Real Wedding: Beth & Jon

I mentioned Beth & Jon's home wedding last month, when it was featured on Bride Buzz. The couple lives in Chicago and they hired us to plan their charming wedding at Beth's parents' home in Grass Lake.

To say that it rained the week before the wedding would be an understatement. It poured. Buckets. It even poured rain during the early morning hours on the actual wedding day. However, by the time the vendor team began arriving, the sun came out and the ground dried up considerably. We were even able to take down the ceremony tent and give Beth the open-air look that she wanted.

In our 9 years of being in business, we have never had an outdoor wedding rained out. I'm convinced that someone upstairs likes us.

I ❤ Shoes!

I've loved shoes for a long time. My first real job in high school was at a shoe store, and armed with an employee discount, my obsession began. When I moved into the dorm my freshman year of college, I thought my friend was going to lose it when he discovered that the enormous box he just carried up three flights of stairs was filled only with my shoes (and not even all of them!) I'm passing on this fondness to my daughter...when she was only 2, she had more shoes than my husband and two sons combined.

On your wedding day, the shoes you wear is one more way to show off your style - whether they're classic and simple or fun and flirty.
