I had so much fun writing about my business for The Estate Blog and being asked to contribute as one of their preferred creative partners. I got to answer some fun questions for them about me, my business and my love of the City of Chicago! Here are some excerpts below of that article. You can read the full article on The Estate Blog.

Camp Wedding Retreat at Camp Wandewega

In September, I was honored to be asked to speak by Sarah and Andrea from Cherry Berry Events at Camp Wedding at the Camp Wandewega, located in Wisconsin. This was their inaugural wedding retreat and I was looking forward to meeting some new friends in the wedding industry. I attend a couple of event conferences a year and I was intrigued by the concept of Camp Wedding, with wedding professionals being in a camp environment.

Speaking at Camp Wed in September

Speaking at Camp Wed in September

I am SO excited to announce that I will be speaking at Camp Wed in Elkhorn Wisconsin at Camp Wandawega from September 14th-16th! Sarah Sarbackerand Andrea VandeBerg from Cherry Berry Events are producing this fun event which is just about to sell out. The first time Sarah and Andrea visited Camp Wandawega to prepare for a wedding they coordinated at the Camp, they knew they wanted to spend some time there outside of work. After planning a retreat for the two of them to plot their future plans and get inspired they dreamed of getting like minded small business owners together to share inspiration, learn, relax, collaborate, and re-energize...Camp Wedding was born.

Pumpkins and your Fall Chicago Wedding

Pumpkins and your Fall Chicago Wedding

It is Halloween week! That exciting time when we get to give out candy to little kids in our neighborhood (we get like 400 trick or treaters) and also carve pumpkins. Pumpkin is a "hot" topic right now. I see just about everywhere ads for pumpkin lattes. At restaurants I see pumpkin soups on the menu and at the grocery store I see lots of mini pumpkins  for your mantle or table.

Chicago Wedding at River East Art Center and Holy Name Cathedral

We LOVED Morgan and Mike's wedding last fall at the Holy Name Cathedral and River East Art Center. Elizabeth Anne Designs featured it on their wedding blog last week and we wanted to share on our own website too. Morgan and Mike's favorite season is Fall and they embraced that in their wedding day details. Who does not love a fall wedding in Chicago? Enjoy!
