I love when both couples both take part in the planning process and have things they want to share with each other, and their guests. From the moment we had our first call and shared our Chicago loves (hello Mariano’s!) I knew that Cali and Shane’s Michigan Barn Wedding would be one of my favorites.

If there’s one trend that comes out of planning during these unique years, I hope it’s having your wedding on a Tuesday. I also loved Amy’s mirror moment framed with flowers by Linnae Floral.

Lauren and Nathan’s private backyard wedding at a glance, looks like a gardenesque affair you would find between the pages of Vogue. You would never know the yo-yo of decisions that went on behind the scenes, and it just goes to show that no matter what, your love will always be the cover page in your wedding story.

Intimate backyard weddings became more of the norm over the last couple of years - and we are here for it! It allows for the couple to create something so personal and memorable, which is what Katie and Ryan achieved.
