Love The Big Bang Theory? This one is for you. Kate and Stephen are both brilliant Chemical Engineers who met in college, fell in love, and got married in an awesome science-inspired wedding. From their out-of-the box venue, Ignite Glass Studio, to their centerpieces set in beakers, test tubes and urban meyer flasks, to the coolest lego card box we've ever seen, Kate and Stephen's happily ever after began with a colorful bang. We had a wonderful time planning with them, and wish them all the best! Congratulations, you two!

AELO Alumni | Kristin + Bobby 10/3/15

VENUE: HILTON ORRINGTON | PHOTOGRAPHY: RICK AGUILAR STUDIOS, CLARE BRITT | DJ: TOAST & JAM | FLORALS: FLEURS DE LISA | DECOR AND LIGHTING: ATMOSPHERE EVENTS GROUP | CAKE: BITTERSWEET | HAIR: STUDIO 34 | MAKEUP: FAUX GLAUX 

For a couple whose relationship started over grilled cheese at Cheesie's, their wedding was everything but!

Kristin + Bobby said their I do's at the Hilton Orrington in downtown Evanston on October 3rd. Outside, the blustery wind brought the first cold day of Fall, but inside hearts were aglow with warmth and love as the adorable bride wed her dapper groom inside a candlelit, red rose petaled ballroom. 

Guests were invited to enjoy cocktails and reception, also held at the hotel, immediately following the beautiful ceremony. The mother of the bride gave a touching speech, while the co-maids of honor and best man all rocked their toasts. Even after indulging in a gourmet dinner, guests still packed the dance floor the entire night, stopping only to partake in the sweets table and late night soft pretzel buffet complete with nacho cheese and mustards. In all it was a "nice little" wedding day for a lovely couple; we wish Kristin+Bobby all the best!
