Holidays lights are up all over the city, and I lo

Holidays lights are up all over the city, and I love it. Twinkling and sparkling, it adds a little something special to some tough days...It is an instant mood boost, and makes for some fabulous photos too. Photos during the holidays are some of my most favorite!! Speaking of favorites, this photo in particular is definitely that. Laughter is probably one of the things I remember most about working with these two, and I love how beautiful this capture is of their love and their gorgeous smiles. My clients truly are so awesome, we are so very lucky. ❤️✨Photo: @collinpierson

Just walking down memory lane this week, sharing some of my most favorite winter brides and weddings. This is truly one of my favorite times of the year for weddings, and I am very much missing those this year. However, I am focused and so looking forward to bringing our current client’s weddings to life in the coming year. They are all such awesome people, and I can’t wait to celebrate their wedding days with them. For now though, a little patience, and a fab little jaunt down memory lane, with a nod to some wonderful clients who helped me to build such a wonderful company from a little dream of mine. That’s a pretty amazing thing. Just like this @viktorandrolfmariage gown. 🤩 Photo: @annkamphoto // Floral: @revel_decor // Gown: @viktorandrolf @markingrambride // Veil: @ultimatebridechicago // Dresser: @theweddingdresser // Makeup: @deannaballauer // Hair: @alexbrownhair // Entertainment: @kenarlenevolutionorchestra // Location: @universityclubofchicago // Styling & Planning: the MDE team✨✨

Details details. 🤩. I admit, for me details are

Details details. 🤩. I admit, for me details are sort of my obsession. Or my addiction, depending on how you look at it. There is just nothing better than a collection of tiny, seemingly oh so small pieces adding layer, texture, style and of course - even more meaning to a celebration. Our job is to make sure that all the senses feast, and that all the beautiful memories stay within our client’s hearts. It is both a challenge and a joy every time we begin a journey with a client. And the details are always the most obsessive part for me. What grabs me and won’t let go. Like for example, that one perfectly opened rose in the small white vase. Those petals 🤩 That color 😍 and how perfectly it accompanies that gorgeous larger arrangement. Add a dash of those colored tapers and a splash of teal for flavor and oh. my. details. galore. 🥰
This is why I love what I do, and who I am lucky enough to collaborate with. Floral: @keshevents // Photo: @collinpierson // Location: @gene_georgetti

Hello, gorgeous libations on a silver platter complete with wintry inspired floral and delicate linen cocktail napkins. Deliciously decadent, all the way around. Just they way I like my Sunday inspiration. ✨😍✨

Hello, gorgeous. Thank goodness for great friends

Hello, gorgeous. Thank goodness for great friends with immense talent. What a treat it is to collaborate with my dear friend @akeshiakinseye. A few weeks back she came over to @gene_georgetti and we had a really fun afternoon on the second floor in the newly restored library. The symphony of jewel tones and textures was absolute perfection. Creating with Akeshi is both educational + comforting. Laughter filled and inspiration driven. I am always so grateful for my friends ❤️. Obsessed with that floral does not even begin to cover it.

Ok, so here is a little #fridayintroduction with a twist for new followers (hello + welcome btw!). I am Michelle (you know that); wedding planner, equestrian, and restaurateur. But you knew that already too. Maybe something you don’t know? Well, read on my friends. 👉🏼 It is pretty cool when a show can inspire in addition to just entertaining. For 15 years I watched @cw_supernatural and loved everything about it from the awesome writing, the nod to urban legends, the great cast and the creative mythology. But it also has this really awesome message that family are the people you choose, and to always keep fighting for good. For me, it resonated. And yesterday, the longest running genre show in the U.S. aired its final episode (yes, I did totally cry, lol). I had the chance to meet the show’s leads Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles a couple of times and it was a pretty cool experience. So I am nerding out today in all my glory, and posting a final farewell to a show I really enjoyed. See, you just never know what you’ll get here on this insta feed. Beautiful horses, lovely weddings, delicious food and —> just a little bit of supernatural. ✨✨
