A Romantic, Rustic Barn Wedding at Visions at CenterPointe in Traverse City, Michigan

As a nod to their ceremony’s vineyard venue, Stephanie Jablonski (30 and a kindergarten teacher) and Chuck Eiler (40 and an art director) decked out the rustic setting using wine-inspired colors of champagne, blush and garnet.

“We traveled to Traverse City for our first weekend getaway and fell in love with Black Star Farms and each other,” Stephanie says of returning to the vineyard to say “I do.” Postceremony, the newlyweds hosted a champagne mixer for guests at the back of the barn. 

An illustrated splash of red wine dotted each piece of custom stationery. 

The reception took place at a waterfront venue that boasted unbeatable views of the bay. “We loved the idea of holding our ceremony at a winery and our reception overlooking the lake,” Stephanie says. “It was the best of both worlds.” Dozens of candles bathed the window-lined space in a romantic glow. 

The cake flavors ranged from pink champagne and lemon black raspberry to chocolate fudge.
