Cat + Tim: Joyful and Bright Chicago Summer Wedding

Cat + Tim’s July wedding was so, so dreamy. The couple and the mother of the groom dove deeeeep into designing a bright, colorful event that was still formal and chic as heck. There was a joyful energy in the air all day, even as it poured rain in the morning and forced changes to their first look and wedding party photos. By the time they arrived at St. Clement to wed, the sun peeked out, and we were able to host their cocktail hour outside on the Chicago History Museum’s gorgeous terrace. Cat + Tim have been together since high school, so it truly was a special day full of fun, laughter, and tender moments.

Cheers, you two! Xo Olivia

Becca + Greg: Fun, Sweet, Thoughtful Chicago Wedding

Becca + Greg were married on a bright Autumn’s day at the stunning Bridgeport Art Center, in the Skyline Loft! B+G are truly the sweetest couple and each meeting felt like we were catching up with old friends. We immediately knew their day was going to be so special and full of fun! This was an especially unique planning process as it involved almost the entire OFW team! They began the planning process with Kirsten + Katie and Olivia then stepped in, on wedding day, to coordinate and insure all planning details were fulfilled to a T.

We are beyond honored that we were able to be a part of such a momentous day for these two — and getting to see them enjoy their day along with all of their loved ones surrounding them was a true delight. All those smiles throughout the day are exactly why we do what we do — and man, is it worth it!

We hope the last few months have been filled with as much love and joy as your wedding day! Cheer to new adventures, Becca + Greg!

Lisa + Eli: Lush, Autumnal, and Touching Late Fall Chicago Wedding

They say it’s good luck when it rains on your wedding day. For Lisa + Eli, they didn’t need any more luck, they had already found each other, the rain was just a bonus for their incredible, cozy, and truly stunning day last November. Dreaming up the many details of their wedding alongside them was a privilege. They have impeccable style, and not to mention, they are wildly fun, kind, and chic - the kind of couple you see out to dinner at a great restaurant who look like they’re having the best time ever, and you really want to be friends with them. They’re THAT cool, and boy did their wedding show off all those sides of them.

Lisa’s love of florals and Eli’s expertise in lighting design, paired with Brian Kempen from Life in Bloom’s incredible eye made for the perfect storm of design passion that built the day. Captured by the always amazing Emily Williams, and sealed with an ECBG kiss of cake, it was a dream through and through.

Cheer’s to you, Lisa + Eli! Happy One Year Anniversary, and I hope marriage has been nothing but a fun dance in the rain for you both 🖤
