So you got engaged over the holidays and have no idea how to begin planning? Today, we’re turning the reigns over to our amazing intern Tara to help you get started. Tara worked with us this fall and saw everything from intimate backyard weddings to six-course extravaganzas. She learned a thing or two about weddings and she has some wedding planning advice for the newly engaged:
Meg + Kevin’s vintage wedding dream was a reality at Ovation Chicago. Effortlessly cool is the best way to describe the two of them and their vibe for the day. Even though a TON of work went into this one, in the end, the event just felt effortless in the best possible way.
Lindsey + Jeff’s vintage Chicago wedding at Thalia Hall came together beautifully. It’s hard to believe they got married in January – in Chicago – when you look at their pictures. They look so relaxed and happy, you would think they were hanging out in a tropical paradise. But no, they braved the cold and had such a cool wedding at Thalia Hall, one of our all time fave venues!
When we met Ranna + Jerry, we knew this wedding wasn’t going to be boring. Ranna had a very clear vision and she was true to that it with every detail. She just knew she needed Team AE to help her tie it together seamlessly. From the perfectly selected flowers (with a touch of wildness to them) to the handpicked chargers (gold for the king tables and ivory for everyone else), we loved working with Ranna + Jerry to plan their perfect day.
Usually, January is a slow month for us, but man! It may have been cold in Chicago, but it was a hotbed of activity at Anticipation Events! We rounded out the month with Sarah + Elliott’s timeless, yet vintage wedding that we just couldn’t love any more.
