Was it me, or did Monday come in a little hot today? And move at 1,000 MPH? Whew. I need a cake break. 😍. This beauty from @bonvivantcakes gets me every time. I am slightly obsessed with the style, energy and talent the woman behind the cakes has! If you don’t know @bonvivantcakes you should! 💕 From the @tonipatisseriecafe cookies to that floral from @keshevents, this is one of my favorite events to date. ✨ It also happens to be featured on @karaspartyideas today which is so awesome! ✨ Photo: @sodafountainphoto // Balloons & Rentals: @soeur1020events // Cookies: @tonipatisseriecafe // Cake and sweets: @bonvivantcakes // Floral: @keshevents // Planning & Styling: Michelle Durpetti Events ✨ . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #babygirl💕 #showergoals #babyshowerideas #chicagopartyplanner #keshevents #partyplanning #destinationweddingplanner #bonvivantcakes #thatsdarling #pink #doitfortheprocess #dowhatyoulove #destinationeventplanner #nothingisordinary #babyshowergirl #makeitblissful #pinkdecor #happiness #babyshowerideas #thoughtoftheday #womenwhowork #babygirl🎀 #partydecorations #lakeshoreinlove #partyslatepro

Happy Monday, friends. I am traveling today. Which got me thinking... Something I have learned to love about producing weddings and events throughout the country (and beyond 😍) is how much I love meeting and working with fellow creatives from different places. While I absolutely love my trusted network of cultivated creatives in Chicago, it is such fun to work in different areas of the country and learn about what inspires them. As you probably already know, I am a lover of stories. The “why and the how” fascinate me (art history major, remember?). ✨ It was such fun to meet the oh so talented @lumiere_lauren while working a sea side wedding near Boston last year. This client was the most lovely, fun and gracious clients and the vendors designing her day really brought their A game. I absolutely loved this bouquet, it had volume and texture and lots of romance. And it went together perfectly with that @valentinispose gown from @dimitrasbridalcouture 😍 Photo: @collinpierson // Floral: @lumiere_lauren // Dress: @valentinispose @dimitrasbridalcouture Michelle Durpetti Events ✨ . . . #destinationweddings #weddingplannerlife #weddingstylist #insideweddings #weddingday #destinationweddingplanner #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #30daysofsc #weddingseason #events #weddingfun #weddingideas #chicagoweddingplanner #weddingplanner #bostonweddings #chicagoinfluencer #travelingweddingplanner #modluxweddingschi #lakeshoreinlove #weddings #sailclothtent #chicagopartyplanner #weddingplanning #inspiration #seasidewedding #lifestyle #wedding #weddingphoto #weddinggoals

Gilded, twinkling and height are a few of my favorite things for a reception. I really like it when a table, and a room can have height without compromising how guests can speak with each other (and see each other!) Notice how this beautiful floral adds so much but never takes away from conversation. Love that!✨ photo: @collinpierson // Floral + Design: @limanidesigns // Paper: @limanidesigns // Planning: MDE // Location: @lshiremarriott . . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #insideweddings #modluxweddingschi #weddingfun #creativelife #chicagopartyplanner #weddinginspo #weddingstyle #weddingtradition #lakeshoreinlove #weddingdance #justmarried #dowhatyoulove #huffpostido #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #motivation #happiness #inspire #thoughtoftheday #weddingplannerlife #destinationweddingplanner #femalepreneur #bridalbouquet #weddedbliss #lovemyjob❤️

A Renaissance palazzo, a dream team of creatives, and right in the heart of Florence, Italy. 😍 There are few things that make my heart go pitter patter more than that combination. And then we began designing the concept. And that was hands down one of the most fun experiences I have had as a planner! From the decadent floral to the fruit and every layer it was just incredible to be a part of. 🍇 Bringing weddings and events to life in Chicago and beyond brings me such joy. With fluency in Italian and Spanish, and a little French (thank you Sister Catherine!) the MDE team is ready to knock it out of the park for our clients in our own beloved city, or throughout the world. Considering a destination wedding? We’d love chat to learn more. ☎️ We have produced weddings + events in over a dozen states (including Hawaii!), and several countries, too. On my bucket list is still a wedding in Florence - so I am putting that out in to the universe. ⭐️ Our go bag is always ready, so shoot us a message and let’s get to planning. 😍✈️✨ Photo: @facibenifotografia // Floral: @lillaflorals // Rentals: @event_set // Napkin: @bbjlinen // Menu: @smittenboutiquechicago // Location + Catering: @lungarnocollection // Planning + Styling: Me 😎 (and it was such a dream!) . . . #destinationweddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #weddingfun #weddinginspo #weddingdecorinspiration #weddingideas #girlinflorence #theflorentine #wanderlust #destinationweddingitaly #getmarriedintuscany #luxuryweddingplanner #lakeshoreinlove #insideweddings #destinationweddingtuscany #tietheknotintuscany #getmarriedinflorence #italianwedding #bridetobe #engaged💍 #italy🇮🇹 #weddingdetails #weddinginspo

Hello, SPRING! I hear birds chirping, and that incredible scent of blooms and growth and LIFE is in the air. 🤩The variations of green as everything begins to bud is one of the best things about this season. Today also means we get that glorious balance of daytime and nighttime all over the world -- from the equator extending to the poles -- with just about 12 hours of each. Cultures and countries around the world mark spring equinox with various holidays, I am instead choosing to mark this day with butterflies. And cake. (Is anyone surprised?) ✨ Our “with love, from Lagerfeld” inspired creative from a few weeks back feels like the perfect celebration for this very first day of spring. 🦋 Dream team that brought this to life: Floral and Design: @erinmcdonaldco | Planning: @mdurpettievents | Photography: @cristinagphoto | Stationery: @smittenboutiquechicago | Linens: @bbjlinen | Rentals: @tablescapeschgo |Venue: @gallery_1500 | Event Production: @lakeshoreinlove @clovereventschicago . . . . #weddinginspiration #chicagoweddingplanner #socialcurator #weddingplanning #weddingideas #gettingmarried #deatinationweddingplanner #weddingfloral #weddingplannerlife #weddingstylist #huffpostido #marriage #justmarried #insideweddings #weddingseason #cake #modluxweddingschi #receptiondecor #lakeshoreinlove #butterflies #weddingdesign #weddingreception #goteammember #destinationweddingplanner #weddingstylist #chicagopartyplanner #chicagoweddings #springequinox2019

Buon San Giuseppe a tutti! Happy St. Joseph Day, friends! If you know me, you know how proud I am of my Italian heritage and today is a day that I love to celebrate! Give me all the zeppole and all the St. Joseph day tables and I am one happy donna italiana!!! 🇮🇹 ❤️✨photo: @mcymmer . . . #weddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #30daysofsc #chicagogrammers #womenintheworld #womeninbiz #girlboss #blogger #eventproducer #beyourownboss #creativehappylife #bossbabe #femaleentrepreneur #mycreativebiz #doitfortheprocess #dowhatyoulove #explorecreate #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #motivation #happiness #inspire #thoughtoftheday #womenwhowork #girlbosslife #destinationweddingplanner #shemeansbusiness #chicagoinfluencer #dreamersandoers
