And the bride wore… PRINT!
I love a bold bride – someone who REALLY wants to do something different. Well, that is exactly what we got when we met Becky and Brendan who tied the knot in an informal ceremony on August 28, 2010! From her gorgeous print gown to the cocktail style reception for their 125 guests at the Old Oak Tap in their Ukie Village neighborhood – this bride broke all the rules with her hip style. This just goes to show that a non-traditional event can flow beautifully, and that guests will have a great time celebrating no matter what the format as long as it is well thought out and creative.

LOLA at Architectural Artifacts
When an event planner named Lori gets married at Architectural Artifacts on November 6, 2010, what does she do? Why, hire another event planner named Lori to help her pull things together for her big day! And what an event it was… From the gorgeous eclectic tables featuring textured linens, flowers and containers, to the branchy dance floor lighting and the custom print goods that were right on trend for 2011. However, I think my favorite part of the evening may have been the Father/Daughter dance. It brought me back to my “head banging” days with a little GNR “Sweet Child of Mine.” How fun is that? Congratulations Lori & Ross Dimun!

LOLA at Cafe Brauer
Congratulations to Jen and Steve – married September 4, 2010. The vision for their wedding came from part of their romantic engagement. After Steve popped the question he surprised Jen with a trip to Paris… Thus making France an obvious source of inspiration for their big day. Just as you would find in a Parisian café, the reception menu was scrawled on an oversized chalkboard as the guests entered Café Brauer. We brought in a piece of the French countryside with whimsical topiaries and lush gardeny floral arrangements, using smilax vine as accents throughout the space. Jen used old family photos as table numbers to give the entire look a vintage and very personal feel – and I am in love with her vintage cake topper! Thanks to Christopher and Allure for these fantastic shots!
