The Road to Marriage

JULY 1, 2023

So how in the world are you supposed to plan a weekend full of engaging events? Welcome Party Why you want one: Usually held on Thursday, or Friday after the rehearsal dinner (presuming your wedding is on a Saturday), a welcome party is a perfect event to host out-of-town guests and/or family and friends you haven’t seen in a while.

Most couples know that when they get engaged, there are generally two events they are responsible for planning for their wedding weekend: the rehearsal dinner (if a family member isn’t planning it for them!) However, in recent history, a third event has become a staple of many wedding weekends: the welcome party.

Marek is a fan of architecture, so we brought in touches of the Mont La Salle building details into the stationery design, constructed a custom seating display (in the style of one of their fav Chicago hangouts), and upgraded the reception chairs to something a bit more modern. We had food at all of our weekend events.

I wanted my wedding to be classy and elegant with a reception that reflected my personal style (without overdoing it). I’m very particular about color, so I chose custom paint colors for the bars that I designed for our reception. As an event planner, I believe you should never have a sea of rounds in a space.
