✨ That's a WRAP on our Fierce 2024. ✨

2024 was a long, stressful year...but it was also one of the most exciting with some of our biggest events! It was also the most profitable year even with Owner Laura fighting breast cancer, and being a recent mother. 💕

We thank all the amazing couples, clients, and vendors for the incredible year and opportunities. We are very grateful for the amazing Fierce Team that keeps us going.

Looking forward to the exciting events we already have lined up in 2025!

Wishing everyone a restful, and FIERCE holiday. 🎄

To those celebrating today, Merry Christmas to you all! We hope you are having a restful day, and are surrounded by loved ones.

We are grateful for all of you! 💖

A perk of having a wedding planner is you have someone looking out for you the entire day. We have a Fierce Team Member with you from getting ready through end of night.

We assist with set up, wedding party line up, curtain holding, and guest wrangling (and that's truly only a few of the many tasks we perform on the day). We especially make sure we check in with YOU—if you need anything, if you’re feeling alright, and we make sure you’re ready to start the “activities” like the dances, speeches, and dance party.

Making sure you are experiencing your wedding day is our MAIN priority. ✨

We had so much fun with these tablescapes. ✨💙🌺

This couple was not afraid to be bold with their color palette, nor afraid to add some sparkle and neon. The deep blues allowed the gorgeous pinks to pop. Everything was subtly supported by the golds of the cutlery and decorative geometric shapes. The head table had sequin linens, and we reused the ceremony arch as a perfect backdrop for the reception, (just now with a little neon personality).

It was truly a gorgeous blend of the couple’s personalities.

We absolutely loved these tablescapes ❤️

This couple wanted to showcase the Chinese culture through their design, but also wanted to limit their use of florals. We creatively came up with the idea to use origami lotus flowers, floating candles, and 3D printed zodiac animals to decorate the table. It transformed into a gorgeous dining oasis. 🪷

Some tablescape decor from a recent wedding we planned. 💙🌾

Oksana and Zarek had their wedding at the gorgeous Rookery building in Chicago. They wanted a tasteful pop of color that wouldn't compete with the golden colors of the space.

The colors chosen were gold, lapis and powder blue, pops of vermillion, and ivory. Not only were wheat, blue iris, and dried pampas used to keep things organic, but they were also used as a nod to Ukranian folk style.

We love when we get to plan and design birthday parties! This birthday was for a 1 year old, and we didn’t hold back! The theme was Theopalooza—a Lollapalooza themed birthday event. You bet we had tons of colors, ballooons, and sequins. To make this a music festival to remember, we had a variety of children performers and puppets entertain all age groups!
