What an incredible couple. Recently transplanted to Ohio, these two psychologists had a beautiful day in October to get married! An emotional ceremony was followed by an awesome glass blowing demonstration, an excellent dinner from Blue Plate, and a hopping dance floor! We had so much fun planning with these two; they're so connected to each other and gorgeous to boot!

Congratulations, Laura + Brad! We wish you all the success and happiness the world has to offer!

AELO Alumni | Alicia + Brandt 8/22/15

VENUE: GERMANIA PLACE | CHURCH: ST. JAMES CHAPEL | PHOTOGRAPHER: KATIE KETT | FLOWERS: FLEUR DU JOUR | CAKE: VANILLE PATISSERIE | DJ: TOAST & JAM | HAIR: CHICAGO AVENUE SALON | MAKEUP: JASON PIKE

AELO met Alicia through the American Cancer Society, when we all came together to work on the Black and White Ball, so we were thrilled when she asked us to coordinate her wedding! The theme was "Old Chicago" and it didn't disappoint. The beauty of the old St. James Chapel set the tone.  The dark tones of the stained glass windows and the melodic tones from choir, which was comprised of close friends of the bride, helped add to the feel.  The theme continued at the historical and magnificent Germania place. Alicia and Brandt were gloriously in love, and we were so proud to be a part of her day!
