Happy Anniversary Lauren & Patrick!

This month we get to celebrate the anniversary of such a wonderful couple, Lauren & Patrick. The two exchanged vows on New Years Eve last year in front of friends and family at First United Church of Oak Park.

Continuing this snowy night at Roosevelt University for a fun filled night of dancing and love as this couple rang in the new year with music delivered by Stitely Entertainment.

Thanks to Carasco Photography for capturing the special night celebrating this adorable couple. Here is a look back at Lauren & Patrick’s day.

Happy Anniversary Michelle & John!

Happy One Year Anniversary to Michelle & John!

This couple lived in Philadelphia, but chose Chicago as the location for their wedding.  They exchanged vows at the historic and iconic Rookery Building on November 30th.  The stunning reception immediately followed.  Michelle chose a classic and timeless decor theme, which was inspired by the venue’s classic 1920’s Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.  While guests mingled during the cocktail hour, they enjoyed hors d’oeuvres from Jewell Events Catering; followed by a three course meal for the sit down dinner.

Thanks to John & Joseph Photography for a glimpse into Michelle and John’s perfect day!

Here is a look back at some of the details:

Romantic and gorgeous blush, white and ivory bouquets and by Vale of Enna.

Amy Beck designed the elegant wedding cake, reminiscent of the architecture of the venue.

The crystal candelabra centerpieces added the perfect touch of sophistication and glam while the floral arrangements were soft and romantic.  Just absolutely beautiful!

DJ Chris Mixx kept the dance floor packed all night long as this couple shared their special day with friends and family.

Michelle surprised the guests with this costume change – and we fell in love with her deco-inspired beaded party gown.  It was a stunner!

One of our favorite couples with one of our favorite Rookery weddings!!  Here is to many many more Michelle & John!

Describe a typical- and ideal- weekend when you are not striving to put on a fabulous wedding:  “Drinks with my fabulous team at a fabulous restaurant on Friday night.  Early morning jog or yoga class, then hit the farmer’s market with Bowie and my hubs.  Then we stop for brunch at a dog friendly restaurant patio.  I go to the beach or a friend’s roof pool.  Then come home to get dressed up for a date night or night out with friends.  Sunday starts with breakfast on the balcony, park with the doggie, then ending the day vegging out on the couch with some bad reality tv, online shopping and some wine!”
