LOLA wedding at the Chicago History Museum
The Chicago History Museum was the venue for Laura and Elliott’s beautiful summer wedding ceremony and reception this past weekend. The choices they made for colors and decor were PERFECTION in the room. Simple, elegant, timeless! They made great efforts to ensure the ceremony decor would be equally lovely inside and out in case of bad weather, so when we moved festivities indoors because of the heat and humidity – they were still THRILLED with the look and feel of everything. Flip flops for the female guests, 5 different flavors of cakes on vintage cake plates and the cutest little cake topper complete with glasses to match the groom and taupe sash to match the bride added personal touches to the decor!
LOLA Wedding at Gallery 1028
Congrats to Jackie and Derrick that had their ceremony and reception at Gallery 1028 on May 21, 2011! I LOVE the bride’s ballgown skirt and simple styling – totally classic and chic. The decor featured brilliant bouquets of spring blooms that included bright pink peonies and lilac. A moss covered escort card table and carafs of water that doubled as table numbers finished the decor perfectly. Thanks to Dean Thorsen for the photos!
One of the LOLA Pro’s Ties the Knot!
Well, what can we say? We love Kristy and we love everything about Kristy’s wedding! Her dress was gorgeous, she picked one of our favorite wedding venues – Salvage One, we rocked out all night with DJ Chris, Steve Koo’s pictures are amazing, and Limelight did a spectacular job with the menu! The flowers were also not too shabby although I am partial since they are a LOLA creation. This is what a bride should look like on her wedding day – smiling, laughing, and totally in love (and of course stress free because of her amazing wedding planners). We love you Kristy and Goetch! Happy Holidays everyone!
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!
LOLA at the Elysian Hotel
New Chicago wedding venues don’t come along every day… When the Elysian Hotel was under construction, LOLA got one of the first hard hat tours, and we’ve been anxiously awaiting the wedding we booked there ever since! Congratulations to Beth and David Golanty that tied the knot on August 15, 2010 in front of 90 of their close friends and family. The Elysian – with it’s Coco Chanel inspired decor was the perfect backdrop for a bride with a background in interior design! Much of the event design was inspired by the hotel design itself – the custom stationery goods and fun cake design… Personal touches like a record album guest book alternative showcased the bride and groom’s shared passion for music. Thanks to Allure for these photos!
