Final wedding prep! 1. Hanging your dress and veil allows the wrinkles from being smooshed in a garment bag to come out. Highly recommend doing so a week beforehand so your coordinator is able to get the final details ready and set for getting ready shots.2. 1-2 days prior to the wedding get your nails pampered with your best gals. You’d be surprised how much your hands get photographed within the day showing off that new bling,3. Talk to your planner/coordinator and have everything prepared for the easiest setup on the day of. Alphabetize escort cards, a box for each table, clear labels and diagram of where each item belongs. (This will allow for less interruptions while getting pampered the day of so you can enjoy the day)4. Making all the final payments a few days before your wedding allows you to not have to worry about money the day of.5. If planning to tip your vendors make individual envelopes for your coordinator to hand out or plan to send Venmo’s, cards, or write a review a few days later.

2024 Wedding Trends.Couples have foregone the completely open bar and many are having made the decision to have Signature Drinks, Beer, Wine, & Hard Seltzers. This allows the client to cut down on alcohol costs but allows their guests to fully enjoy the evening with a partial bar.Simplistic tablescapes have made their way into the chat. Many are realizing that although florists are amazing at what they do, an excessive amount of florals isn’t necessarily what they want for their weddings. Simplistic elegance has been the trend for many while splurging on the florals that will be the main focus in pictures years down the road, such as the bouquets and arch pieces that can be repurposed to the sweetheart table.Bows have started to make a come back through bridal fashion as well as the smaller details of aisle markers and invitations.Statement dresses. Within the last two years bridal fashion has transformed into classic gowns with detachable details that allow a bride to create multiple looks with bows, sleeves, detachable over skirts giving unlimited options. The reception dress has also been a more commonality from designers who truly understand the need for style, comfort, and uniqueness during a reception.Small intimate weddings of less than 100 guests and elopements have become a leading category in trends for 2024. Many of my clients have decided having their closest family and friends to celebrate is the most important part of their wedding. These weddings usually entail more detail and customization for an individual guest, a plated meal sometimes prepared by a chef, and a less formal ceremony/reception. #weddingtrend #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #chicagoweddingplanning #chicagoweddingplanner #indianaweddingplanner #indianawedding #engagedchicago #engaged💍 #2024wedding #2024weddingtrends #weddingplanning #chicagowedding #indybride #indywedding #indyweddings #bridalinspiration #bridalinspo
To end the year with the first couple that gave me a chance to plan their full wedding was the best way to end the year. It was such a pleasure to get to know Angie and Henry through this past year. Through calls, emails, late night texts, and brainstorming to make their day everything they wanted was such a realization as to why I love what I do, great people! Congratulations @angiejachniw and Henry!

Jessica & Edgar. 12.16.2023 When a rainy December day doesn’t stop the happiness a wedding brings. The couple wanted a romantic lush garden feel by adorning tables with candles, bud case arrangements, and eucalyptus. The Brix was the perfect place to make the vision come to life. Exposed brick, farm tables, beautiful arches, and a lighting system any dj would love to play with to create the best experience for everyone. Jessica and Edgar thought of every small detail including two photo ops, candle & cigar favors, and some of the best bbq for guests to fully entertain themselves throughout the night. Congratulations Jessica and Edgar, may the next adventure bring you just as much joy as your wedding was!
