony and they took care of the stress I had! They helped me with pricing options and we found something that worked in my budget but also that I loved. I was still nervous going into the day of my wedding on how the floral would look, but everything was amazing! The tables were perfect and all that I was looking for. I would suggest this company to anyone! They came and set up the floral. I had to return the vases, which was no big deal at all! There are tons of different options for all budgets.
