Sweet, whip-smart, and adorable, these two lawyers had an absolutely gorgeous day to get married! The Ivy Room was the perfect setting for these beautiful people, and we gathered an incredible team of vendors to make their dream day happen (if we do say so ourselves)! Planning with them for over a year was a blast, and we loved seeing it come to fruition so beautifully. And once again, Ingrid Bonne worked her magic and captured every moment perfectly. Congratulations, Sara + Jason! We adore you and wish you all the best!

The love these two had for each other was beyond evident! The view from the 66th floor was a great backdrop for a night filled with love, fun, and laughter.  Everyone danced the night away, and we were so happy to be able to team up with all of their vendors to make their day amazing! Congratulations, Caitlin + David!

AELO Alumni | Elizabeth + Brian 8/29/15

It's always a treat to have a bride who knows exactly what she wants and can describe it perfectly - as an interior designer, Elizabeth was thoughtful and amazingly organized when it came to wedding decor. It was so much fun to help bring her and Brian's vision for their wedding day to life, and we were so impressed by their attention to detail - they even had life-size cutouts of their adorable furkids at the head table!
