From Olivia: Picking a favorite wedding of the year is like picking a favorite child – each one is unique, delightful, and beautiful in their own way – it’s impossible. But when I think back on my 2024 season, Andrew + Tim’s wedding stands out for a few reasons: 1. It was a quintessential Chicago summer Saturday 2. The Adler Planetarium is a setting like no other 3. It was full of JOY. 

This is also a good time to share how grateful Team OFW is for our incredible couples and their families.  We are so, so lucky to do this job and during this Thanksgiving week, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you, thank you.

Okay, back to Andrew + Tim’s wedding day: there is so much to share about this absolutely incredible day, so read on.

Kelsey + Michael are the type of couple you just want the best for - they are kind and a whole lot of fun, and bringing their wedding vision to life felt effortless. They got married on a foggy October afternoon at The Arbory and they leaned into bold fall colors with lush floral by Romee Willow Florals, some chic tabletop rentals and Michael’s custom plum suit by 9Tailors paired with a floral tie (!). 

They had a relatively small wedding of 60 of their closest friends and family, but I remember distinctly that they were the most FUN group I’ve ever seen - the dance floor was chock full of energy (it helps that Michael and his sister are former dancers!) until the very last second. What a night.

Happy first anniversary to Kelsey + Michael!  xo Olivia
