Sarah and Ryan are one of those couples that when you meet them you know it is going to be a good time. When I first met Sarah, she explained that her and Ryan's romance was comparable to that of a Harry met Sally whirlwind type of love.

They met many years back in Chicago's comedy scene doing stand-up comedy together. They went on one date and ended up going their separate ways. Since they both were heavily involved in the comedy scene, they had many mutual friends and saw each other from time to time.

Fast forward to February 2021 when they were hanging out with a mutual friend who strategically decided to give them some alone time. They immediately hit it off, got engaged 7 months later, bought a condo, and tied the knot on a beautiful October day in 2022. With such a supportive and fun-loving community, these two will have a lifetime of love and laughter to come!

I started working with Joely + Nick in the summer of 2021, and from the beginning, they knew that they wanted a classic Chicago wedding that also catered to the needs of their guests. We landed on the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel (https://www.chicagoathletichotel.com/), a historic venue situated right on Michigan Avenue, across the street from Chicago’s famous Millenium Park. Guests stayed at the hotel, walked just a few steps to their rehearsal dinner, and enjoyed the evening’s festivities on the hotel’s 8th floor. We designed a classic color palette that was modern but still timeless, capturing the theme of their wedding day. Oh, and the stationery! Nicole from Emery Ann Design (https://emeryanndesign.com/) pulled inspiration straight from the venue for a seamless design experience. 

On a personal note, I felt right at home with these two (and Joely’s amazing mom and planning partner, Crystal!), and it was an absolute joy to be part of their planning and wedding day. They lit up the night with their happiness and every detail was just perfect.  So, so happy for Mr. & Mrs. Boskovich!
