What a PERFECT way to end the 2024 season! Toni and Scott are two of the sweetest people we’ve ever had the pleasure to work with, and we were floored by how well they’d planned their day! It was a party from start to finish, cocktails before the ceremony, the funniest Maid of Honor toast, and a packed dance floor. These two just wanted to be married and dance the night away with their closest friends and family and that is exactly what we did.

What a gorgeous evening. Congratulations, you two! We adore you!

What an incredible evening! Talk about a couple made for each other. Jamie and Jim were full of joy on their wedding day and we were so honored to be a part of it. From the adorable ring bearer in his tiny Bentley, to the rocking dance floor, these two were all smiles all day. We are so lucky to be able to be a part of so many celebrations, and it’s days like these that make it truly special. J+J are the sweetest people in the world and deserve every happiness and glittery gown that life has to offer.

Congratulations, cuties! We adore you!

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!

What an unbelieveable day. For a year and half, we planned with Ann, the mother of the bride, and Aviva and Mitch to create the perfect day for these two, and it went beautifully. The hanging baskets Flowers for Dreams dreamed up were incredible. Aviva walked down the aisle to “Defying Gravity”. The first dance was entirely choreographed to “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and at the ened of the night, Aviva and Mitch put on Hawaiian shirts with each of their faces on. So cute, so SO much fun, and so deeply in love. It was an unending joy getting to know this wonderful group of people, and we know they are going to have the best life together.

Mazel tov, Aviva + Mitch!
