Wild & Woven: WeddingDay’s Exclusive Grand Rapids Cover Shoot
Allyson Hutchison | February 1, 2025When Brooke Simmons, CEO of Forever and Always Event Planning, planned a wedding at Augusta Creek Venue, she became familiar with its character and charm. Inspired by the rustic and organic vibes that the venue possessed, Brooke dreamed up a realistic yet stunning shoot. “This combination inspired the bohemian-western theme for the styled shoot, which I felt would resonate with the local clientele,” Brooke shares. “Having grown up in the area, I understand the down-to-earth, humble nature of the people here—many of whom are farmers. They aren’t necessarily interested in elaborate champagne towers or ballrooms and black tie elegance. Instead, the brides I envision want a cute, boho vibe with a touch of rustic, western charm.” The result was a delicate balance between western and elegance that Pavé Wedding Productions captured flawlessly!

For our Southwest Michigan cover shoot, Gina of Sugar on the Rim Events wanted to take a different approach to fall weddings. “I wanted to show how fall can be bright and fun just like spring and summer,” she explains. “I wanted to highlight how perfect yellow can be in fall.
