Place Card Tables

One of my favorite wedding details is the place card table.  It is often the first detail that wedding guests see when they arrive at the reception.  A place card table should set the tone of your event...it should offer a sneak peak to what is to come inside the ballroom or dining area.  When we are creating place card tables, we try to think outside of the box...we try to create a "wow" for the wedding guests...something they will continue to talk about! 

A few of our favorites...

Spring is almost here...

It is almost the middle of March, High Wedding Season is almost upon us, the sun is trying to come out and I can only think about the wonderful outdoor venues that will host our client's upcoming weddings and pre-wedding festivities.  Outdoor venues in Chicago evoke instant character...there are not many places like Chicago where you can be sixteen floors up at the "Terrace at the Trump" enjoying a cocktail and delicious cuisine, surrounded by some of Chicago's most historic buildings. 

For the sports fans out there...the many rooftops of Wrigley Field are unique spaces that can host bachelor and bachelorette parties.  A rooftop offers a casual, fun environment where you can mingle with friends enjoying cocktails and great food while watching the famous Chicago Cubs.  These outstanding rooftops are located in classic three story buildings that have been renovated with decks and stadium seating looking out to one of the most famous ballparks in the country.  Once again, only in Chicago!

Hinsdale Wedding Walk Re-Cap

The 2010 Wedding Walk has come and gone but was once again a huge success!  Brides visited downtown Hinsdale from all over Chicago and surrounding suburbs.  They were delighted to receive great goodies from all of the vendors along with informative information to assist in the planning of their big day.  25 lucky brides walked away with fabulous raffle prizes donated from the various businesses!  One extremely lucky bride was given one of the best gifts a bride could receive...a honeymoon to Riviera Maya courtesy of Viking Travel, Funjet Vacations and Classic Vacations.  I was honored to make the call to the lucky bride and I can tell you she was very ecstatic to be the big winner of the day!  Congratulations to all the brides! 

Thank you to the many businesses that participated in this years show!  And a big thank you to our media partners Wedding Guide Chicago and CS Brides!  Both wonderful resources for brides!

For more information about the wedding vendors that partipated in the show, please visit the Hinsdale Wedding Resource Website.
