This Indian and Jewish fusion wedding was incredible! The ceremony had both Indian and Jewish elements, which made for a beautiful union. This super cute couple had a blast from the Baraat to the very last dance! Neha's vision and ridiculously organized decor boxes made our job incredibly easy, and she walked in to a conch shell sounding! What a cool, adorable couple, and a wonderful day. Congratulations, Neha and Matt! We hope you have an incredible life together!

Sweet. Hilarious. Adorable. So in love. It doesn't get any better than clients like Tammy and Joe. Their down-to-earth, book-themed wedding was so much fun to coordinate, and that first look photo will never get old! We loved their short'n'sweet ceremony that celebrated the two of them, and the decoupaged vases were simple and perfect. Their wedding party was called their "Matrimony Homies" instead of bridesmaids and groomsmen, which we loved! 

And did we mention that Tammy walked down the aisle to her friend and bridesmaid Stephanie playing "Forever" by Jesse and the Rippers on piano? What else can we even say? Awesome wedding, awesome people, and we wish them all the best!

Planning with these two unbelievably brilliant, and unbelievably beautiful, people was a joy. We love when a couple knows exactly what they want! Their detailed vision came to life on a gorgeous summer day on the Northwestern campus, and just look at those radiant smiles. A sweet, touching ceremony followed by songs and toasts from their friends and family, followed by dancing and laughter made this a wonderful day. 

We wish this truly striking, special couple a lifetime of success and happiness together.
