When I first met with Jacquilyn about planning her wedding I had no idea what an experience I was in for. Her wedding to Tom was going to have bigger details than any other wedding I had done, but I was up for the challenge. 500 guest invite count…check. Hanging floral installation over the dance floor…check. Not one but two bands…check. Hedge wall display…check. The list goes on and I loved every minute of it.

Tom and Jacquilyn live in Chicago so I worked closely with Jacquilyn’s mother Vera as well. I’ve been lucky to have a lot of super sweet mother/daughter planning duos. Jacquilyn and Vera were no exception. One of my favorite small details of the wedding was that Jacquilyn used her parent’s cake topper on a small anniversary cake next to hers. Those small meaningful details are the best.

This was my second Macedonian wedding I have planned, and I can’t tell you how fun they are! The dancing and the cultural traditions are amazing. It was hard for my girls and I to not jump in with the party.

As stunning and fun as this day was, nothing was more beautiful than seeing these two commit their lives to each other. I am beyond thankful to have been trusted to be apart of such a lovely wedding. Much love and happiness to you J and T
