festival wedding at thalia hall

|||||||||||||||||||||||||

Lorna + Matt’s festival wedding at Thalia Hall was a delight of cool and casual music festival vibes which is right on brand for these two. From Lorna’s short dress and Matt’s casual suit, they set the tone with concert tickets, wristbands, and earplugs that greeted each guest. The focus was completely on the music […]

six wedding party gift ideas

|

One of the best parts of a wedding day is having your loved ones all in one place. While our community gathers around us to celebrate we like to get our nearest and dearest a little treat to say thanks. Here are six wedding party gift ideas that are some of the best we’ve seen:

Whimsical and Wild Wedding

Lauren + Brad’s Thalia Hall wedding was really something to behold. Whimsical and wild, we went down the rabbit hole but stayed incredibly chic the entire time. We love a client who gets excited when we pitch real mushrooms growing out of the centerpieces and really goes for it, patterned linens, custom table numbers and […]

70’s Inspired Extravaganza

Rachel + Bob’s Salvage One wedding was alight with color and shine. Taking from the disco era, everything about this wedding was pure fun. From Rachel’s jumpsuit, to the disco ball table numbers and escort cards, to the rainbow florals that made such a statement in an already eclectic venue, this is proof that more […]

Vacation Inspired Wedding

Michael + Zac sent us one photo from their San Miguel Allende vacation as inspiration for their wedding look. We created the color palette to compliment The Joinery’s look with the boldest, brightest colors (in abundance!) to nod to Zac’s Mexican heritage and their favorite vacation spot!

Neon Disco Wedding

Sophia + Ryan’s neon, disco ball shindig at Tied House was sensational. Bright neon green napkins, paired with maximalist and colorful floral set the tone for a party that screamed FUN from the jump. Their amazingly choreographed first dance, the handmade signage, and disco balls big and small made the vibe luxurious and fun. Exactly […]

Modern Rooftop

Diri + Mike hosted their nearest and dearest at Loft Lucia in the West Loop. With a stunning rooftop ceremony (no decor needed when Chicago is your backdrop). In designing and planning with them we honed in on moody sunset colors to play off the sunset during their ceremony and to compliment the modern loft […]

Colorful Restaurant Wedding

Rhianna + Lem’s Italian villa vibe wedding was as cool as they come. Bright, citrusy lemons paired with bold bright flowers to complement the eclectic stylings of Beatnik on the River. A riverside ceremony, bourbon tasting, colorful candy bar and dancing all night including a set by the groom himself made this night like no […]

Bold + Bright Spring Wedding

Alyssa + Conor’s wedding was a bold and bright springtime soiree at The Arbory! We loved designing and planning this incredible maximalist day. We used boldly patterned floral linens, and mixed and matched runners, napkins, and in-your-face florals. The thoughtful details we incorporated made this party so “them” and guests were delighted at every turn. […]

It’s summer time and we are ready to put on our best sneaks (or birks) and take some neighborhood strolls. Welcome to part one of our series where we share our favorite haunts in Chicago’s neighborhoods. We are calling it, “planner’s day off”. First up, Bucktown!
