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!

Eastown Distributors

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.
