The Reception

After the ceremony at the Church of the Divine Child, Larah's family church and alma mater from grade school through high school, the couple made their exit amid bubbles, then headed off with their bridal party in a white limousine for the celebration at the Henry Ford Estate. It was very important for me to have it at a location that I know will always be there, so that we can return and visit many years later, Larah explains. In keeping with their autumnal theme, the couple selected a palette with shades of maple and oak leaves. Birds of paradise and various mums and roses in fall colors adorned each table, and large martini glasses held floating candles shaped like maple leaves and pumpkins. Carved pumpkins also graced the front of the reception site, serving as pots for mums.
