Hearing from past clients is a true blessing!

As a wedding planner in Chicago, we have a lot of days that are full of crazy requests, challenging situations, and fun meetings like tastings and decor samples…  It isn’t a bad gig!  But when I opened my email this morning to this wonderful note from Tonia Rumrill Nelson who is celebrating her 2 year anniversary today (5/17/09 A New Leaf)…  I felt truly blessed!  These moments are the true reward of our profession and what make our job wonderful. We are so happy to hear from you!

Lori,
Two years later and we still can’t thank you enough.  Your help with our wedding on May 17, 2009 was beyond either of our expectations.  Not only did it allow us to enjoy the day but our mothers as well.  Things went so well we ended up welcoming our daughter Maya Snow Nelson into the world just a little over a year later.  We seriously can’t thank you enough not only for what you did but the various vendors: Pia, Michael Monar, Limelight, etc.  We hope all is well with you and that this upcoming year is a very successful one for Lola.

University Club of Chicago Brunch Wedding with LOLA

Posted by on May 8, 2011 in Color, Decor, Details, Formal Events | 0 comments

LOLA loves a brunch wedding – and Mother Nature was smiling on April 30th as Andrew and Laura walked down the aisle at Holy Name Cathedral for their 11am ceremony.  Following the ceremony, guests gathered for a lively brunch reception in Cathedral Hall at the University Club of Chicago where the English garden inspired decor was perfect for the Spring season.  Bouquets and centerpieces loaded with Peony, Lilac, Ranuculous and other garden flowers spilled from urns that trailed ivy were created by LOLA.  Each napkin was accented with fresh Lavender – the bride’s favorite. Later in the evening, guests gathered at Luxbar for dancing and dessert and partied late into the evening – an entire day of wedding fun! Thanks to Michael Monar for these fantastic shots!
