MAXIMALIST COLOR EXPLOSION DISCO GARDEN PARTY? YES PLEASE

The bubble gun exit was just the beginning! For A&J’s August wedding we turned up the volume and the color wheel and with the help of some amazing vendors, we transformed a lush private garden into a vibrant, eclectic, yet elegant and FUN oasis. We loved bringing together many of clients’ personal heirlooms (like a quilt that served as our rustic chuppah covering held in place by family members), feathers to represent those no longer with us, customized art, and so many more hidden details that made the night one to remember!

CLASSIC ELEGANT CHICAGO WEDDING AT THE LANGHAM CHICAGO

K&L’s classic, elegant Langham Chicago wedding was centered around their friends and family descending upon the city for a weekend of celebration. Guest experience was very important so an iconic hotel where high end hospitality is an art form was an obvious choice. Guests dined in style, danced into the night along with Beatmix Chicago, and the event was captured by Carasco Photo, and was planned and designed by our team.
