Moody Summer Vibes: WeddingDay’s Exclusive Detroit Cover Shoot
Kaitlyn Smale | October 13, 2026Perched above the city with sweeping views of the downtown skyline, our spring/summer Detroit cover shoot challenged the idea that summer weddings must revolve around bright, pastel palettes. Designed by Haley of Haley Makay Events, the editorial embraced a rich color story of burgundy, purples, dusty mauve and rose mauve, proving that deeper hues can feel just as fitting for a summer celebration. Haley was inspired by a desire to give couples a fresh perspective to warm-weather nuptials, fittingly dubbing the concept, "I hate pink but I'm having a summer wedding". "Lately I've been noticing if brides don't like summer colors, they feel they cannot get married in the summer, and I wanted to change that!" she shares. Bringing the vision to life came with its own creative challenge, particularly when it came to sourcing seasonal blooms in darker tones. "We wanted to find a way to do dark colors in florals because what grows in the summer is bright," Haley explains. By weaving in shades of purple to bridge the feeling of both summer and winter, the result was a sophisticated rooftop editorial that reimagined seasonal wedding style in an unexpected and inspiring way!

How to Plan a Destination Elopement: 10 Essential Steps for a Stress-Free Wedding
