AELO Alumni | Audrey + Neil, 3/19/16

Congratulations to the lovely Audrey & Neil! They had an intimate and heartfelt wedding at the DANK German Cultural Center. Beautiful dinnerware from Vintage Place Settings, zillions of mercury glass votive holders and the soft blush, cream and gold color scheme paired beautifully with the charming and ornate Skyline Lounge. It was a beautiful day and we wish this adorable couple a lifetime of happiness!

AELO Alumni | Lauren + Justin 12/5/15

These two absolutely wonderful people got married on a gorgeous day in December! It was a beautiful, sunny day as they said their vows at St. Michael's, and cozy and warm inside the Newberry Library for the reception. We had a blast coordinating with these two! Warm, funny, kind, super-smart, and EXCELLENT dancers, Lauren + Justin make a beautiful pair. Congratulations, you two! Thank you for letting us be a part of such a fun, magical day!

AELO Alumni | Amy + Sean 9/19/15

Okay, so yes, we had the gorgeous dress, the amazing florals from Erin at A Stem Above, the luckiest weather, that gorgeous rooftop, the incredible band. But what really made Amy and Sean's wedding so absolutely hands-down fantastic was Amy and Sean themselves. Down-to-earth, hilarious, and so in love, these two are just an awesome couple. Their ceremony was so unbelievably sweet and they had a blast chatting and dancing the night away with their equally-awesome guests.

Could we gush some more?? Yes we could, but let's let the photos from Z+V speak for themselves! Congratulations, you two beautiful people!
