What an absolutely beautiful day! The weather was perfect for Molly + Jeremy’s wedding on the roof of the East Bank Club! A sweet ceremony was performed by their friend Santi who navigated the noisy boats handedly — the risks of having an outdoor ceremony in Chicago are totally worth it. Molly + Jeremy are incredibly sweet together, one of those couples completely in tune. We loved coordinating their day, meeting their families, and getting to know them. They danced the night away to some fabulous tunes, too!

Congratulations, Molly + Jeremy!

All the little details really made it their own, right down to the cocktail napkins! Even despite a little rain, they had high spirits and dance dance DANCED the night away.

Congratulations, you two, hope Asia was absolutely amazing!

AELO Alumni | Morgan + Andrew, 6/29/19

VENUE: MOTOR ROW BREWING | FLORIST: PHILLIPS FLOWERS | PHOTOGRAPHER: MELODY JOY CO. | MAKEUP: CRYSTAL-EYEZ MAKEUP AND BEAUTY LOUNGE | CATERING: SMOKE DADDY | PIE: BANG BANG PIE AND BISCUITS | DJ: LEEROY LANES | DRUMLINE: CHICAGO BULLS STAMPEDE

FUN.  That is the word that best describes Morgan and Drew's big day. When I found out that their wedding was going to be at a brewery, I knew we were going to have a fun time! Motor Row Brewing closed the whole place down for these two regulars, and even offered tours of the brewery to guests.  Morgan and Drew also made sure to include their close family and friends in their special day. During the ceremony, Drew's sister sang a beautiful song while Morgan walked down the aisle. Their officiant was a very close friend of Morgan's and provided a very intimate ceremony.  Morgan and Drew surprised their guests with a drum line to start off the dancing! These two newlyweds even got in on the action and had a drumming duel.  That got their guests fired up to dance the night away! What a special day filled with dancing, laughing and of course, love.

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!

VENUE: SALVAGE ONE | PHOTOGRAPHER: SOPHIE CAZOTTES | CATERING: HEARTY BOYS | DJ: CAGE + AQUARIUM | FLORIST: FLOWERS FOR DREAMS | BRIDE HAIR: KASSI BLEIFUSS | MAKEUP: JESSICA JENNINGS

What a night. What a couple. What a damn good time. Rush + Allison are two of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet, and we absolutely loved coordinating their day. Allison was an incredibly organized bride and had the coolest ideas for her tablescapes — we loved executing them! The ceremony was so heartfelt and sweet, the parents gave toasts that brought the room to tears, and the dance floor was jumping all night. Through it all, Rush + Allison looked at each other with stars in their eyes. What a perfect night.

Congratulations, ya beauties. Hope Bali was amazing!
