New Rehearsal Dinner: Lake Michigan

We literally can't even begin to describe how insanely OBSESSED we are with this rehearsal dinner we did in New Buffalo, Michigan over the summer. The tent was placed in the bride's family's backyard, overlooking Lake Michigan. And yes, it was draped with black and white ticking stripe fabric and yes, we had the floors whitewashed.

Catered by Blue Plate, this BBQ feast was a meal of epic proportions. We're not always pro-buffet, but this was by and large the classiest buffet style event we have ever seen. A full pig was roasted by Driers and the tables were set with fresh pickles and homemade BBQ sauce, while the buffet table was full of yummy organic white corn, green beans, pulled pork and delicious grilled fish. Later in the evening, a pie table was set up, complete with every type of pie you can think of--warm blueberry pie, peach, apple, etc... Drooling again at the thought of it all. Even the ice cream to plop on top was amazing!

The photos below are just an overview, as we'll be posting detail shots over the course of the rest of the week. Think of it as a little something to snack on between Thanksgiving meals.
