Your wedding.
True to you.
We've been in the room for hundreds of Chicago's most celebrated wedding days. The one thing every single one had in common wasn't the flowers or the venue — it was the feeling. The way the couple was completely present. The way their people felt included in something real. That's what we build toward, every time.

The Wedding
Party Edit.
Planning a bachelorette shouldn't feel like a second job. And being someone's MOH shouldn't keep you up at night. We built a suite of services specifically for the wedding party — led by Alexis, who has been in more wedding parties than she can count and genuinely loves every single one.
"The MOH deserves just as much support as the bride. We're here to give it to her."
Led by Alexis Hutson

Alexis Hutson
Senior Event Planner · The Wedding Party EditAlexis has been in the wedding party more times than she can count — and every single time, she watched the MOH quietly stressed, the bridesmaids drowning in group chats, and the bachelorette planning falling through the cracks. So she built a service to fix it.
With over 6 years in event planning and a deep love for the pre-wedding chaos that nobody talks about, Alexis specializes in making the wedding party feel as celebrated and supported as the couple.
