What an incredible evening. We had so much fun with the down-to-earth, hilarious, gorgeous Kate + Ted! They are so in love, and they fit together perfectly. Kate was so on top of everything, and we had a wonderful time executing her ideas. These two have so much fun together, and it showed on every minute of their wedding day. This is what a wedding is all about -- a celebration of two fantastic people surrounded by love.

AELO Alumni | Louise + Chas, 4/14/18

VENUE: GARFIELD PARK CONSERVATORY | PHOTOGRAPHY: SHANTI KNIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY | CATERER: FOOD FOR THOUGHT | DJ: STYLE MATTERS | FLORIST: FIELD AND FLORIST, ARRANGED BY AELO 

Louise and Chas are the sweetest couple; they recently moved to Boston together and returned to Chicago to exchange wedding vows and celebrate with their family and friends. Held at the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory, the wedding was set with a stunning horticultural hot house as the backdrop and included a wonderful singer, piano player and string quartet. Guests meandered through the various conservatory rooms while savoring cocktails and hors d’ouevres then dined under the vaulted ceilings of Horticulture Hall, enjoyed wedding cake handmade by the mother of the groom, then danced the night away. It was stunning way for this wonderful couple to begin their married lives together. We wish them all the happiness in the world!

Amanda and Jordan's big day was one for the books! These two college sweethearts had the most gorgeous celebration of their love.  Amanda planned everything perfectly and made sure to accent the already gorgeous Chicago Cultural Center with touches of gold.  Everything from the gorgeous drapery and lighting to the amazing desserts was right out of a fairy tale.  You could just feel the love these two had for each other. It was evident in the excitement on their faces and the way they looked into each others eyes. After dinner, Amanda and Jordan danced the night away with loved ones under the immaculate Tiffany glass ceiling. The night ended with the guests serenading the bride on her 30th birthday! Congratulations Amanda and Jordan!
