Shanna + Andrew: Lush, Stylish, Elegant Field Museum Wedding

Shanna + Andrew have a lightness and laughter in their relationship that is just infectious. It was such an honor to plan their wedding alongside them – can’t believe it’s been a year! They had big dreams when it came to their wedding, and Chicago’s Field Museum was the perfect backdrop for their elegant evening. We worked together for the better part of the year bringing their gorgeous white, green, and blue vision to life, thanks to the brilliant Kehoe Designs. The result was a lush, grand, yet inviting summer Chicago day for these lovebirds. You have to see the incredible ceremony site and dinner in the Field Museum is pure magic!! Huge thank you to Tim Tab for capturing their day so beautifully.

Happy first anniversary to Shanna + Andrew! xo Olivia

Claire + Dave: Dreamy, Meaningful, Romantic Chicago Wedding

Claire + Dave were married on a bright Summer’s day at the gorgeous Wildman BT, one year ago this past week! This wedding was especially meaningful as Claire is a family friend of Noelle’s, so she was thrilled when they reached out seeking a Partial Planner for their big day. Noelle had already booked another amazing OFW couple for their chosen day, so this wedding planning process was a collaborative effort for team OFW! Noelle led planning up until the day of the event and then Katie took the reigns, on wedding day, to coordinate and insure all planning was executed flawlessly.

The day could not have been any more perfect! The sun was shining and you could genuinely tell that both Claire and Dave were more than ready to marry one another and had so much love for each other. It was so sweet to see all of the love the couple received from their family and friend’s as well. The day was filled with special moments and so so SO much joy. We hope that the last year has been filled with just as much bliss as your wedding day!

Happy Anniversary week, Claire + Dave!

Carrie + Will: Joyful, Family-oriented, Grand University Club Wedding

Carrie + Will and I clicked right away. I met with them and Carrie’s mom after booking, and after the meeting, I just thought – “this is going to be fun”. They are a fun-loving, kind, and warm pair (and it doesn’t hurt that every meeting at their cozy condo included their tiny pup, Tito!!) and it was an immense pleasure to support their wedding day dreams.

Carrie grew up going to the University Club with her dad and so it seemed natural to host her wedding ceremony and reception in the stunning Cathedral Hall (doesn’t hurt that it looks a bit like Hogwarts!). Their ceremony was officiated by a friend and it was breathtaking. The joy and love between these two made the entire room shimmer. The rest of the day was carried along by that wave of love, and the dance floor was a HIGHLIGHT. When both mom and daughter are named Caroline.. You can imagine the energy in the room when Rush Street Rhythm played “Sweet Caroline”. WOW. It is a night I remember with so much joy!

Happy first anniversary to Carrie + Will! xo Olivia
