Kristin + Dave: St. Anne Catholic Church, The Westin Chicago Northwest

She never stopped smiling! Most brides are happy on their wedding day, but this was different. She was the happiest I have ever seen her. Kristin is a long time friend of mine and it was my absolute pleasure to see her find Dave. Kristin is someone who would do anything and everything for you. She is always putting others before herself and it was so awesome to see Dave and her be celebrated for the whole weekend!! She so very much deserved this magical day!! Dave and Kristin gathered family and friends for an amazing ceremony at St. Anne Catholic Church in Barrington, which is our hometown, and continued the celebration at The Westin in Itasca. This wedding was full of love, laughter, great speeches, delicious food, gorgeous flowers, lots of candy and tons of dancing!  It was such an honor helping to brand Kristin and Dave's wedding day with my stationery.

This branding experience consisted of the whole package! Save the dates, wedding invitations, table numbers, escort signs, the menu, programs, welcome hotel tags, thank you cards, and the lighting crew even used the "H" I designed, from their wedding invitation, in lights shinning in the tent all night! It was so awesome! Everything went together and branded their special wedding day. 

Thank you Kristin and Dave for trusting me with your vision and letting me be part of your wedding day! To many many many more!!!

Cass + Mike: Bluemont Vineyard Virginia Wedding

Cass and Mike (Diddy) joined forces at The Bluemont Vineyards in Virginia. This venue had views for miles and miles, but that didn't compare to the stunning bride. Cass had it all going on! She looked amazing!!!

I loved the dusty rose/purple colors of the bridesmaids dresses with an accent of deep purple for the maid of honor. What a perfect color combo for a vineyard wedding!!! There were touches of burlap and lace throughout the decor and it came together so perfectly. All the right pieces came together to make a really remarkable day for Cass and Mike. 

These two have so many fun adventures to go on together and I couldn't be happier for them.

Congratulations! You two are so perfect for one another.

Tara + Glenn: Orchard Ridge Farm Wedding

"I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you."

Tara and Glenn experienced loved at first site when they met a little over three years ago. They had an immediate connection that they just couldn't quite explain. Together they love exploring new restaurants, coffee shops and keeping busy with friends and family. I am so excited for you to share in the unforgettable moments of their special wedding day!

They got married at the same venue my husband and I got married! I loved seeing the space transformed differently to fit Tara and Glenn! Everything was so beautiful and everything went as planned thanks to a trusty and amazing wedding planner, Taneel. 

Congrats Tara and Glenn!! What a beautiful celebration of love!

Amber + Jason: W Chicago City Center

Check out this glamorous wedding at The W Chicago City Center!

Amber and Jason knew they wanted a Chicago wedding from the beginning. Amber was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and Jason was born just a little ways away in Madison, Wisconsin. They met and grew their relationship while living and exploring Chicago, so what better place to have their wedding than the iconic W Hotel.  

I have known Amber since Kindergarten and it was an absolute joy to work with her creating and designing the save the dates and wedding invitations for her special day. Her vision was strong. Amber knew what she wanted all the way down to the little details.  She nailed it! Everything came together perfectly! It truly was a magical night for Amber and Jason filled with pink and white flowers, floating candles, gold accents, dim lighting, happy tears, good friends, great family, tons of laughing, drinks and lots of dancing. 

Congratulations Amber and Jason!!!!
