With November comes the beauty of winter weddings. I love gorgeous bouquets and faux fur wraps, don’t you? There is something so magical about winter weddings. And also something so chilly! 🤣 Gearing up for a good one today with floral from @exqdesigns and photography by @collinpierson! (And don’t worry, I will be layering galore for our amazing outdoor ceremony that is going to be SO gorgeous! Check my stories later!!) The same as is featured in this lovely photo. Dress: @stephenyearick @dimitrasbridalcouture 😍 . . . . . #chicagocouple #weddingideas #chicagobride #weddinginspo #eventplanner #chicagogram #weddingwednesday #wedding #weddingday #weddinginspiration #bride #weddingideas #weddings #bridal #thatsdarling #insideweddings #weddingstyle #weddingplanner #lakeshoreinlove #weddingseason #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #womeninbiz #girlboss #creativelife #socialcurator #creativehappylife #bossbabe

It is such an incredible morning. The first snow fall of the year is happening outside of my windows as I watch with my Felix curled up in a blanket and a piping hot cappuccino in hand. I can’t believe that 2018 holiday season is about to be upon us, can you? Tomorrow is my final wedding of the season, and I am really looking forward to this one, and celebrating this couple. We have a really cool vendor line up, the sweetest littles, romantic floral and a massively love filled bridal party. Does it get any better than that? 😍 Can’t wait! . . . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #chicagopartyplanner #girlboss #creativelife #socialcurator #confetti #creativehappylife #weddingstylist #weddingplannerlife #mycreativebiz #doitfortheprocess #dowhatyoulove #explorecreate #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #friday #happiness #inspire #thoughtoftheday #womenwhowork #girlbosslife #femalepreneur #shemeansbusiness #womenwhodo #dreamersandoers

As we come upon our last wedding of 2018 happening this weekend, I am truly so grateful for such a wonderful group of clients and weddings this year. I love what I do, and I appreciate every client and the choice they make in hiring us to bring a most precious day to life for them. For both my husband and I it has been an incredible year of opportunities and growth as a newly married couple, and as professionals. We have been on the go for quite some time and have met so many great people and had some incredible experiences. This new year heading our way so quickly brings with it so many wonderful things for my family; my parents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on the same day my father turns 75! Collin and I are married for a year, and three days before that, I turn 40 (😳). All of that is within the first 32 days of 2019, giving us so much to celebrate. With that in mind we have decided to do just that, and visit our family and friends in Italy next week!!! You may not know this, but I lived in Florence and attended university there for some time, and half of my heart will always be there. After all of the work we have so gratefully pursued this year, we are all looking forward to this time there! We actually have a few cool projects while we are there (come on, you had to know I could not take a complete vacation?!🤣). I am so looking forward to it! Who has a favorite place in Florence or Tuscany that they want to share with me?! Tell me below!! Grazie amici miei! . . . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #womeninbiz #italy #creativelife #socialcurator #italiangirl #creativehappylife #chicagopartyplanner #femaleentrepreneur #mycreativebiz #doitfortheprocess #dowhatyoulove #explorecreate #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #motivation #happiness #inspire #thoughtoftheday #womenwhowork #girlbosslife #femalepreneur #shemeansbusiness #womenwhodo #dreamersandoers

Does fall tend to make anyone other than me absurdly reflective? I’m just enjoying the cool crispness of today’s November morning and trying to decide my absolute FAVORITE thing about autumn. I think for me it is still being able to enjoy the sun outside, especially with my horse babies, but getting to dress in comfy layers. What’s your favorite thing about fall?
