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!

The room at the Concorde was elegant and romantic and the night was filled with a TON of traditional Greek desserts, a candy bar, and lots of Greek dancing. We loved being a part of this day, and wish Angela and Peter all the best as they start their journey as newlyweds!

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!
