Working with Melissa and Ryan was about as fun as it gets!  Melissa has a super fun, up beat personality so we got along swimmingly from day one!  There were two things Melissa was beyond excited about…..her wedding dress (which had her favorite flower embroidered right into the fabric as a white on white pattern) and the color purple which she rocked with purple shoes, sunglasses and decor!

Melissa and Ryan got married on June 19, 2010 at Kenilworth Union Church.  They couldn’t have asked for a better day.  It had been raining a lot in the Chicagoland area the weeks leading up to their big day.  Needless to say we were thrilled  that the sun was shinning on them all day. 

They were both a lot of fun and seemed extremely relaxed which helped them to really enjoy their wedding day!  Melissa wore a pair of absolutely fabulous purple peep-toe pumps that  fit her overall style and personality! 

A Stem Above  went above and beyond capturing their style with the floral and decor.  Their reception was held at The Evanston Golf Club; the food, service and environment were exceptional. 

This spectacular place card table was the first thing guests saw as they entered the reception.  A Stem Above did a great job creating such a bold focal point. 

Windy City Cakes custom created this wedding cake for Melissa.  The pattern reflected the print of Melissa’s dress which is also her favorite flower.    Not only did it look great but the flavors were excellent as well.  I don’t think there was any leftover!

The dance floor was packed all night long thanks to DJ Ryan from Style Matters.  Melissa, Ryan and all their friends and family barely left the dance floor which really made for a great party with lots of energy. 

I really enjoyed working with Melissa and Ryan as well as getting to know their fantastic families along the way.  Clementine wishes them all the best!
