We are so blessed at MDE to have the pleasure of working with such empowered young women. Our clients are truly the inspiration behind our work and it makes it ever so easy to LOVE our job when the women that we are surrounded by are intelligent, hard working, and successful – and as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside…

Lindsey Pearlman is just such a bride. We are thrilled to be planning her fall 2012 wedding and think she is someone that you should know. Lindsey is an avid animal lover. She owns and operates Sit and Stay Chicago and has been taking care of MDE’s very own Gigi Durpetti for most of her life (Sit and Stay absolutely ROCKS, by the way… We HIGHLY recommend). In addition to owning and operating this business, acting, taking care of her wonderful fiance, Vance, and the other 9,000 things that Lindsey deals with on a daily basis – she speaks for those who have no voice – abused animals. And we have MAD respect for her because of it!

Many of us know what its like to be a bridesmaid; exciting, flattering and all around fun. These facts we found put the experience into perspective through numbers!!!!

64% of brides chose to have their bridesmaids wear the same color, but not our bride Rachel! Having different colored dresses can ensure that your bridesmaids get a color that flatters them.

Tomorrow we have a delightful wedding with what other than a Saint Patrick’s Day theme. We are so excited to watch our lovely couple, Christine & John, walk down the aisle. Congratulations to our happy couple!

We got to thinking and wanted to share some of our fabulous thoughts on how to incorporate green into YOUR special day without going over the top. We love the idea of this delicate green lace dress from Bhldn for your wedding rehearsal. To purchase this dress visit Bhldn.com.

Elizabeth & Eric celebrated their special day in downtown Chicago at ZED451!  Both the wedding ceremony and reception took place at this unique restaurant. Following the ceremony guests enjoyed an intimate cocktail reception on the rooftop of the restaurant while watching the sun set. It was quite a magical night!

Only 5 more days until Brides, Bubbles and Bliss! We are getting SO excited about this one of a kind soiree.

How many of you have been forced to wear (and PAY for) a dress that will eventually end up hanging in the back of your closet? Well do we have a solution for YOU! While reading the newspaper we came across a rather interesting article on how to choose the perfect bridesmaid dress!

.

Our beautiful December 2011 bride, Rachel, was all about letting her bridesmaids choose the dress they wanted to wear on her special day but of course she had a say in the matter! She requested that all of the dresses be a jewel tone. Rachel’s bridesmaids complemented her PERFECTLY.

Happy Valentine’s Day to YOU and your loved ones from the MDE team!

Have you ever been to a wedding ceremony and needed a masseuse afterwards for all the crooks in your neck? Have you had to strain so hard to hear the vows that you wondered if you needed a hearing aid?

Our dear friends Brannon & Michael were married at the historic Union League Club in downtown Chicago this past fall.

.

Brannon was a vision in her Carrafina gown which was purchased at A Joyful Occasion. Michael also looked stunning in his custom tuxedo from Nicholas Joseph.
