Story Time: Meet Rev. David Brown and his sweet wife Lorene - two of my dearest friends in the wedding business.

I started So Chic 14 years ago this month and then, because of the time between bookings and planning and then the wedding rolling around, my first official So Chic wedding was 13 years ago this month. Rev. Brown officiated it which is how we met and we’ve been friends ever since. I refer him to any couple I get a chance to because I know he’ll put such love and care into their wedding ceremony and do it with such joy in his heart. He officiated yesterday’s So Chic wedding (that I can’t wait to share with you!) and as always it was a day filled with love and joy.

Lorene knows I love how I can always count on her chic dress and hat combo at every wedding so she always wears a new hat and sits in the back row until I spot her and from there the day is filled with chatting and laughter and the most kindness from two of the sweetest souls you’d ever encounter.

The last 18 months of being an event planner during a pandemic when your whole job is bringing large groups of people together for milestone events has admittedly been a heartbreaking, exhausting and anxiety inducing chapter of my career. Some days I am just so weary and tired. But getting to do events for amazing people with amazing people sure helps to re-energize and re-inspire me.

Here’s part of the blessing that Rev. Brown always does and it brings me a smile every darn time - I can even recite it in my sleep and hear it in his sweet voice. I hope it brings a smile to you as well. ❤️

A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it
A song's not a song 'til you sing it
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't love 'til you give it away!

At a loss for words over the perfection of yesterday celebrating Ryleigh and Justin’s amazing wedding day! It was full of style, charm and sweetness. Can hardly wait to see the magic Meredith Washburn Photography captured because it’ll no doubt be one hundred times what I quickly grabbed throughout the day. It truly was such a joy filled day - enjoy a !

This year marks 14 years of So Chic. 14 years of planning beautiful events, carefully choosing every detail, fluffing the bride's train before they head down the aisle, reminding them to breathe before that big important walk, pinning boutonnieres onto grooms, rolling around a big emergency kit ready for anything the day throws at me and being the one my couples or families turn to when they need something, anything, on their incredibly important day. It's a privilege I haven't and will never take lightly. The biggest thank you a couple or family could ever, ever give me is simply telling others about me and my small business. It keeps the business going but it also connects me with even more amazing people I get the privilege of serving.

Imagine my delight when one of last month's magical weddings not only included my amazing bride and groom but 3 other past So Chic couples too! You know I had to grab them all for a pic. The extra bonus? One of the past brides pictured has now worked for me for three years and another one starts working for me in just two weeks and the other two have remained dear, dear friends and customers of mine in So Chic Boutique. I'd say I don't have words to describe what they each mean to me but I think we all know that I usually find plenty of words.

This year marks twenty years since I first entered the wedding business - first renting tuxedos and then selling wedding dresses to pay my way through college. Then I started planning bridal shows, started an event planning business, then started a bridal magazine - needless to say weddings have a pretty special place in my heart and every couple in my years, over 350 of them, will forever be a piece of me.

Grateful for the opportunity and always grateful for amazing vendor friends like Heather McCormick Photography who captures the most special moments! This industry, while tough at moments, is truly, truly special.

We love a big shindig as much as the next person but we have LOVED these intimate weddings we’ve gotten to create over the last year. They may be small in size but they’re filled with big love. ❤️

I’m admittedly awful at posting around here but that’s because our crew stays plenty busy just keeping up with our clients and making sure we give our events everything they deserve. Pulled off a beautiful one this last Friday with an amazing vendor team and an even more amazing couple! I’ll try to get my act together and post more around here but, when we’re not posting, just know we’re designing and planning and creating all the magic our clients deserve. ✨

I realize we’ve become a bit quiet here but it’s with good reason - it’s because we’ve been so busy working away on our 2021 event season! We kicked it off a month ago and are pretty much in full swing from here on out with just a few breaks in between!

This weekend is a wedding and Bradley University’s Commencement. They called just about 8 weeks ago having made the decision to host in person graduation and brought me in to help on the logistics side. We hit the ground running to ensure we could safely host an event of this magnitude and celebrate these amazing graduates! Between tomorrow and Sunday, 7 different ceremonies will be hosted to celebrate 2020 graduates who never got their chance to be honored as well as the 2021 graduates.

Not only was I honored that Bradley entrusted me to be a part of such a milestone event, I’m incredibly proud of the way they have invested in their students and families to safely host an in person graduation for them to be able to celebrate such an amazing accomplishment.

As a two time Bradley alum and adjunct faculty member for the last fifteen years (cue feeling very old), it made me so proud to step back today and see what we’ve accomplished and know the memories that are soon to be made by these graduates and their families.

It’s been a whirlwind but it’s been worth every layout, site visit, rental order review, virtual meeting, and hours and hours of work.

Let’s get these students graduated!

Huge, huge shout out to Peoria Rentals for amazing ex*****on of a HUGE set up while also being mindful of our spacing and measuring and all of the things. They truly, truly outdid themselves on this one and I was proud to watch it come together!

It's been six months since we did a wedding......quite the winter's nap! But tomorrow we kick off our 2021 season and it couldn't be with a sweeter couple! It's Round #2 for Kalah and Brody! We did a sweet backyard wedding for eleven guests last September and tomorrow they get to say 'I do' all over again but this time surrounded by loads of amazing friends and family!

Let's get back in the wedding groove, shall we!?!
