Lizzie and Travis. We have no words. These two are ridiculously sweet, funny, adorable, and it was just an absolute joy to plan with them for a year! We loved their families and their friends, and had the best time making their day come to life. From picking out FIG's vintage plates, to selecting the music choices, and bringing all the elements from Architectural Artifacts into their decor, we had a fabulous time creating their dream day. Lizzie wore the dress her mom and grandmother did, and then changed into an awesome blue dress for the reception. We love that! And how about that little Pierre?? Cutest pup award!

Lizzie and Travis, we wish you all the best in the world. Congratulations, newlyweds!

Gina and Paul had a beautiful day in a beautiful setting! Our favorite thing about Ignite is using the glass pieces for the unity ceremony -- they then take those for the glass blowing demonstration, and the couple gets to keep the piece as a reminder of their joyful day! The whole day was relaxed, focused on joining the two families, and all about having fun! Congratulations, Gina and Paul! We're so glad we were a part of your day!

The darling Luna and Nick had an unbelievably gorgeous day at Garfield Park Conservatory! After a whirlwind wedding month in China, their American ceremony was low key, filled with love, and everyone had a blast dancing the night away! Our favorite moment was their choreographed first dance. It was absolutely gorgeous, and we loved being a part of each special moment. Congratulations, you two!
