On April 12, 2025, Emma and Eric tied the knot in a celebration that beautifully blended timeless tradition with vibrant, modern flair. Their ceremony took place at the stunning St. Thomas Lutheran Church, where soft light filtered through stained glass windows as the couple exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by family and friends. This DAC spring wedding was memorable from beginning to end.
From the start, every detail of the day was a reflection of Emma and Eric’s style and love story. Emma prepared for her big day with her loyal dog, Mr. Nightly, by her side — a sweet and grounding presence during the morning’s flurry of excitement. Dressed in a sleek, off-the-shoulder satin gown, she exuded elegance and grace, a vision of vintage glamour brought to life.

The celebration continued at the Detroit Athletic Club, an iconic venue that provided the perfect backdrop of antique charm and elevated ambiance. Golden accents, rich wood, and candlelight paired beautifully with the couple’s choice of bold, joyful florals. Lush arrangements of hot pink roses, golden ranunculus, tangerine-hued garden roses, and delicate wildflowers added a burst of color to every table and bouquet, bringing warmth and personality into the sophisticated setting.

As guests transitioned into the evening, dueling pianos kicked off a night of dancing and singing along to all the great classics — creating a high-energy, unforgettable party. The DAC spring wedding had all the essential elements, making it a truly memorable event. And in a perfectly unexpected twist, while walking through downtown Detroit for portraits, Emma ran into a coworker — also dressed in a wedding gown! The chance encounter between two brides on their big day was a spontaneous and joyful moment, full of laughter and a quick photo!
Emma’s bouquet, a breathtaking mix of orange, magenta, and yellow blooms, echoed the energy of the day — bright, full of life, and effortlessly romantic. Paired with glowing pink candles and thoughtful vintage touches, the wedding decor brought old-world elegance into the modern day.
