How Thoughtful Details Made Connor & Gabrielle's Celebration Unforgettable

September 21, 2026

When people think back on a wedding, they usually remember the big moments, the ceremony, the first dance, and the reception. But it's often the thoughtful details that make a big day feel even more special for both the couple and the people celebrating with them.

This July, we had the chance to be part of another Macksood family wedding as Connor and Gabrielle tied the knot. After helping with Hannah and Reed's wedding, it was so much fun to work with the family again and create another collection of custom pieces for such a memorable day. From custom signage to personalized drinkware, every item added a little something to the celebration.


A Wedding Full of Personal Touches


Connor and Gabrielle wanted every part of their wedding to reflect their personalities, their style, and the story they wanted to tell. That's exactly what custom products can do. For their big day, we created custom pens, cups, napkins, a felt letter board sign, photo coasters featuring the couple, and an acrylic sign. We also created custom shirts and socks that added another fun, personalized element to the wedding festivities.

Check out the custom mini felt board between Connor and Gabrielle that we created for their rehersal dinner. The board is a nod to the welcome board at Connor's favorite restaurant, Dam Site Inn, in Brutus, MI (shown above).


Signage can be more than just functional. Check out this beautiful custom acrylic sign with gold foil imprint that welcomed guests the night before the wedding.


The 7 Eleven Gear Was an Instant Favorite

One of our favorite custom pieces from this project was the shirts inspired by the couple's wedding date. Since Connor and Gabrielle were getting married on July 11 (7/11), they decided to have a little fun with the date. The design took inspiration from the iconic 7-Eleven branding, with "Connor & Gabrielle" and "2026" added to either side of the logo.


To complement the shirts, we also created matching custom socks featuring the same playful design. Together, they made a fun keepsake for the people celebrating alongside the couple. Long after the wedding is over, every time someone pulls on that shirt or pair of socks, they'll be reminded of the great memories and good vibes from the celebration.


The Little Details Matter


The biggest moments of a wedding will always be unforgettable, but it's the thoughtful details that help create the atmosphere guests remember. A personalized cup waiting at the bar, a photo coaster that sparks conversation, a welcome sign that greets guests as they arrive, or custom apparel that becomes a keepsake after the celebration. These are the touches that make a wedding feel warm, inviting, and intentionally designed.

When every detail works together, it creates a cohesive experience from the moment guests arrive until the last dance. Connor and Gabrielle's wedding is a perfect example of how thoughtful personalization can transform everyday items into meaningful parts of the celebration, making a beautiful day feel even more memorable for everyone who shared it.

Make your wedding decor a keepsake like Ryan and Hannah did with this custom neon sign last summer, that Connor and Gabrielle were able to reuse on their special day.

We're excited to share a new website we recently designed and built for Goyette Service , a family-owned business headquartered in Flint, Michigan. Goyette has been serving homeowners and businesses throughout Mid-Michigan for generations, providing trusted plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical, sewer and drain, and commercial services. With so many services under one roof, their website needed to make it simple for customers to quickly find what they need. Behind Your Design worked with the Goyette team to reorganize and update the site with a fresh, modern look and a more user-friendly experience. Residential and commercial services are clearly separated, service information is easier to navigate, and 24/7 emergency service is prominently featured so customers can quickly find help when they need it most.
