From Weddings and Beyond!

We love catching up with our past brides, so Aaryn was thrilled to get to help design a baby shower for one of our brides turned mommy-to-be! Check out the photos and remember to contact us if you have any questions regarding our Special Event Design and Planning packages!

This bride loves tea, so the shower was held at a coffee house. Since she won't be finding out the sex of the baby, we kept it gender neutral in browns and greens. The favors were clear boxes filled with tea bags, tag reading "Baby is brewing!". Favors and Diaper Cake made by Alred Wedding Consultants, Cake by Dierbergs, Invites by Pear Tree Greetings.

Julie and Matt

Have you ever met a couple and just think "they are in love". Well, Julie and Matt are them! Julie came to us with the idea of getting married in December but didn't want an overly "Christmas" wedding. After having them fill out our questionnaire, we came up with a theme for her of polka dots. We kept the holiday season in mind and incorporated reds but with gold and browns so that her guests didn't think holiday when they walked in. The tall vases were filled with cranberries topped with red roses and carnations (the most under appreciated flower ever!). The linens from BBj were perfect and served as our inspiration. We took the linen to our stationer, M Haley Design, and she made invitations, programs and place setting cards with the same design. We really enjoyed working with Julie and Matt and hope they are enjoying the cold Chicago weather!
