Love Illuminated: A Valentine’s Day Wedding at Planterra Conservatory
Valentine’s Day has always been synonymous with romance, but for one special couple, February 14th, 2025, was more than just a celebration of love—it was the day they united their lives forever. Surrounded by lush greenery and sparkling lights at the stunning Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, MI, the couple’s dream of an enchanting, love-filled evening came to life. With a theme centered on “Love Illuminates,” every moment of their wedding was designed to make guests feel the magic of falling in love all over again.
A Love Story for the Ages
The couple’s journey began four years ago when they matched on a dating app. From their very first date, the connection was undeniable—they never parted ways. Fast forward to last year, on the sunny shores of Virginia Beach, the groom proposed, marking the next chapter of their love story. Now residing in Virginia Beach, they planned their perfect wedding day, bringing their love back to the bride’s Michigan roots.
The bride, originally from East Lansing, shares deep family ties to Detroit. A proud alumna of Hampton University, she’s also a successful small business owner. The groom hails from Greenville, North Carolina, bringing his Southern charm and laid-back energy to their union. Together, they are a dynamic duo, sharing a passion for music, laughter, and creating unforgettable memories.
Setting the Scene: Planterra Conservatory
Choosing Planterra Conservatory, one of the most sought-after Michigan wedding venues, was a no-brainer. Known for its stunning glass ceilings, vibrant flora, and elegant ambiance, it was the perfect backdrop for their vision. With wedding uplighting that cast a soft, romantic glow, the space transformed into a botanical paradise where love truly illuminated every corner.
The Soundtrack of Love
No wedding is complete without the perfect music, and for this high-energy dance party, The Todd Everett Experience curated the ultimate soundtrack. Renowned for catering to a diverse audience and throwing unforgettable celebrations, Todd Everett recommended the dynamic husband-and-wife DJ duo, D&T, to set the tone. As a top Detroit Wedding DJ team, D&T flawlessly blended genres, ensuring every guest found their groove.
The couple’s musical tastes were as eclectic as their love story. The bride’s heart beats for the sultry sounds of Toni Braxton and Joe, while the groom’s playlist is filled with Childish Gambino, trap jazz, and classic 90s rock. The fusion of R&B, hip-hop, and rock created a vibrant energy that had guests on their feet all night long.
One of the night’s most unforgettable moments? The epic Soul Train line during the processional, set to Heavy D & The Boyz’s “Now That We Found Love.” Guests lined up, dancing their way down the aisle, setting the tone for an evening of pure joy and celebration.
Style & Elegance
The couple’s style was a perfect reflection of their personalities. The bride was radiant in a timeless gown that shimmered under the Conservatory lights, while the groom made a bold statement in a custom white suit accented with Valentine’s Day red—a true showstopper.
Their beloved dog, Ramsey, stole the show during the processional, leading the couple down the aisle and melting hearts along the way.
Capturing Every Moment
To preserve every smile, dance move, and tear of joy, the couple enlisted some of the best in the business. Brennan Rieder, a talented photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina, captured breathtaking shots, while Kyra and Dee, the skilled videographer duo, documented the love story in motion.
Guests also had a blast in the Detroit Wedding Photo-Booth, snapping fun, candid shots that served as perfect mementos of the night.
A Night to Remember
The couple’s ultimate goal was to create an evening of love, laughter, and connection—and they succeeded beautifully. With delicious food, top-shelf drinks, and a packed dance floor, guests were fully immersed in the celebration. As the night drew to a close, the couple shared their last dance to L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad”, before heading off to Toronto for their honeymoon adventure.
