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.

Newberry library weddings

A Newberry Library Celebration, Alyssa and Jeff

A Newberry Library Celebration, Alyssa and Jeff

Alyssa and Jeff Peterson's wedding was a picture perfect fall day in Chicago. They chose to go on a "photo safari" around Chicago with their wedding party before they said their I Do's at Newberry Library in Chicago. Alyssa's wedding shoes just made me smile! They were the blue Manolo's that Carrie wore in the Sex In The City Movie! She rocked those shoes and had a blast all day. Their reception was a festive reception where the guests dined, danced (DJ was Don Wilson of Fun Times DJ) and climed in and out of the antique photo booth to get their pictures taken with the bride and groom.

Alyssa and Jeff's Chicago Wedding

Alyssa and Jeff tied the knot at The Newberry Library. It was a gorgeous day in October for pictures around Chicago, which they did before the ceremony with their wedding party. The ceremony at 6pm was officiated by Jim Rehnberg and the guests laughed and cried when he talked about the amazing relationship of this bride and groom. Having met in a bookstore, their tables were all named after their favorite books. 

Alyssa and Ali

I adored my bride Alyssa last Saturday. She and Jeff got married at Newberry Library. Stay tuned for pictures of their amazing wedding which I will post next week. You HAVE to see her bridal shoes. (Think Carrie in Sex in the City Movie).

One of my favorite wedding cakes

Nicole and Pat's wedding was just beautiful on Friday, June 1st at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. I particularly loved her wedding cake which looked so elegant and sweet! Her centerpieces were fabulous too, thanks Suzanne at Anthony G
