indie wed bridal show at ravenswood event center

What the hell is this Indie Wed thing you keep talking about?  From the horse’s mouth: “Indie Wed is THE alternative to the traditional bridal expo.  For those in the midst of wedding planning, Indie Wed offers a one stop shop for all the best wedding artisans and professionals from the Midwest and beyond. Not only is our focus on promoting and supporting small, independent (indie) businesses, but also couples with an independent spirit.”

marie claire feature: DIY handmade house party ideas

hello lovelies.  are you out there?  well if you are please go pick up a copy of Marie Claire Magazine and check out the article I wrote for them!  It’s in the “Entertaining” section and called “Shake Up Your Next House Party.”  My editor (that will never get old) wanted some fun twists on winter parties you can throw at home: Superbowl, Oscars, Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day.  I just might celebrate this accomplishment by throwing one of these little shindigs.  You should too!  C’est bon!

downtown chicago wedding at the blackstone hotel

Beth + Eric’s wedding at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago was the quintessential Chicago wedding.  It was through Beth + Eric that I met these lovebirds and was lucky enough to work at the Blackstone twice this year!  Beth and Eric are both super busy lawyers and were planning their wedding from Washington DC.  They both envisioned something clean, elegant, classy with maybe just a little hint of preppy.  The architecture at the Blackstone is no joke and was the perfect backdrop to their white, navy and pop of pink party. Eric’s sister designed the wedding stationery, Beth’s mom scoured the town for flip-flops, ribbons and containers for months and Eric’s mom baked more cookies that I have ever seen in my entire life for their hospitality suite. It was a constant show of support for this couple and a constant parade of so many handy talents!chicago wedding planner READ MORE

intimate, dinner party wedding at public chicago

Eric + Mike were married at Public Chicago in Chicago in October.  Full disclosure: Eric and Mike live in Omaha and own an amazing hair salon there.  Eric has been my hair stylist since I was 15 years old.  He loves to tell the story of me running into the salon after a soccer game with a towel twisting up my still wet hair an hour before the Homecoming dance.  So obviously this man can work miracles.  Which obviously this means I love him.

When they told me they were getting married in Chicago I insisted I would coordinate, mostly because I wanted to attend.  I regret nothing.  They flew 20 of their closest family and friends to Chicago and spent the weekend enjoying their company before getting hitched on Sunday.  It was an exquisite event to say the least.  Take a peek. chicago wedding blog
