Sarah & Brenda’s Wedding

Sarah & Brenda’s Wedding at The Kenilworth Club in Glenview, IL
August 30^th, 2014

Sarah & Brenda had an intimate Wedding at the Kenilworth Club on August 30^th, 2014 for 80 guests. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a fun, laid back and loving couple! Being able to plan their entire wedding from start to finish was so much fun we wish them a marriage filled with happiness & love.

Sarah & Brenda wanted something simple, elegant and timeless for the invitations. Spilled Ink Press had recently done some work that I was obsessed with, so I immediately put Sarah & Brenda in touch. Amy had so many fun ideas and Sarah & Brenda designed some pretty cool Wedding Stationery. Definitely I vendor I cannot wait to use again!

The weather was absolutely perfect! The tented ceremony with ivory draping added a more intimate touch (and looked stunning, blowing in the wind). An orchid wrapped arbor made Sarah & Brenda’s ceremony space even more stunning. The lush green backdrop was the perfect accompaniment to their white, ivory and pale pink color story.

“Romantic, intimate & elegant” were all words that Sarah & Brenda used to describe how they envisioned their wedding. Having a soft, but not too feminine color story was important- so pairing the navy bridesmaids’ dresses with a softer khaki color for the men in the wedding party seemed right. Having the subtle pops of pink in the personal flowers and ceremony décor, gave the designs a softer feel against the strong presence of the navy.

Combining Sarah & Brenda’s favorite flowers (Orchids and Roses) we were able to create breathtaking matching Bridal Bouquets with a subtle pops of pink throughout.

I love being able to work with Boutique Bites! Elaina and her staff are beyond qualified and always deliver the most delicious and creative menus. During Sarah & Brenda’s menu creation, we knew a “Fresh & Fun” selection of appetizers for the outdoor cocktail hour was a must!

The watermelon cups were fantastic and guests really enjoyed the mini “Chicago Style” hot dogs and mini Chicken Tacos.

The specialty cocktails were extremely refreshing and garnished beautifully! A sprig of lavender made “Sarah’s Spritzer” all the more enjoyable!

Being able to have your wedding outdoors is always a treat! Sarah & Brenda added to that fun with a custom designed Bag Set! Several of the guests could be seen playing throughout the Cocktail Hour.

The guests enjoyed an amazing meal accompanied by a (insert cake filling) by Cake Chicago.

One of my favorite DJ companies, Scratch DJ’s made sure everyone got up to dance at some point and kept us all entertained with great tunes throughout the evening!

Guests were treated to a Traveling Photo booth towards the end of the night as well as personalized wine glasses.

The day and night couldn’t have gone any better. All of the guests had a marvelous time and Brenda & Sarah looked stunning! We are happy to have had the chance to be a part of such a special night!

We wish Sarah & Brenda the best!
