Greatest Expectations Special Events & Weddings, Inc.

Ashley and Michael sure know how to have a good time because this was one lively party!!

I am blown away by the amazing photography taken by Dayna Schroeder.  She has such a magical eye.  It never hurts to have a wedding party willing to take some risks … These pictures are so edgy and creative!

Ashley wanted to pull together some unique color combinations including gold, yellow, orange and peach … I think everything came together beautifully!

One of my favorite things was the guest favors.  They decided to make a donation to charity instead of giving gifts to the guests, but the twist was allowing the guests to pick their charity out of the couple’s favorite three.  I am in love with this idea!!  It is a great way to honor your guests and give back to the community!

The very cool cake came from Alliance Bakery. They always do an outstanding job!

We carried the paisley motif and their monogram throughout the entire event, including the fantastic lighting done by Chicago Lighting Design.

Coming in a future post will be some video footage taken by the always exceptional Poetic Productions (we are still working on the video blog end of things).

We want to wish Ashley and Michael a heartfelt congratulations and we thank you for allowing Greatest Expectations to be part of your special day!
