🫶 LOVE STORY—“Our ceremony was a beautiful blend of our Gujarati and Tamil traditions,” says bride Rina Madhani of her wedding to Gobie Kumarasamy. 🥂 For the reception, “we opted for a clean, all-white palette,” Rina says. “Our inspiration was about brining everyone together in a space that felt warm and inviting but also polished and classic.” As the founder of — a children’s literacy nonprofit that revitalizes public school libraries— Rina wanted to weave books into the big day. “As a nod to my work and passion for literacy created a custom bookshelf backdrop for our es**rt card,” she says. 📚 “Guests names were listed within books, making it feel like each person was part of our own little library.” // Photography

💎 FROZEN IN TIME— The “frozen fairy tale” inspired wedding of Julie Peterson and Thomas Latrofa warmed our hearts. “It was absolutely love at first sight,” Julie says. “We talked for three hours followed by another two-hour romantic walk around a frozen pond in Glen Ellyn, IL. It was very cold that night, but we remember feeling warm in each other’s presence. We’ll call it the beginning of our frozen fairy tale.” In her wedding day, the bride wore a stunner with handpainted icy gray-blue details that made Thomas tear up during their first look. Wowing guests with the fully immersive “Frozen” theme crafted custom blue archways adorned with florals and greenery, the dance floor was checkered in blue-gray staring ’ 18-piece band, and the famous chandelier hung like icicles dripping from above. ❄️ // Photography

OUI, OUI! 🤍 “Cue the bistro lights, the warm summer breeze, our favorite song—and you found yourself lost in a secret garden of love,” bride Katie Bero says. 🫶The rustic French aesthetic was the perfect destination for couple Katie Bero and Maja Haggstrom to exchange vows honoring their Irish and Presbyterian traditions. “Custom signs and framed anecdotes were sprinkled across the venue, making our voices and stories feel ever-present,” Maja says. 🥂 A family-style dinner in the courtyard was followed by dancing in the barn. “It’s rare you get a moment where everyone you love is in one place,” Katie says. “Just seeing it and taking it in was everything.” // Photography
