A little Southern charm, a little Italian summer energy, and a Chicago backdrop that somehow made it all feel effortlessly cool. 💙💚✨ This celebration was layered with rich color, thoughtful texture, candlelight, incredible food, and the kind of warm hospitality that makes guests settle in and stay awhile. Elegant without feeling stiff. Refined without losing the fun. Exactly the kind of atmosphere we love creating at MDE. Think Southern charm meets dinner party meets summer night magic. 🥂 Photo: @collinpierson Decor: @erinmcdonaldco Location: @chicagoilluminatingcompany Linens: @ziadelma Printed Items: @hannahhandmade Catering: @bokacateringchicago Planning: @mdurpettievents Entertainment: @beatmixchicago

Signore & Signori (that’s 🇮🇹 Italiano for Ladies & Gents,) Allow me to introduce the dream team here in this post. One of the greatest lessons this industry has taught me over time is just how important the people surrounding our clients truly are. After years of producing weddings and celebrations in all kinds of places, I’ve learned exactly the kind of energy I want in the room, and on event day: collaborative, creative, calm under pressure, solution oriented, kind, wildly talented, and deeply respectful of one another and of the client experience. Throw in a little humor and a sick dance move and it’s a banner day. 👌🏼 This team comes together time and again with incredible synergy, motivation, trust, and a shared commitment to creating something meaningful. And honestly? The result is not only spectacular for our couples, it makes the process genuinely fun for me too. Rain may have arrived, but so did flexibility, laughter, creativity, and a whole lot of heart. What could have felt stressful instead became one more reminder that the right team changes everything.✨ Without further ado, thank you to the following people for filling a rainy day with bright moments for our bride and groom and for me too.🤍 Media: a @laviavisual collaborative including: Photography: @collinpierson @kentdrakephoto Video: @mirarweddings @iamphilipe @jorge__camargo @jpdavid90 Content Creation: @weddingdaycontentcreator Planning: @mdurpettievents @behindthemde @joybertagna @cmrebollo

There is something about a North Shore summer night that just lands differently, if you’re from Chicago you just know. This one started with the groom’s family opening their private estate for the celebration, which immediately grounded the entire experience. Personal, layered, and real from the start. From there, the bride brought in her Moroccan heritage in the most beautiful way; Rich textures, warmth, and depth that guided the design without ever feeling literal. And she has such style too so she was a blast to collaborate with. ✨ We were intentional with this one, and the couple trusted the team we built 100%. On the list: sophisticated neutrals, a very residential feel, and a subtle Casablanca influence layered into a custom tent that needed to feel completely at home on the property. It was such a joy to be part of! Nothing forced. Nothing overdone…Just a space that felt like them. A color palette that I’m still obsessed with, tons of cool texture everywhere, and just a hint of Casablanca influence to create mood, not theme. All of it unfolding inside the tent that truly upped the vibe to the next level, nestled in the trees of the estate. Delightful 🤩 The result was not about one look or one idea, but a vibe. It felt like them and reflected them and that’s the joy in what we do isn’t it? For me, there is always something so special when a celebration starts with a place that already holds meaning. That’s why I think venue selection is so important! I just loved this one and am so happy and joyful to see this couple living their beautiful lives ✨ Thank you Soumaya and Winslow for your trust, and for having us be a small part of your beautiful lives 🥰 📸 @collinpierson Decor: @hmrdesigns Lighting: @frostchicago Rentals: @nuagedesignsinc @thefestivefrog Cake: @flourishcakedesign Invitations, paper, signage: @smittenboutiqueshop Catering: @nicheandcoevents Tent: @proemevents Transportation: @vipvaletservices

A scouting trip with @_eleganteweddingsandevents and a pocket of time for an engagement session worked right in. This is why I love these sessions. We get real time together, no wedding day pressure, a different kind of editorial feel that is more relaxed and more you. It is also where we figure out rhythm, movement, and what feels natural before the big day. And when the backdrop is @castelfalfi it does not get much better.
