On Saturday November 26th, 2011 we had the pleasure of working with Eugene + Mia Cuttitta at their Lockport Wedding reception which took place at DiNolfos Banquets.
The theme for this Lockport Wedding was peacock.   From the table centerpieces to the bridemaid’s dresses; each element carefully planned to fit this unique theme.  The vibrant shades of blue LED lights also dressed the room to fit the theme as well.  This was our first time seeing a peacock wedding and we must say it was quite impressive!  Mia even made it a point to have us play the song “Peacock” by Katy Perry for her bouquet toss!  So fun!

Check out Eugene + Mia’s Lockport Wedding Video below to get a front row seat to all the exciting festivities that took place that night!  There was even a Michael Jackson impersonator.  Not everyday you get to see that at a wedding!

Jacob + Hilary were married in the beautiful Orland Park Christian Reformed Church in Orland Park, Illinois on November 25th, 2011.  Immediately following the ceremony their guests were invited to the DiNolfos banquet hall in Homer Glen for an exciting time of celebration.
Jacob + Hilary’s wedding had a harvest theme which incorporated lots of warm colors like burnt orange and brown into the mix.  It was totally unique and really brought the Aspen Room to life!  The table centerpieces even played into their theme with harvest colored flowers in a decorative pumpkin vase surrounded by gourds.   Catherine’s Garden did a remarkable  job incorporating the flowers with the given color palate.  To get a sneak peak into this Homer Glen Wedding be sure to check out the Nydam’s Jam Cam Video below.  This video will give you a front row ticket to all the festivities!

Christian and Tracy Bugal’s wedding day was a celebration of love, commitment and all the goodness that surrounds this beautiful couple.  Their wedding day began with an afternoon wedding ceremony which took place on the beautiful confines of St. Rita Church in Chicago, Illinois.  Everything was picture perfect, including the weather which was a beautiful sunny day with a high of 65.  I don’t think one could ask for a better fall day! :)

Once the ceremony was complete, Christian and Tracy invited their guests to join them for a time of celebration at the Double Tree Hotel in Alsip, Illinois, one of the area’s most elite banquet facilities!  The staff at the Double Tree worked wonders in preparing the room and it acted as a perfect blank slate for their rich burgundy and amber wedding colors.  Tracy even had a production company come in and provide custom linen drapes which were lit up with amber LEDs.  The room looked amazing!  In fact, it was quite fun listening to the guests talk about how much they loved the layout and decor of the banquet hall as they entered the room.

Check out Christian & Tracy’s Alsip Wedding Video below.  This video will give you a front row ticket into the evening’s festivities including a pan of the room layout, the wedding introductions,  the first dances and even a few rowdy crowd shots!  LOVE IT!!
