Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.

Something Borrowed Blooms

  • Florist
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Paw Paw, IL

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

The process of using something borrowed blooms was so easy. I loved that the flowers could be reused and that I wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would just be thrown away! They included the return label in the box with the flowers they shipped out, which was great because we did not have a printer at our destination wedding. All of our flowers were fake because I was also worried about the heat wilting our flowers. I only rented bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and a dog collar- but I wish I had rented my centerpieces as well! Amazing experience with SBB all around!

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

I started communicating with Tom less than two months before our wedding date because I had a moment of panic and realized I would regret not having video at our wedding. I am so grateful that our weekend was one of the few weekends in June he was not booked. Tom was so easy to work with, and the shots that he got were amazing! My husband really wanted to prioritize photos over video, so we communicated that to Tom and he let our photographers take the lead on everything without getting in their way, but at the same time he didn’t miss any important shots. He also helped to capture the first look prank that I had pulled on my husband with his best man in a wedding dress, that was featured in the one minute teaser he sent us the day after the wedding. It. Was. Incredible. I didn’t actually get to see the prank because I had to hide for our actual first look, so I’m so glad Tom captured it on video it was just so funny. It also rained in the middle of our ceremony so we ended up getting married in a downpour, and the slow motion shots that Tom got of me and my husband kissing in the rain brought tears to my eyes. People always tell you that your wedding day will be a whirlwind and it’s over before you know it, but you don’t truly appreciate that until you’re in the moment. Then it’s midnight and it’s over and you wonder how the whole day just passed in the blink of an eye! We cannot wait to see the final edited video that Tom puts together for us. There was so much on the front end of things, people’s emotions, etc that I didn’t get to see as the bride walking down the aisle last. Deciding last minute to hire a videographer was one of the best decisions I made during this whole wedding planning process because now we have the opportunity to relive our wedding day! Tom also sent us all his raw video footage a week after the wedding and it has been so fun to basically enjoy our own wedding day from our guests’ perspective! I found Tom because he was the videographer at a friend’s wedding and she highly recommended him. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a wedding videographer in the future!

When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

I used One Salon & Bridal for my wedding day hair and make up for me and 15 others! Everybody at One Salon & Bridal was extremely helpful and communicative!! From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like.

Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

We first came across DJ Obie at our very good friends wedding. It didn't take long before I ran behind the DJ booth for his information so he could DJ our wedding a few months later. DJ Obie is the biggest hype man and his energy level is unmatched. He is so easy to work with and very accommodating. He made us feel like we were the biggest event he had planned for the year and that he was just as excited to work with us as we were with him. This is a DJ that truly loves what he does and truly enjoys making other people's visions come to life. Not only did we love him, our wedding guests couldn't get enough of him. He is the perfect balance of energy and intimacy if you are looking for a wedding DJ. Do not look any further because you will miss out.

On the big day, she and her talented and detail-oriented team worked tirelessly to capture all of those special moments. Ashley kept me smiling even during some family stress. The beautiful photos she delivered showcase her artistry and really capture the love and joy we felt. I was wowed by her determination to get the perfect shot. Ashley and her crew were consummate professionals and we could not be happier with the gorgeous photos to remember our wedding day!

Funk Almighty performed for our reception last fall and it was an amazing time! The music was great, but what really made them special was the energy and performance they brought with them. Between the choice of songs and the show the put on for us and our guests, we would highly recommend them for anyone looking for top tier entertainment.

At Kiss This Makeup, we believe in the transformative power of beauty. Whether you’re preparing for your wedding day or a special occasion, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and create a look that reflects your unique style and personality. From timeless classics to modern trends, our talented and passionate beauticians are here to bring your vision to life. We offer makeup artistry, hair styling, and beauty assistance with a specialized team for all special events covering South & Central Florida, Dallas, along with Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Kiss This Makeup did a WONDERFUL job with my wedding hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for my wedding party. I have very fine, straight hair that has a difficult time holding a curl, but Jenna Marie was so open-minded and willing to work with me on finding solutions that would work well for me. My hair help up for the entire wedding (including through Hurricane Helene!!) and was so beautiful. I was unsure what I was looking for as my hairstyle, but Jenna helped me narrow down my options and advised based on my face shape, dress, and overall vibe of the wedding. My makeup was so beautiful, and didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all and left me with no breakouts! It lasted the entire day and looks beautiful in my photographs. Jenna and Nicole also did the hair and makeup of my wedding party, and everyone was in love with their looks, and looked great the whole day. KTM was very flexible when I last minute had a family member ask if they could get their makeup done, and the team was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate her. Additionally, we have many LGBTQ members of our wedding party, and KTM was nothing but lovely and welcoming to all. They really went above and beyond, and I have never felt so beautiful in my whole life. I will never forget how special and stunning KTM made me feel for the entire getting-ready process, and how well-organized they were, which left me feeling no stress about how the getting-ready part of the day would go, and also feeling confident that everyone would look great throughout the entire event. I would highly recommend Kiss This Makeup to anyone who is looking for the best service and stunning results for their wedding or any event. Much love!!
