Rustic Small Wedding at Creativo Loft

Theresa and Octavio are service industry professionals, so we were excited to see how they would use Creativo Loft for their wedding.  They are also fortunate to have very creative people in their family. 

The couple went with the natural warm tones of our space, with our burgundy and cream draping and champagne table overlay linens.  The bride's sister and friends came in the day before to set up the DIY table centerpieces, place cards, and accent decor.  The bride's brother actually made the wood ceremony arch, which after the wedding became a nice garden piece for the couple's yard.  A unique and beautiful tree motif was used on the place cards and guest gifts to match the golden tree cake topper.

In addition to the wonderful DIY details, professional services were enlisted for a polished event. To officially tie the knot, one of our favorite officiants Judge Perry Gulbrandsen presided over the ceremony. The delicious cake from Swedish Bakery was topped with an heirloom cake topper from the bride's grandparents wedding.  Outstanding cuisine, bar service, rentals and staffing were handled by FIG Catering.  The couple also utilized some of our in-house services and decor at Creativo Loft, including our music sound system, rustic farm table, antique wood trunk, antique Venetian lantern floor lamp, iron bistro table and chairs, and champagne and burgundy accent linens.  We also had the corner lounge setup with couches and antique Italian marble coffee table by our vintage upright piano.  It was a lovely wedding and congratulations to the newlyweds!

Naperville Illinois Wedding at Meson Sabika

Like many couples who "leave the nest" to start their careers in other cities, Kallie and John had a "homecoming" wedding in the bride's hometown of Naperville, Illinois.  Since the couple lives in New York, they had a lot of help from family and friends to plan and organize the wedding, which took place at Naper Settlement and Meson Sabika.

During the morning, the bride had help getting ready at home with her mother and bridesmaids, a.k.a. "team bride." Her lovely Sassi Holford gown was accented with two different sashes, one white for daytime and one black for evening.  Her black studded Giuseppe Zanotti heels also added a kick of personal style.  The bridesmaids wore long black dresses, with bouquets of autumnal reds and peach-orange hues. 

The Century Memorial Chapel at Naper Settlement was built in 1864 with a Gothic Revival style of architecture.  The couple was married by the same minister who presided over the bride's parents wedding years ago.

M&M Special Events decorated the reception with warm champaign, cream and soft golden tones, along with Philip's Flowers arrangements, which were primarily ivory roses for the centerpieces, along accent arrangements and cake topper flowers in vibrant deep red and peachy-orange roses.

The groom's brother was his best man, and he had kept the first "contract" the two made as young boys.  It was an agreement to "not hit each other during the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.," which was a lovely sentimental gesture that had everyone laughing and crying at the same time.

During the course of the evening Kallie also had a special moment for her sister Breanne, presenting her with a parade of birthday cakes!  We are also honored to be joining this family again later this year when they will be celebrating Breanne's wedding in June.
