modern chicago wedding at chez chicago
Heather + David were married in May 2014 at Chez Chicago. They really rallied when they lost their original venue just a few weeks before their wedding. All of us vendors kind of tried to jump in and help them find a new space and it was weird how it worked out — Heather kept […]
indie wed 2014 at ravenswood event center
The only wedding show we ever participate in rolled around last winter and we (per usual) stayed up all night putting the finishing touches on our booth. Indie Wed at the Ravenswood Event Center is one of our favorite times of the year because we get to see so many of our very favorite vendors […]
best thing we saw today: pressed bouquet flowers
Lucy had a brilliant idea to preserve her wedding bouquet flowers in a gorgeous, modern way. After her wedding she disassembled the bouquet, pressed the flowers (along with one her husband picked on their honeymoon!) and placed them between glass frames. This is such a beautiful reminder of her beautiful day – and one I […]
a behind the scenes look
Elizabeth stopped by Siobhan + Nate’s wedding for a behind the scenes look just as Laura finished putting the final touches on their papel picado banners and clusters of flowers in milk glass vases. Rain moved the ceremony indoors at the last minute, but the happy decorations kept things bright and cheerful!
destination wedding at st. john ultimate villas
Katie + Ryan were married in March 2014 at St. John Ultimate Villas. They belong in a magazine, no? (Don’t worry I’m working on that.) Katie, Ryan and about 50 of their friends and families hopped a plane in the middle of the Polar Vortex and then caught the ferry to St. John. Twist my […]

We toured the event spaces […]
chicago loft wedding at prairie production
Dannalynn + Pablo’s winter wedding at Prairie Production was everything a Chicago loft wedding should be. I absolutely love these two and have been so lucky to get to see them a ton post-wedding day. They went for a chic and glamorous wedding and they knocked it out of the park.
meet sabrina, our amazing intern!
A little heartbroken over here these days. Our beloved #Sabrintern packed up her downtown abode and headed back to Ohio for her senior year of college. It physically pained me to write that, how absolutely amazing does that sound? One more senior year for me would be a dream come true. I went all “it […]

Julia here, taking over the blog to wish Chicago’s best wedding planner, Anticipation Events, a very happy five year anniversary! Five years ago, my wedding was one of Elizabeth’s first with Anticipation Events. She was caught in several photos, always with a big smile on her face. (Despite my being “one of the craftiest brides […]
tented destination wedding in iowa
Britta + Ty were married in September 2013 at a private residence in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Some family friends live on a gorgeous piece of property that seems otherworldly, like you stepped into a magazine. With Britta’s great style (she owns Faithful Roots) a gorgeous setting and a wild and crazy bridal party, this was […]
