Hello Champagne! brides.

Now that I am (mostly) retired, I am getting questions for referrals to other event planners. Somewhat surprisingly, I really don't know who's out there. Any recommendations?

Cheers to recenr Champagne! bride Elizabeth and her new husband Blake.

Champagne!INC was lured out of retirement. What a privilege to help this impressive couple, Elizabeth and Blake on such an important day. Sometimes you just get that "star crossed lovers" vibe. Cheers to you Elizabeth and Blake! May your 50th wedding anniversary be just as beautiful a day.

Lol... retiring is harder than I thought! Just can't let it go. Check out these whimsical dresses from Dillards, a favorite southern shopping spot.

Bob Marley on love…

‘She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together – but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.’

Cheers! from the Champagne! team.

How perfect. Champagne!inc will be helping with a wedding on Sweetest Day, coming up, this Saturday, Oct. 16:

Letter from Johnny Cash to June Carter (1994)

‘We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each others’ minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met.’

Intimate Backyard Wedding | Glen Ellyn, IL| Laura + Kyle - megadamik.com

So much to celebrate this week-end at Laura and Kyle's wedding. Photographer Meg Adamik beautifully captured it all. Our Champagne! team especially loved - the intimate gathering of 40 (which was followed the next day by a picnic for 90), the BOOTS! ... a good omen that kept the rain at bay, the bouquet with memories sewn in, the music, the ceremonial signing of the license, the closeness of family and, most of all, the pure, sweet love these two have for each other. Cheers to Kyle and Laura!

Laura spent 18 years of her life looking out her kitchen window at her backyard in Glen Ellyn, in a home that surrounded her with love. So when it was time for her to commit to Kyle for a lifetime, she wanted it to be in a place that was surrounded by love as well, …

Artistrie Co. captured so many beautiful moments for Steve and Alyssa's wedding day. Cheers!

Photographing Alyssa and Steven’s wedding day was absolutely a highlight of my summer. What’s not to love about these two!? I recently sent their album design off to the printer and I can’t wait to see this stunner of a wedding come to life in print. Stay tuned !

On a beautiful, beautiful June day, Alyssa and Steve said “I Do” in the gardens of Galleria Marchetti. It was a magical celebration made complete by the strum of a guitar, happy tears, beautiful sunshine, and even butterflies. Alyssa’s bridesmaids looked gorgeous in their long, dusty blue gowns. The groomsmen donned navy suits, my all time favorite. This soft color palette mixed with Life in Bloom’s beautiful flowers was picture perfect for the outdoor setting.

I could gush on and on about this day, but I’ll let the photos do the talking. Alyssa and Steve, it was an honor working with you! Enjoy these memories for a lifetime.
