AELO Alumni | Kate + Mike, 6/28/19

CEREMONY: ST. MIKE’S OLD TOWN | RECEPTION: RIVER ROAST | PHOTOGRAPHER: RYAN MOORE PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORALS: TWIGS + BLOOMS | HAIR: SHARI THACKER | MAKE UP: ANGELA MICHELLE | DJ: DJ CHICAGO

What a stunning day we had with Kate + Mike! A little bit of rain in the morning gave way to sunshine, and these two said their vows in the beautiful St. Mike’s of Old Town. Then it was off to a night of the sweetest toasts and dancing, right on the river. Kate’ mom was instrumental to this day going beautifully and we were delighted to execute her vision. Kate + Mike were so in love, and we know they’re going to have a long and beautiful life together!

Congratulations, cuties!

What's better than planning a wedding with a wonderful family? Planning the post-wedding birthday brunch for the FOB! After the incredible night Lizzie + Travis had, The Guesthouse Hotel was so accommodating and the perfect setting to ring in Sam Lovelady's 60th year. Gussied provided the music, and Ingrid captured the beautiful morning perfectly! We loved being a part of this wonderful family's weekend!

On a beautifully clear day in October of 2012, Nicole and Adam said their vows. The ceremony included sweet stories from their relationship, and their 100 guests partied into the night while admiring the city lights. We loved this one!

AELO Alumni | Gina + Paul 7/3/15

VENUE: IGNITE GLASS STUDIOS | CATERING: LA CUISINE | DECOR: ART OF IMAGINATION | PHOTOGRAPHY: FANDL PHOTOGRAPHY | DJ: OKYNE MEDIA LAB | FLORALS: FLOWER POWER CHICAGO

Gina and Paul had a beautiful day in a beautiful setting! Our favorite thing about Ignite is using the glass pieces for the unity ceremony -- they then take those for the glass blowing demonstration, and the couple gets to keep the piece as a reminder of their joyful day! The whole day was relaxed, focused on joining the two families, and all about having fun! Congratulations, Gina and Paul! We're so glad we were a part of your day!
