If rain is good luck on your wedding day, then Britni and Eric are the luckiest couple around! This fun-loving couple didn't need to worry about weathering any storm; the high energy, laughter, and love was felt by all that night!

Spring may bring the showers, but all this March wedding received was showers of LOVE! We couldn't be more thrilled with the joy and elegance Alaynia & Ryan's wedding brought to each other and every family and friend in attendance!

Photographer, Heather Ferreria Design & Photography, brought to life all the beauty, tenderness, and laughter of the evening! And with a great selection of food stations prepared by Comfort's Catering, the Boren wedding was a huge Spring success!

Last month, Pantone revealed its 2016 colors of the year: Rose Quartz & Serenity. These two soft, lush colors, without doubt, will pop up all over the social event scene! If light pink and blue decor captivates you and your theme, here are some gorgeous and creative ways to incorporate the year's hottest color scheme!

It was such a joy working with this couple for their elegant show-stopping reception. Nicole and Michael know how to throw a party for the ones they love. With bagpipers performing during the cocktail hour, photobooth for fun memories, and full draping of the venue's interior, no guest would leave this event without some great memories!

October was truly a phenomenal month with fanciful and romantic fall weddings. If you haven't heard, October is the new June of the wedding season. And with designs and themes like Allison & Steve Yonkman's wedding, who can blame them for maximizing the woodsy rustic lure of a venue in the autumn woods!

Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!

How about starting off the fall season with a Chicago Bears themed wedding! Laura and Rich created both a soft, elegant, yet subtly masculine theme drawing from their love of football and the Bears! Table numbers were transformed into table players/jersey numbers. And a Chicago sports-themed chalk board sign at the es**rt card table revealed their journey of love and ever after.

The gorgeous cake was created by Cakes By Karen and the beautiful bouquets crafted by Kathy's Florist.

Thank you to Keith from The Music Men for keeping the jams solid all night long!

And thanks for a lovely dinner by Comfort's Catering & Restaurant.

We wish Laura and Rich a lifetime of wins both in marriage and on the field!

Go Mr. and Mrs. Thomas!!!
