REAL WEDDINGS, REAL TALK
AELO Alumni | Caryn + Joshua, 5/13/23
VENUE: THE TREASURY | PHOTOGRAPHER: HAYLIE MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORIST: LILYPOTS | CAKE: JULIE MICHELLE CAKES | HAIR AND MAKEUP: CLEAR WATERS SALON AND SPA
Caryn and Josh got married on a happy, sunny May day at The Treasury in Delavan, Wisconsin. Not only was their wedding breathtakingly beautiful to behold, thanks to sister-of-the-bride Cassandra's event design, it could also be felt. The love in the room was palpable as they said their vows in front of their family and friends. After a quick room flip, The Treasury was transformed into an elegant dining room where guests enjoyed charcuterie, buffet dinner and a scrumptious cake. The dance floor opened with an unforgettable first dance when Caryn and Josh's daughters joined them for the second half of the song, turning their first dance into a heart melting family dance. Congratulations to Caryn and Josh and their entire family. It was a delight to work with and get to know you all!
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 | Elizabeth + Brian 8/29/15
VENUE: CITY VIEW LOFT | PHOTOGRAPHY: ELENA BAZINI | FLORIST: THE BREAD & BUTTERFLY | VIDEO: DEEP END IMAGERY | CAKE: LOVELY BAKE SHOP | DJ: TOAST & JAM | PHOTOBOOTH: FLASHBOOTH | HAIR: KELLY CARDENAS SALON | MAKEUP: BRIETTE MADRID
It's always a treat to have a bride who knows exactly what she wants and can describe it perfectly - as an interior designer, Elizabeth was thoughtful and amazingly organized when it came to wedding decor. It was so much fun to help bring her and Brian's vision for their wedding day to life, and we were so impressed by their attention to detail - they even had life-size cutouts of their adorable furkids at the head table!
AELO Alumni | Meghan + Rob 8/15/15
CEREMONY: MARY OF VERNON CATHOLIC CHURCH | VENUE: CUNEO MANSION | PHOTOGRAPHY: JANELLE KAPPE PHOTOGRAPHY | VIDEOGRAPHY: AUTUMN TREE FILMS | DJ: TOAST + JAM | CATERER: BAUER'S CATERING | FLORIST: FRED HEROMAN | DECOR: ELEGANT EVENT LIGHTING | HAIR + MAKEUP: KATE JOHNSON ARTISTRY | CAKE: OAK MILL BAKERY
After dating for nearly ten years after they met at Notre Dame, Meghan knew exactly what she wanted her wedding day to look and feel like and it all came to beautiful fruition on August 15th when she and Rob took their vows in a formal Catholic ceremony at Mary of Vernon Church. At the reception, held at the ornate Cuneo Mansion & Gardens, guests were allowed to wander the rooms of the historic mansion during cocktail hour which was followed by dinner and dancing in the grand ballroom that was bathed in candlelight and romantic blush and cream flowers arranged by Fred Heroman, the groom’s uncle.
