These two will make you smile. They are fun, witty, and were SUCH troopers with the cold and snow on their Wedding day. Vikki and I bonded over our same name and love for Winter. I love how they walked down the aisle together at the beginning of the Ceremony. I love how EXCITED they were during their vows, and how they kept stealing glances at their family and friends. They were so fun to work with, and just JAZZED about everything coming together and celebrating!
They wanted a winter wonderland for their Wedding day, and they got it! The Nature Museum served as a very unique and beautiful spot to hold their vows and celebration. Please read the Q&A with the Couple for some great stories, and then take a look at some photos!
Looking back, what were some of your favorite parts or moments of the Wedding day?
The first look was my favorite, by far. I also loved the photos at the Sears Tower. -Larry
Driving in the limo, pics on the beach….AND getting to see the dining room for the first time….empty…Stunning….Let’s not forget peering over the balcony watching the guests get settled…
What was your favorite piece of fashion or accessory, and where did you get it?
My gown…consignment shop in MA, Clever Bride…it perfectly fit the dream I had envisioned…..
What was the inspiration for your decor or styling?
Love Stories….Getting married on Valentine’s Day was not only our day but our guests’ day…we wanted them to enjoy their Valentine’s Day by making it special for everyone….And added some fun with the trivia quizzes…
Mention a funny moment here:
Warming up in the Limo (getting the feeling back in our feet) after being outside taking pictures. By far, the push up contest as tie-breaker for the trivia quiz!
Any wedding advice for engaged couples?
Relax and enjoy the day. Enjoy the moment. Try to remember everything. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance…AND get a wedding planner AND a fabulous photographer….Planning ahead allows for everything to be addressed before the big day and allows you to enjoy the day…beginning to end!
Tell us about the honeymoon!
Honeymoon currently in the planning stages but looking like a trip to England, Amsterdam and Italy sometime in late August!
“Thanks again for all your help in making our day super, duper special. You all were super knowledgeable, prepared, creative AND fun!” – Vikki and Larry
