The love these two had for each other was beyond evident! The view from the 66th floor was a great backdrop for a night filled with love, fun, and laughter.  Everyone danced the night away, and we were so happy to be able to team up with all of their vendors to make their day amazing! Congratulations, Caitlin + David!

It's always a treat to have a bride who knows exactly what she wants and can describe it perfectly - as an interior designer, Elizabeth was thoughtful and amazingly organized when it came to wedding decor. It was so much fun to help bring her and Brian's vision for their wedding day to life, and we were so impressed by their attention to detail - they even had life-size cutouts of their adorable furkids at the head table!

After dating for nearly ten years after they met at Notre Dame, Meghan knew exactly what she wanted her wedding day to look and feel like and it all came to beautiful fruition on August 15th when she and Rob took their vows in a formal Catholic ceremony at Mary of Vernon Church.  At the reception, held at the ornate Cuneo Mansion & Gardens, guests were allowed to wander the rooms of the historic mansion during cocktail hour which was followed by dinner and dancing in the grand ballroom that was bathed in candlelight and romantic blush and cream flowers arranged by Fred Heroman, the groom’s uncle.

Sweet couple, delightful family, adorable puppy, awesome bridal party, adorable and professional flower girl and ring bearer, talented vendors - Steph and Justin's day was a wedding planner's absolute dream come true! After a gorgeous ceremony at Assumption Catholic Church, the wedding party spent the afternoon dodging the rain clouds while the School of the Art Institute Ballroom was decked out with gold and white accents. It was a stunning beginning to a beautiful marriage! Thank you for inviting AELO to share in your wedding day.

We absolutely adored Irene and Chris chic, elegant wedding at Chez! Not only do they look like models, but they are incredibly sweet and fun to boot. We had such a good time coordinating their wedding, especially getting creative and drawing their chalkboard signs! The sweet ceremony was followed by a delicious dinner from Jewell and Stephanie Rogers rocked the night away. They ended the evening with one more dance, just the two of them, and an awesome sparkler exit. So much fun!

Irene + Chris, we wish you the best the world has to offer! Good luck in your new adventures!
