REAL WEDDINGS, REAL TALK
AELO Alumni | Arielle + Juan, 7/13/19
VENUE: IGNITE GLASS STUDIO | PHOTOGRAPHY: MARTA FOR GEORGE STREET PHOTO | CATERING: COCINA FUSION | FLORALS: FLOWERS FOR DREAMS | DJ: DJ ELIANA | RENTALS: CHICAGO VINTAGE WEDDINGS
Arielle and Juan were the sweetest couple! They had a gorgeous, intimate ceremony on the rooftop and you could definitely feel the love they have for each other! Their reception was filled with colorful centerpieces and a glass blowing demo! To top it off, they had a super cute churro bar for dessert! Congratulations to the lovely couple!
AELO Alumni | Amanda + Dustin, 8/17/19
VENUE: IGNITE GLASS STUDIO | PHOTOGRAPHER: JILL TIONGCO PHOTOGRAPHY | CATERER: FOOD FOR THOUGHT | BAND: BLUEWATER KINGS | FLORIST: POLLEN | HAIR + MAKEUP: WE ONLY DO PRETTY | PHOTOBOOTH: FOTIO
What a Party! The threat of rain (which thankfully disappeared!) did not stop Amanda and Dustin from having their perfect day. Their ceremony in the garden was officiated by Amanda's uncle- which made it very special. They served their wedding cake after they cut it to their parents and it was the sweetest! After dinner, they had a glass blowing demo to wow their guests and then the band kept the dance floor partying! Everyone had so much fun at their photobooth in the garden with the colorful glass backdrop. Congratulations Amanda and Dustin!
AELO Alumni | Jeanne + Dan, 6/4/16
VENUE: THE REVIVAL THEATER | CATERING: THE NILE | PHOTOGRAPHER: JPP STUDIOS | PHOTOGBOOTH + DJ: AWESOME DJS | BAKERY: SUGAR LOAF
A comedy club was the perfect setting for this Chicago teacher and Chicago cop to get married. Not only do these two love to make each other laugh, Jeanne, the bride, is a comedian as well. This fun, easy going couple actually knew each other as kids and reconnected later as adults. This wedding had a relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter, dancing, and great food. Congratulations Jeanne and Dan!
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 | Laura + Brad 10/10/15
VENUE: IGNITE GLASS STUDIOS | FLORIST: JULIET TAN FLORAL DESIGN | LIGHTING: CHICAGO SPEAKER RENTAL | CATERING: BLUE PLATE | PHOTOGRAPHY: KRISTIN @ CAGE + AQUARIUM | DJ: TYLER @ CAGE + AQUARIUM
What an incredible couple. Recently transplanted to Ohio, these two psychologists had a beautiful day in October to get married! An emotional ceremony was followed by an awesome glass blowing demonstration, an excellent dinner from Blue Plate, and a hopping dance floor! We had so much fun planning with these two; they're so connected to each other and gorgeous to boot!
Congratulations, Laura + Brad! We wish you all the success and happiness the world has to offer!
