COLLEEN, KELSEY + NORMAN, TOO!
It was the most perfect day in May for this most beautiful Bride.
She is adored by handsome Kelsey and Norman, too. GOOD NEWS -> She’s as beautiful inside as she is out! [Aaaand things are as they should be!]
I am so happy and grateful to have gotten to work with her + Kelsey. I loved her vision and it was so fun to bring it to life. Wishing you ‘nothing but blue skies’, Kiss Kiss, Kelly
PRINCESS in PINK!
Jillian folded 1,000 paper cranes for her and Mark’s ceremony at Anderson Japanese Gardens and reception at Prairie Street Brewing Company. In spite of the forecast, the sun pushed through. There wasn’t a dry eye as we witnessed their vows and it will be hard to top their Shadow Box entrance. But my favorite was their First Dance as they sang along with Donna Lewis to each other 🎶 I love you, always, forever, near or far, always together…🎶.

PRINCESS in PINK!
In celebration of this 3rd Anniversary and this TALE as OLD as TIME....
Jillian folded 1000 paper cranes for she and Mark's ceremony at Anderson Japanese Gardens and reception at Prairie Street Brewing in Rockford, Illinois. In spite of the forecast, the sun pushed through. There wasn't a dry eye as we witnessed their vows. It will be tough to top their Shadow Box entrance, but my favorite was their first dance as they sang along with Donna Lewis to each other... 'I love you, always forever, near or far, always together...' Mark + Jillian are downtown Chicagoans. They love make the world go 'round for their pups, Nara and Tsunami, who were the inspiration for their Cocktail Hour Signature Drinks and their Bamboo PAWTY favors. Keep an eye out for the hidden rose from Beauty in the Beast for this LOVE Story's Tale As Old As Time.

Lee, not Chris, wanted a fairly tale wedding.
Thus we got to work granting that wish...
and it came to be...
Once upon a time Chris + Lee said their 'I Dos' at Aldeen Golf Club with the backdrop of the pines. Then they hosted their guests for dinner and dancing at the charming Illinois Bank and Trust Pavilion. They vowed and kissed, then toasted and danced.
Lee and Chris said it was the BEST DAY EVER.
AND they lived happily ever after.

Ruth + Stu’s 40th! A black tie-evening gown affair celebration with their nearest and dearest. Complete with Stu’s parents crystal champagne engraved flutes 🥂 from their 40th Anniversary celebration, cocktail napkins from their own wedding reception [40 years ago!] at the Rockford Womens Club [where they celebrated 40 years ago!]. Their beautiful girls 😇😇 gave them the most beautiful tribute and then Ruth shared the story of their First Dance [40 years ago!] which didn’t quite go as planned. They had taken lessons and were ready but the band’s version of their song, Anne Murray’s 🎶Can I Have This Dance For The Rest Of My Life🎶 was not quite the same as the radio version. So, 40 years later Stu agreed to take lessons with Ruth again for a re-do. In front of their guests Ruth asked Stu to join her for another First Dance for the rest of their lives. It was splendid and ended with a dip! So grateful to get to be a part and help to mark this most important moment in their lives. NOTE: watch for 👀 their impromptu reenactment of annual road trip to their favorite family vacation spot as they drove across the bridge to 🎶Celine Dion’s, River Deep Mountain High. 🎶
