A Full Circle Celebration: Helping the Wentworth Family Celebrate Kori & Christian

August 31, 2025

From Bridal Shower to ‘I Do’ – Coordinating Every Detail with Care

One of the best parts of owning a business for nearly two decades is the way relationships come full circle. When fellow Albion College alumna, Jen Wentworth, reached out this spring to ask if Behind Your Design could help with her son’s wedding, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. Her husband, John Wentworth, was one of my very first clients when I launched Behind Your Design, and over the years we’ve had the pleasure of working with The Wentworth Group on many projects. Helping their family celebrate such a meaningful milestone felt like such a natural extension of our friendship and partnership.



From March through August, our team was honored to coordinate multiple events leading up to Kori and Christian’s wedding—making sure every detail reflected the couple’s personality, style, and story as high school sweethearts from Powers Catholic High School.

The Bridal Shower at Andiamo

The celebration began at Andiamo in Fenton, where family and friends gathered for a beautiful bridal shower. We coordinated:

  • Venue details to ensure a seamless flow
  • Flowers and décor from Gerych’s to set the perfect atmosphere
  • Live music from Savannah Fellenbaum to add a warm, personal touch
  • A bouquet bar for guests to create something special
  • Custom welcome signage designed and printed by our team

It was a joyful start to the wedding festivities, filled with laughter, love, and thoughtful details.

The Rehearsal Dinner at the Wentworths’ Lakefront Home

The night before the wedding, guests gathered at John and Jen’s gorgeous home on the lake. Our team handled coordination so the Wentworth family could relax and enjoy. Highlights included:

  • Layout, flowers, and décor designed with Gerych’s
  • Menu and bar service from Redwood Lodge
  • Live acoustic music by Sean Caldwell
  • A photo station where guests shared advice and memories, later captured in keepsake albums
  • Custom acrylic signage for the rehearsal dinner and wedding
  • Printed rehearsal dinner invitations designed by Behind Your Design
  • Onsite coordination to manage all the details, including welcome and parking signs

We even ensured that all items needed for the wedding—including custom CRUST cookies—were delivered onsite the next morning.

The Wedding at Holly Vault Collection

When the big day arrived, our team was there bright and early at the Holly Vault Collection to transform the space and bring the couple’s vision to life. We created and coordinated:

  • Custom favors and details: matchbooks, cups, drink stirrers, napkins, and chocolate buttermints in branded wrappers
  • Live cocktail hour music by John Latner of Driven and an unforgettable reception with DJ ChaChi
  • Custom signage for the bar, cake table, and photo booth
  • A stunning black-and-white photo collage of the couple as a photo booth backdrop
  • A fully wrapped Uncle Ray’s Dairyland ice cream cart with custom graphics
  • A newsprint program filled with fun stories about the couple
  • Canvas prints of engagement photos displayed on elegant gold stands
  • A glowing custom neon sign behind the head table reading “The Wentworth’s”
  • Custom decals for the party buses, featuring the couple’s logo

We also printed the wedding invitations designed by a friend of the couple, ensuring everything tied together beautifully.

A Day to Remember

It was a joy to help bring together so many thoughtful details that made Kori and Christian’s wedding celebrations truly one-of-a-kind. From the first meeting with Jen in March to the last sparkler send-off, our mission was simple: to make sure every special moment happened exactly the way the couple envisioned.

Working with the Wentworth family reminded me why I love what I do. Weddings are about more than just the details—they’re about creating experiences and memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you, Jen and John, for trusting us with such an important milestone. We were honored to help make Kori and Christian’s wedding celebrations one for the books!

A Polished Pen with a Purpose

October 8, 2026
Sometimes, the simplest promotional products make the biggest impact! We really enjoyed working with Notre Dame Prep to create these custom red pens for The Amazing Shake competition. Featuring both the school's logo and The Amazing Shake logo with a sleek silver imprint, they're a simple way to showcase both brands. The Amazing Shake is a competition that helps students build important life skills, including communication, professionalism, and confidence. Branded pens are a practical way to commemorate an event like this. They're something attendees can take home, use again and again, and remember the experience long after it's over.

Full sublimation on both sides of the canopy allows branded umbrellas to go beyond a logo. Colors, patterns, illustrations and original artwork can become part of the design.

Custom Jerseys Put a New Spin on Spirit Wear

September 29, 2026
Custom jerseys are a fun way to take spirit wear beyond the standard T-shirt or sweatshirt. With fully customizable designs, they can be created around your school, team, organization or event and made to feel completely unique. At Behind Your Design, we can customize jerseys with your colors, logos, graphics, names, numbers and more. Full-color dye sublimation gives you plenty of freedom to create bold designs across the entire jersey while keeping the finished piece comfortable and wearable. We’ve created several custom jersey styles for our clients, including football and baseball jerseys for Michigan State University Fall Fest. Each offered a different look while giving MSU a memorable piece of custom spirit wear that still felt true to their brand.

A Successful Day at the 2026 MSU Vendor Fair

September 29, 2026
We had a fantastic time at the 2026 Michigan State University Vendor Fair ! It was a great day of connecting with so many wonderful people including current customers, new faces and plenty of potential future clients from departments and organizations across campus. One of the biggest hits at our booth was our T-shirt bags , which definitely got people talking. We also had lots of interest in the fully sublimated, two-sided umbrella we created for the CRIM Fitness Foundation. It was a great example of how a promotional product can go beyond simply adding a logo and become something truly custom and memorable.
