Hello #freshflowerfriday! 🌹 Is there anything better than receiving flowers? I love receiving flowers as a gift because they are beautiful, smell wonderful and are just the right amount of decadent and that is so delicious to me. Even better is when all of that can happen in addition to some wonderful charities getting proceeds from the sale. Beauty and charity are a lovely combination. I loved my bouquet from @flowersfordreams (I actually got two and was so excited!) ❤️🌹❤️ photo (and bouquet): @collinpierson . . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #womeninbiz #weddinginspo #creativelife #freshflowers #weddingideas #creativehappylife #bouquet #chicagopartyplanner #mycreativebiz #dowhatyoulove #explorecreate #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #motivation #happiness #inspire #thoughtoftheday #flowersfordreamschicago #girlbosslife #femalepreneur #destinationweddingplanner #womenwhodo #dreamersandoers

I have to say, I am still interested in everything you have to tell me after three years. I think that’s a good sign. Happy Valentine’s Day, handsome. You keep it soulful, heartfelt, organized, romantic and funny as much as you can and I love that. And you 😘 Photo: @sodafountainphoto // Hair: @hairbyjuanjose // Makeup: @makeupbyagarhodes ❤️ . . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #florence #wanderlust #creativelife #socialcurator #valentine #creativehappylife #datenight #travelblogger #destinationphotographer #digitalinfluencer #lifestylephotography #chicagoinfluencer #chicago #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #weddingfun #happiness #inspire #weddinginspo #weddingstylist #weddingplannerlife #destinationweddingplanner #destinationweddingphotographer #chicagocouple #married 😎

Today is the day! Each year I have the privilege of being part of a team that creates a really cool event here in Chicago and this year it has some really special components. Can’t wait to rock that runway with @dimitrasbridalcouture @collinpierson @leapweddings @makeupbyagarhodes @hairbyjuanjose and @modluxweddingschi today at the @wachicago. And then post runway I am so excited to see what my friend and colleague @taylorandcoevents creates at the annual planner dinner. His creativity is always a feast for the eyes at that table! Special shout out to @davisimperial for getting all of tonight’s looks perfectly pristine, and of course to @1elizabethgrace for those lovely invites and all the printed beauties featured this evening. And let’s not forget how excited I am to experience what @becca.kaufman and @beatmixchicago creates for entertainment!!! I am so excited for you all to see that runway presentation, some pretty incredible people will be walking in it. Including one couple who happen to be very near and dear to my heart. Can’t wait! Who will we see there tonight? 😍photo: @collinpierson . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #womeninbiz #girlboss #creativelife #eventproducer #beyourownboss #creativehappylife #bossbabe #femaleentrepreneur #mycreativebiz #doitfortheprocess #dowhatyoulove #explorecreate #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #motivation #happiness #inspire #thoughtoftheday #womenwhowork #girlbosslife #destinationweddingplanner #shemeansbusiness #womenwhodo #dreamersandoers

I am so feeling this chocolate panna cotta for breakfast this morning. 😍 Did you know that in addition to planning weddings and events for my beautiful clients that I also am a managing partner and third generation in my family’s restaurant business? @gene_georgetti was begun by my grandfather Gene in 1941, and since then his descendants have opened multiple restaurants, including two Gene & Georgetti and even an event space (shout out @estate_chicago!). The last few weeks I have had the privilege of working with our teams to create two incredibly special Valentine’s Day menus that I am so proud of. Beginning Feb 14th - the 16th each restaurant is offering a really special four course menu. From local ingredients to home made pasta to this delicious panna cotta (also home made) there is something to tantalize every heart, and every palette (like swordfish, and grouper! 🤩) . And for all you steak lovers, of course we have you covered too. So, like I said - panna cotta for breakfast anyone? 😍😍✨❤️ Photo: @collinpierson . . . #chicagogrammers #chicago #chicagofood #chicagogram #chicagoeats #chicagofoodauthority #foodiesofinstagram #foodiegram #foodgawker #foodauthority #forkyeah #chicagoclassic #pannacotta #igerschicago #checkpleasepics #chicagopartyplanner #infatuationchi #mychicagopix #eaterchicago #chicagoweddingplanner #chicagogram

Sundays off. Aren’t they glorious?they typically involve cappuccino, afternoons watching favorite shows, and cooking in the kitchen with this guy. There is typically no makeup, comfy clothes and some pretty snuggly pups and as much as I love being dressed, feeling confident and fancy, I could not enjoy the downtime more. And soon enough I get to shift gears - Only about a week until I am back in the saddle too, and after 8 weeks away from the horses I cannot even tell you how much I am looking forward to that. All of what I am talking about today are the things that happen around my work life. The moments that make up the rest of my life. Some of those moments help me to reset, restore and reenergize, while other parts of my life (my horses) are what motivate me to work harder, be smarter and continue to stretch towards my goals. None of this has been super easy lately. I am not a complainer, instead I will say this - it is nice to have a partner that respects the hustle, supports the dream, and occasionally reminds me to take a moment to dance with him. That’s pretty solid. 💕 Photo: @facibenifotografia . . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #restauranteur #socialcurator #creativelife #florence #wife #creativehappylife #girlinflorence #femaleentrepreneur #mycreativebiz #theflorentine #dowhatyoulove #explorecreate #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #motivation #happiness #inspire #weddingsintuscany #destinationweddingplanner #thisisme #valentine2019 #shemeansbusiness #dancing #chicagopartyplanner
