Michigan, with its rich history, stunning natural landscapes, and iconic cities, offers a treasure trove of inspiration for a unique wedding theme. Whether you’re drawn to the rustic charm of the Upper Peninsula, the elegance of the Great Lakes, or the industrial grit of Detroit, there’s a wealth of ideas to bring a Michigan-themed decor to your special day at the Iroquois Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Great Lakes Elegance:

Embrace the beauty of Michigan's Great Lakes by incorporating water elements into your decor. Use a color palette of blues, greens, and sandy beiges. Centerpieces with elements like driftwood, beach glass, and stones can evoke the serene beauty of lakeside shores. Table names could be inspired by the Great Lakes, Michigan rivers, and local lakes (they’re all over metro Detroit!).

Automotive Accents for Motor City Vibe:

Pay homage to Detroit’s automotive legacy by integrating subtle car-related elements. Think vintage car models for table numbers, gear-shaped invitations, or a getaway in a classic Michigan-made car.

Cherry Blossom Touches:

While Washington D.C. may be the most famous destination for cherry blossoms, Michigan also offers a chance to see these spectacular floral trees. For a spring wedding, draw inspiration from Traverse City’s cherry blossoms. Use cherry blossom branches in your floral arrangements and soft pink and white hues in your decor to mimic the delicate beauty of these flowers.

Rustic Upper Peninsula Charm:

If you’re drawn to Michigan's natural beauty, opt for a rustic theme with elements like pine cones, birch bark, and wildflowers. The Iroquois Club’s interior complements this theme, enhanced by warm, earthy tones and natural wood textures.

Mackinac Island Vintage:

Channel the timeless charm of Mackinac Island with Victorian-inspired decor. Lace details, pastel colors, and horse-drawn carriages can recreate the island’s historic elegance right here in Bloomfield Hills. Vintage bicycles and fudge favors are a nod to island staples.

Detroit Music Motif:

Celebrate Michigan's rich music history, especially Detroit’s Motown legacy, in your wedding theme. Record-shaped invitations, a Motown-inspired playlist, and famous Michigan artists instead of table numbers can add a lively and personal touch.

Fall Colors Palette:

Michigan’s fall foliage provides a stunning color palette. Incorporate reds, oranges, and yellows in your floral arrangements and table settings. Use leaves, acorns, and branches for natural, autumnal touches.

Fishing and Hunting Elements:

For outdoor enthusiasts, integrate fishing or hunting motifs subtly into your decor. This could include using fishing flies in boutonnieres, antler motifs in centerpieces, or camouflage accents. The Iroquois Club’s dramatic stone fireplace adds rustic elegance to the theme.

Culinary Highlights:

Michigan is known for certain foods. Incorporate these into your menu or favors, such as cherries, apples, cider mill donuts, Coney Dogs or locally produced wine and beer. A custom cocktail using any Michigan-made spirit is a unique addition, too.

Your Michigan-themed wedding decor can be as diverse and dynamic as the state itself. By blending elements that speak to Michigan's rich culture and natural beauty, your wedding can become a heartfelt tribute to the Great Lakes State.
