Hitched: Jen & Aaron’s Trump Wedding, Part 2

November 21st, 2011

In case you missed Part 1 of Jen & Aaron’s Trump Towers Wedding and their amazing video trailer!

This is one of the few weddings where the Father of the Bride actually thanked me and our team in his welcome speech! It was absolutely hysterical, and much appreciated ;)

The stunning ballrooms of the Trump Chicago, as well as the amazing views…

Jen was overjoyed as she stepped into the ballroom for the first time…

Notice how they incorporated the skyline into their lighting AND their stationery!

Thanks, Jen & Aaron, for letting us be a part of your joy-filled day!

Engaged: Anne & Rick

September 21st, 2011

Wheeeeee! Happy hump day!

I just got the link to Anne & Rick’s engagement session with J Wiley Photography, and I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots with you before sending you over to Jen’s blog (which has many more gorgeous pics!) Not to mention, I’m having so much fun working with Anne and Rick for their April 2012 wedding at the Rookery!

OMG, talk about magical sunlight!!

They ended their date with a stop at the Golden Nugget… could they get any cuter?!

Wedding Stylist & Bridal Valet Services

April 25th, 2011

I recently met Libby Salerno, a fabulous stylist who has found the perfect niche in the wedding industry. Brides, let me tell you… you need to meet Libby too! What exactly does a wedding “stylist” do? Well, first of all, she will work with you to help you figure out your wedding day look from head to toe… wedding gown, veil, accessories, shoes, your whole ensemble. Oh, and what about your Bridal Party and your GROOM? She can help you make sure everyone is perfectly styled and coordinated for your wedding day.

But where I think Libby is truly invaluable, is her Wedding Day Service… what I like to think of as a “Bridal Valet” service. On your wedding day, you don’t want to think or worry about ANYTHING. So why not have a professional stylist on-site to help you get ready? Libby will be there to steam your dress (and your bridesmaids dresses!), hang and organize things, lay out your accessories, help you get into your dress, button the hundred little buttons and most importantly, be at the ready for any style/dress emergency with her sewing kit. She can also help your Groom and his Groomsmen with shining shoes, tying ties and bowties, and folding pocket squares.

If this sounds like something straight out of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, don’t worry! Libby’s Day-of services are unbelievably reasonable … and completely worth it.

I’m SUPER excited to announce that moving forward, any Bride-to-Be who books the Sweetchic Full Planning package will receive Wedding Day-of services from Libby for up to three hours! Please contact me directly for more details!
