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!

Some promotional products are practical. Some are useful. And some simply make the whole event more fun. Foldable cowboy hats fall into that last category.

Back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of year for schools, community organizations, and family-focused businesses. Open houses, orientations, festivals, and school supply giveaways all provide opportunities to connect with local families. While everyone else is handing out another pencil or notebook, consider giving them something they'll actually enjoy using: a coloring book. Coloring books are interactive, memorable, and offer a fun way to keep your brand in front of families. Better yet, there are two ways to make them work for your organization. Branded vs. Custom Coloring Books Branded Coloring Books A branded coloring book starts with a professionally designed, ready-to-print book. Your logo, business name, and contact information are added to the cover, creating an affordable giveaway that's quick to produce and easy to distribute. Branded coloring books are a great fit for school open houses, community festivals, health fairs, pediatric and dental offices, libraries, parks and recreation departments, banks, credit unions, and other family-focused events. Custom Coloring Books A custom coloring book is created specifically for your organization. Instead of placing your logo on an existing design, every page features original artwork and content that reflects your business, mission, or message. You can include your mascot, products or services, local landmarks, educational topics, safety tips, puzzles, activities, or just-for-fun pages. Whether you're introducing students to a new school, teaching healthy habits, celebrating your community, or explaining what your business does, a custom coloring book tells your story in a creative and engaging way. Give Families Something They'll Remember Back-to-school season is the perfect time to think beyond the standard promotional products. Whether you're looking for a branded coloring book featuring your logo or a completely custom coloring book with original illustrations and content, Behind Your Design can help you create something families will be excited to take home. Sometimes the best promotional products aren't the ones everyone expects. They're the ones everyone remembers.

When Superior Lawn & Landscape completed its new facility, they wanted an event that felt as professional and polished as the company they’ve built. Behind Your Design partnered with their team to bring that vision to life, creating an experience where every detail reinforced their brand. From the moment guests arrived, the Superior Lawn & Landscape brand was present. We managed signage, catering, beverages, entertainment, photography, and overall layout, along with rental coordination to create a cohesive, functional space. We also created branded giveaways and promotional items, including aluminum cups, koozies, journals, chapstick, bug spray, sunglasses, and lots more. Door prizes and a raffle featuring company merchandise added excitement and gave guests keepsakes from the day. The biggest visual impact came from something simple: the custom Hawaiian shirts. Seeing the team and staff in coordinated branded apparel instantly created unity. It transformed individuals into one team with one identity and reinforced the company’s personality in a way traditional marketing materials can’t. That’s the power of branded apparel.

Some projects are about creating great branding. Others are about helping bring a piece of community history back to life. This spring, Behind Your Design had the privilege of supporting the return of the Flint Soap Box Derby to Cronin Derby Downs, the original home of the Flint Soap Box Derby, where racing first began in 1969. On May 30, 2026, the newly restored track welcomed racers, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters back to the hill for the inaugural race at its historic location. It was a day filled with excitement, nostalgia, and community pride, but the impact of the Soap Box Derby extends far beyond a single race day.

When it comes to creating a polished, professional space, the details matter. One of the most effective and affordable ways to elevate your workplace is with custom vinyl lettering for walls, windows, and other smooth surfaces.
