REAL WEDDINGS, REAL TALK
AELO Alumni | Kate + Stephen 10/24/15
VENUE: IGNITE GLASS STUDIOS | PHOTOGRAPHY: DANIELLE AQUILINE | DJ: WINDY CITY MIX | CAKE: BITTERSWEET | LIGHTING: ELEGANT EVENT LIGHTING
Love The Big Bang Theory? This one is for you. Kate and Stephen are both brilliant Chemical Engineers who met in college, fell in love, and got married in an awesome science-inspired wedding. From their out-of-the box venue, Ignite Glass Studio, to their centerpieces set in beakers, test tubes and urban meyer flasks, to the coolest lego card box we've ever seen, Kate and Stephen's happily ever after began with a colorful bang. We had a wonderful time planning with them, and wish them all the best! Congratulations, you two!
AELO Alumni | Neha + Matt 7/25/15
VENUE: ARISTA HOTEL | RENTALS: COVERED AFFAIRS | DECOR: PRESTIGE WEDDING DECORATION | DJ: DJ AUMIR | BHAARAT HORSE: MAHARAJA FARMS | DRUMMER: KIM HAYER | CATERER: THE INDIAN HARVEST | PHOTOGRAPHY: RUTHIE HAUGE
This Indian and Jewish fusion wedding was incredible! The ceremony had both Indian and Jewish elements, which made for a beautiful union. This super cute couple had a blast from the Baraat to the very last dance! Neha's vision and ridiculously organized decor boxes made our job incredibly easy, and she walked in to a conch shell sounding! What a cool, adorable couple, and a wonderful day. Congratulations, Neha and Matt! We hope you have an incredible life together!
AELO Alumni | Lauren + Brian 9/5/15
VENUE: CITY VIEW LOFT | CATERING: LM RESTAURANT | PHOTOGRAPHY: CHRISTOPHER FOLTZ | FLORIST: OH MY! FLORAL | BAND: MAGGIE SPEAKS | CEREMONY MUSIC: PARKWEST STRINGS | HAIR & MAKEUP: REBELLIOUS BEAUTY SALON | SWEETS & CAKE: DINKEL'S BAKERY
We absolutely loved working with Lauren and Brian! A laid back couple who knew exactly what they wanted, they had an gorgeous wedding day in September. We loved planning with them from day one, and with the awesome vendors, had a great time coordinating their day. Lauren was stunning, Brian was handsome, and their guests danced the night away to the awesome sounds of Maggie Speaks. Such a fun time.
Congratulations, you guys! We're so happy for you!
AELO Alumni | Katie + Brian 5/30/15
VENUE: QUADRANGLE CLUB | PHOTOGRAPHY: SEAN MOLIN | DJ: KEVIN HSIA | FLORALS: CARRIAGE FLOWERS
Finding a librarian's wedding venue was so much fun! The Quad Club was teh perfect setting for these two lovebirds. They are so in love, and their ceremony reflected that so well. The reading from a children's book about penguin's was perfect, and we loved their huge atlas as a guest book! We loved everything about this wedding, even though it rained all day! The rain didn't put a damper on these two cuties. It was just perfect. Congratulations, you two!
