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.

  • Menu and bar service from Redwood Lodge
  • Live acoustic music by Sean Caldwell

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!

Bring Your Brand to the Tailgate

August 13, 2026
There’s something about a fall tailgate that just feels good. Crisp air, something on the grill, a little friendly competition and, if we’re lucky, a win at the end of the day. It’s also a great place for your brand to show up. The right custom tailgate item can become part of someone’s game-day routine. It’s the cooler they always grab, the blanket that lives in the car all fall or the game that comes out at every tailgate. In other words, you want someone saying, “I’m really glad I have this.”  Here are six ideas we’d put on the starting lineup:

How Thoughtful Details Made Connor & Gabrielle's Celebration Unforgettable

August 7, 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.

From Vision to Launch: Building the Fenton Pilates Studio Brand

August 7, 2026
We’ve had the great opportunity to work with Fenton Pilates Studio as they prepare to open their doors in downtown Fenton. Getting to be part of a new business from the beginning has allowed us to help bring their vision to life across every part of their brand. From the logo and website to signage, marketing materials, promotional products, and apparel, we’ve worked together to create a brand that feels clean, welcoming, and true to the experience Fenton Pilates Studio is creating for its clients. Starting with the Brand Identity The project began with a custom logo inspired by the studio’s beautiful front window overlooking Leroy Street. It’s a subtle detail that connects the brand to its downtown Fenton location while creating a clean, modern look that can grow with the business. From there, we designed and developed a custom website where future clients can learn about the studio, classes, instructors, and what to expect when they walk through the doors.
