Alyssa + Mikey - Romantic, Vampey, Opulent Autumn Wedding

Getting to work in my home town of Geneva, Illinois was enough of a stroke of luck, but meeting Alyssa, Mikey, Alyssa’s mom Stacy, and planning their incredible wedding was a true dream. Stacy lives next door to my mother in law, which is how we were connected in the beginning, but after meeting them for the first time, I knew they were my kind of people. The deep and decadent vision they had for Alyssa and Mikey’s day drew me in within a minute, and we spent the next year dreaming up every little detail together. As high school sweethearts - who were together for 10 years before they wed - Alyssa + Mikey knew each other, and themselves, better than anyone, and it showed in all the beautiful moments of their day.

The all start vendor team created another world at The Herrington Inn, one that we wanted to celebrate this sweet couple in forever! The Fox River provided the perfect backdrop for dripping florals, Victorian flair, and gilded moments that specked this sparkling evening. Designing the day alongside everyone was incredible, and I owe a special thanks to our Katie Fortney for coordinating the day perfectly while I started my maternity leave with my baby boy born only 3 weeks before. A team effort all around, and a stunning result.

Cheer’s to you, A+M! Your day was so special, and so are the two of you. Xo - Noelle

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!

- Katie, Kirsten & Olivia
