anni + ross: laid back love

By et | Published Monday, October 22, 2012

I thought I blew it with Anni + Ross the first time we met. I was definitely a creepy wedding planner. We were chatting about their wedding of course and I was gushing over their vendors and venue because they were all amazing. I'm probably the only wedding planner on the face of the earth that won't throw a complete and total fit about a bride telling me she's going to do her own flowers, I could just tell Anni could handle it. They were just. so. chill. So as we were wrapping up I asked if they were taking a honeymoon after the wedding and they said yes, they were going to Palm Springs. Without thinking I asked, "oh, are you staying at the Ace Hotel?" The answer was yes, which I am sure creeped them both out a little bit, but I just knew. They are exactly cool enough to stay there and fit right in. Luckily, they saw past my bizarreness and hired Anticipation Events anyway!

diana + mike: salvage one style

By et | Published Sunday, April 29, 2012

Diana + Mike were married last year at Salvage One in Chicago. I am finally posting some pictures from their amazing party now that the feature has been posted on Style Me Pretty. Because Olivia Leigh is an amazing photographer with a bigger distaste for mayo than yours truly (seriously, it's written in her contract which basically puts her on rock star status level) and because my words would likely only detract from her talent and also because I know you're only here for the wedding p0rn anyhow, and in honor of this, the longest run-on sentence on this blog to date, here you go:

laura + dan = team zeewagen

Laura and Dan got married in October at Salvage One in Chicago. If you have never been there before, you should check it out. They describe themselves best, so I'm not going to mess it up: "We save architectural elements from the wrecking ball. We work to preserve and pass on our history. We have been helping our customers breathe new life into salvaged materials for nearly 30 years. We aim to take salvage further by working with you to add creativity and style to your space. Our store is over 60,000 square feet full of materials and design ideas on four floors. We have a full work shop to do custom work, and a yard full of garden and landscaping ideas." But it's also a wicked-cool place to have your wedding, but you better have a little bad-ass in you.
