Kelly + Anthony: Stunning, Classic, Fabulous Early Summer Wedding

Kelly + Anthony’s wedding was one for the books - truly every moment was considered and it was chock full of thoughtful details which were truly an honor to bring to life. Some highlights were: Kelly’s gown that had three lives over the course of the evening, late night McDonald’s (a must for the Carnagios!), surprise baby pictures during parent dances, and a custom seating chart made from the couple’s favorite records.  The couple also used the same florist her parents used 30 years ago. Read on for even more sweet moments.  It was such a meaningful wedding that celebrated family, tradition, and music and it’s one I won’t soon forget!  What a joy to work with you, Kelly + Anthony (and Joanne!!).  Can’t believe it’s been over a year since this gorgeous day. Many more wonderful years to come!

Megan + Sam - Joyful, Colorful, Quintessential Summer Wedding

Megan and Sam met through mutual friends a few years ago and it was an instant connection. They both are kind, easy going and FUN, and that was exactly what their wedding represented. They had a big wedding party and a big wedding, and you could feel the immense love for them in the room. They were one of the easiest couples to celebrate and I am so glad I was able to be a part of their special day!

Alex + Blaise: Timeless, Lush, and Dashing Chicago Wedding 

There’s something special about planning a wedding for people who are already part of your history and life. Blaise’s parents introduced my parents to each other at Glasscotts Bar in the 80’s, so really without them I wouldn’t have been here, planning his and Alex’s incredible wedding at all! Funny how life always brings us back together - like a million little invisible strings throughout our daily lives. This was also the case with Alex + Blaise. Neighbors in Lincoln Park during Covid, it was a pickup softball game that introduced them to each other (and spoiler, where they would share their first look as bride + groom) and they have been together ever since. 

Alex + Blaise’s wedding was so unique, so FUN, to plan. Their flair for finding the best vibes possible, their attention to detail, and love of great food and drinks was the perfect combo that created their incredible wedding day that featured so many amazing vendors that came in internationally and locally to build the fabulous, classic, Chicago-centric experience that their guests were enveloped in from the moment they received their invitations in the mail. Who wouldn’t want to spend a Saturday in the city, playing poker, eating italian, and dancing the night away under a Tiffany glass dome? Truly iconic. 

Cheers to you, Mr. + Mrs. Davis! For richer, for poorer, and all the fun moments in between - I hope they’re all perfect as your day was.
