One of my favorite posts to share! In 2017 we planned Jessica and Rafe's wedding. Five years later we got to plan Angela (Jessica's sister) and Tony's wedding. We loved working with all the families, but especially the brides' family, the Rumoros. Both ceremonies were at one of the most beautiful churches in the suburbs - St. John the Baptist in Winfield.⁠

On this beautiful April day, I find myself thinking about many of my favorite outdoor ceremonies and receptions over the years! Katie and Nick had an intimate wedding on her family's ranch and our superstar vendor team knocked it out of the park! Every detail was exquisite and their day was perfection!⁠

Part two of Mia and Clay's wedding is absolutely breathtaking! There are so many incredible photos, it's difficult to decide which ones to post! The "Beauty and the Beast" theme was a huge success, with beautiful details throughout the entire day and night. One moment that stood out was when we surprised the newlyweds by having the servers bring out the first course in a parade-like fashion, complete with singing and dancing to "Be Our Guest"! It was such a fantastic and enjoyable celebration for all!⁠

There are so many breathtaking photos to share from Mia and Clay's "Beauty and the Beast" themed wedding! Because of the sheer number of exquisite details, we will be sharing their pics in multiple posts. Mia had a vision from day one and I think it's safe to say that we successfully executed it! Collaborating with an exceptional group of vendors, we were able to create a timeless, sophisticated, and elegant ambiance for this theme. 🌹⁠

Bringing the right vendors on board can turn your vision of a perfect wedding into a reality! Without a doubt, our dream team excelled in achieving this for Alexis and Will! The room unveiling was a tremendous success, with every intricate detail falling into place. It's the little things that make all the difference! 😉⁠

On January 13th of this year, Alyssa and Cole's wedding marked the beginning of our wedding season! Despite the freezing temperatures in Chicago and during one of the coldest weekends of winter, the dancefloor was never empty, and everyone had huge smiles on their faces. It was a day full of joy, beauty, and hopefully the most memorable day for our beloved couple.⁠

Throughout my career, I have obviously attended a considerable number of weddings. However, Elli and Jason's wedding stands out as one of the most enjoyable ones I have experienced. The bride, who happens to be a professional dancer, along with many guests, ensured that the night was filled with captivating entertainment. Elli and Jason astounded the crowd with four distinct dance routines, while Elli herself showcased three different outfits. Click through to see some incredible pictures from this memorable event!⁠

In typical Midwest fashion, Katie and Nick's wedding was met with overcast skies and rain, prompting a sudden change of plans from an outdoor to an indoor setting. Yet, despite the weather, an abundance of joy and contentment radiated from the couple and their loved ones, ensuring that not a single smile left their lips.⁠

The wedding decor at Angela and Tony's wedding was incredibly ethereal! It's impossible to capture the true essence of the room in pictures alone. Every intricate element, ranging from the menu cards and table numbers to the drapery, candles, es**rt cards, and of course, the stunning floral arrangements, everything worked together to transform the room.⁠

It meant so much for Megan and Brandon not to see each other before their wedding ceremony. Because of the logistics of the venue being an all glass pavilion, we rehearsed the day before that Brandon would have his back to the aisle until Megan was at the beginning of it with her father - when the officiant then told Brandon to turn around. The moment was perfect!⁠
⁠
Some couples love doing a first look and some couples don't want to see each other before the ceremony. There are pros and cons for both, but it's ultimately a decision the couple should make and it's their planner's and other vendors' jobs to execute their vision!⁠

If you are not Persian or have never attended a Persian wedding ceremony, you may not be familiar with "Sofreh Aghd". In Farsi the word "sofreh" means 'spread' and "aghd" means 'ceremony'. There are many symbolic items which make up the Sofreh Aghd spread such as a mirror, honey, spices, sugar canes and more.⁠
⁠
We loved working with Elli and Jason on their Sofreh Aghd. Their ceremony was truly exquisite! We have plenty more delightful and one-of-a-kind details to share in future posts, so stay tuned!⁠

From blueprint to reality, we love seeing dreams unfold in another stunning room reveal! Months of dedication, countless emails, calls and meetings, and a whole lot of love have transformed this space into a haven of happiness. There's nothing better than celebrating the magic of planning turned to perfection! (And it's always better when you get to work with amazing clients! Congrats Diana and Spencer!)⁠

Oh how we love a stunning room reveal! Abbie and Erik recently tied the knot at The Drake in downtown Chicago, and they had the perfect team of vendors to make Abbie's childhood dream of a fairytale wedding come true. The entire day was filled with enchantment and wonder.⁠

Kyla and Vicram's wedding was one for the books! With our amazing vendor team, we built their venue from the ground up. We celebrated with a traditional American ceremony followed by a second ceremony with Indian traditions. Even though the weather was iffy, we prepared for that and the day couldn't have been more perfect!⁠

Scroll through the pictures to see why Lauren and Tyler were so ecstatic with how beautiful their reception was! Lauren had her vision and Tyler had his vision, and we came in as a vendor team and blended them perfectly together. 💗⁠

The reaction every wedding planner wants when their clients enter the room! And I'm sure the reaction every happy bride and groom want to have when they see their vision brought to life!⁠⁠⁠⁠

September 2020 we celebrated Katie and Nick's intimate wedding celebration. One year later, September of 2021, we got to throw the party! Both on her grandparents' gorgeous ranch!⁠

How can you beat this backdrop? Obviously Kelly and Adam are a stunner couple! But when we celebrated their wedding in August, nature was happy to provide all we needed. One of the reasons I love working at Hyatt Lodge!⁠⁠⁠⁠

In July we loved helping Judy throw her brother a wedding reception following their intimate ceremony earlier in the month. The arch, lanterns and floral arrangements were so vibrant and a gorgeous backdrop for their Chinese tea ceremony.⁠⁠⁠⁠

I can't even remember the last time I posted on social media! I have a lot of catching up to do! We have been so busy planning and executing weddings, it's literally sleep or post on IG! I thought I'd start with a few sneak peaks from our wedding this past Saturday...
