Jillian was always such a pleasure to have in the store, from the day she chose her dress to her final fitting, she always had such a great, happy spirit.  She found her Stella York wedding dress relatively quickly, but what really sold her was the rose gold accented belt made my Mila’s Golden Thread.  *Mila not only is our head seamstress, she is quite the bridal belt designer!

Jillian and Michael celebrated their love with close friends and family at Forest Hills Country Club in Rockford IL. The beautiful backdrop of natural lighting and hard wood made for some beautiful photos!

Check out Jillian’s perfect rose gold accents!

#FirstLookGoals ! Look at Michael’s picture perfect reaction to his bride!!

Jillian’s train is entirely chiffon with a lace detailed hem.

 

 

Jillian’s dress had a beautiful tattoo lace back. It was the perfect compliment to her high neckline and soft aline shape.

Congratulations Jillian and Michael! It was a complete pleasure getting to work with you and help you fine tune your look. We wish you all the best as you take this amazing first step as a married couple this year.

Kaity & Nick shared big day jitters this past September at Eaglewood Resort in Itasca IL. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and we are thrilled to share some of our favorites with you.

 

Its all in the details! Kaity’s wedding dress is by Essense of Australia. The natural a-line, chiffon gown is perfectly on trend with the high neckline and tattoo lace back.

Kaity’s beautifully bubbly personality shines through in these photos.

 

 

 

They did it!!

Kaity kept a classic, timeless pallet when it came to her bridal party.  Cobalt blue and ivory compliment one another perfectly.

It was such a pleasure working with you and Kaity! We wish you and Nick the most beautiful and wonderful life as you enter your first few months as husband and wife.

Cheers!

Carly & Jake have a love story like no other.  They met on Carly’s first day of college orientation and it has been true love ever since.  After almost 10 years later, a move across the country and a few life challenges, they were able to celebrate their love with their closest friends and family at Emerson Creek Pottery & Tea Room in Oswego IL.

Carly is a dear friend of mine and has been for years.  Her and Jake have a beautiful, unconditional love that is infectious when you’re able to spend time with them.   Celebrating their wedding was a complete honor and wish we could do it all over again!!

 

 

Carly’s “Something Borrowed” was her sisters accessories from her wedding.  She purchased her earrings, bracelet and veil at The Crystal Bride as well.

 Carly wore an Essense of Australia gown with ivory lace and moscato lining.  Her off the shoulder, aline gown was unlined through the bodice and gave her that sexy, casual feel she always wanted.

Carly and her sister Mallory have always been as close as can be.  She opted against a big bridal party and asked her most important person to stand by her side.

#SiblingGoals

Carly and Jake had a very special display of those who couldn’t be there to celebrate with them. It was an absolute beautiful tribute that brought tears to my eyes.  Carly’s dad, Tom, would have been so happy to see Carly’s genuine smile throughout her big day.

The always beautiful Lopatkiewicz girls.

Jake & Carly are always having the most fun together.

 She even looks stunning when she leaves!!

Carly’s gorgeous train was a dream on the dance floor.  It literally danced across the floor all night long.

After over two decades of friendship, we both managed to landed the men of our dreams.  <3

Congratulations Carly & Jake! You guys are true friends and wish we could see you more often.

Thank you for sharing in your big day with us.  We love you both so much!!!
