Pria + Chris: Cheerful, Sunny, Lakefront Chicago Wedding

If there was ever a true testament to true love it is Pria and Chris. Pria + Chris are not only high school sweethearts but middle school sweethearts as well. They started dating in the 7th grade and have been together for more than half of their lives. After graduating from Walter Payton Prep in the city, Pria headed to UCLA and Chris went to Vanderbilt. After college, Chris went into the Marines and Pria stayed in California to get her PhD. The two wed on a perfect crisp October day full of sunshine and blue skies.

Cheers to Pria + Chris! -Kirsten

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!

- Katie + Noelle
