Greatest Expectations Special Events & Weddings, Inc.

The newest “it” website in the Chicago wedding world is Wedobo, and is sort of the Groupon of weddings, if you will. Every day, Wedobo offers one exclusive deal from one local wedding business, giving you the chance to save on every facet of the big day and direct access to the best vendors in town. Wedobo breaks down like this: WED and OBO. Wed is short for wedding…and obo is “or best offer.” It’s fun to say, too! It is pronounced like this: wed-doh-boh. Rolls right off the tongue.

Since the website recent launch they’ve offered some fantastic deals from a groom’s cake to welcome goodie bags for your guests to Wedding 101 classes. If you haven’t checked it out yet, get on over to wedobo.com!

This week’s deal – a $147 Ultimate Beach Body Makeover, a $295 value!

Our friends at Bella Bridesmaid just announced they are providing dress fittings at the launch party for Cynthia Rowley’s new bridesmaids collection!

There will be passed champagne,  models showcasing the new collection and of course, your favorite Bella girls on hand to answer questions and assist with fittings, if necessary. The dresses are really wonderful.  You may even want one for yourself (think bridal shower or rehearsal dinner!).

Please RSVP to chicagoevents@cynthiarowley.com and mention Bella Bridesmaid if you plan to attend.

As some of you may recall, we gave away a beautiful Ribbon Broach a few months ago as part of our “While Drinking a Glass of Champagne” interview with Susan from The Left Bank Jewelry and Shoes.  It just so happened, that the lucky winner had a broach themed wedding!  Sarah got married in downtown Chicago and was extremely creative with her use of broaches.

It was so thoughtful of Sarah to send me a picture her beautiful bridal bouquet with the broach attached.  I really love all of their pictures, so if you want to see more check out her photographer, Janie Lucille Yoder’s blog. I think you will be happy you did!

Thank you Sarah for sharing these beautiful images with us. You were a radiant bride!

If you have been following the eleven eleven WEDDING Giveaway then you will be thrilled to know they have announced their winner!!  The top three finalists arrived at ZED451 on Tuesday evening for an exciting evening of cocktails, socializing and the big announcement! Head on over to read all the details!

We have been so honored to be part of the eleven eleven WEDDING Giveaway.  Being in the company of the other sponsors is humbling and thrilling! Now we get to help a wonderful couple plan the wedding of their dreams.  Even though that is what we do every day it is still pretty darn exciting!

Katherine and I also wanted to give an extra special thank you to Aga and Frankie from Mario Tricoci for helping us look glamorous for the big night!  You ladies are so talented and simply amazing!!
