city wedding at old st. pat’s church

Traci and Luke’s city wedding at Old St. Pat’s Church and The Tasting Room was definitely a party!  Check out some eye candy from the day and of the handsome newlyweds!

Well we’ve been busy ’round here.  Check out Whitney & John’s wedding invites that have been sent to their guests.  We hear the RSVP’s are pouring in – no one would dare miss this shindig!

We letterpressed the entire suite which included the invitation, accommodations information and RSVP card and envelope.  I think you might be able to guess what the inspiration for the invite was. We mounted the invite on silver card stock and then mounted the whole thing to a dark grey pocketfold.

Their colors are navy, spring green and a hint of pink (just a hint, John).  So we pulled each one in for one of the pieces to add some serious fun to this classy day.

& Whitney & John (& also Duke!) lived happily ever after.  If she’s nice to me, I might let her borrow that ampersand for the big day.  And if YOU’RE nice to me, I’ll show you the bachelorette party and bridal shower invitations I made for her.

city chic wedding at the james hotel

Amy and Eugene’s wedding at The James Hotel in Chicago in July was in a word…legendary.

wedding event styling

The beautiful bride Amy, wanted an extra pair of hands with her rehearsal and ceremony as well. The on-site coordinator at The James handled the reception, but Amy wanted to make sure the rehearsal wasn’t painful for anyone and that there was someone to oversee the ceremony. When you have a secular ceremony and a judge or friend/family member preforms it, they are not always willing to or have experience with coordinating getting guests seated, cuing musicians, getting the bridal party lined up and down the aisle, etc. and it’s definitely not something the bride should be doing on her own!wedding event styling

The James Hotel has some great places for pictures. Amy and Eugene, in the library, with the…bridal bouquet?wedding event styling

The James did a fantastic job of flipping the space while guests enjoyed cocktail hour.
