It’s 2016 and we are coming to terms with the fact that we are not great bloggers! We instead invite you to visit us over at Instagram to keep up to date on weddings, shoots, new inventory, our favorite cocktails and restaurants around the city and sometimes our little ones! Come hang with us! We were thrilled when the folks at deliciously yummy Hendrick’s Gin asked us to set up and style some lounges for their annual party in Chicago at Galleria Marchetti last month! Lovely photos of our pieces by the amazing Jill Tiongco. Loving these images from a feature on Ruffled Blog yesterday! Such a fun group of vendors to work with. We LOVED working with Janell and Joe for their summer soiree at A New Leaf. Photographed by the amazing Oriana Koren, their wedding just went up on The Knot!

When Ari from HeartilyWed and Chykalophia Design contacted us to participate in this Milwaukee shoot we were so excited! We have done a few weddings in Wisconsin and were thrilled to collaborate with some Wisconsin vendors. It turned out wonderfully, as you can see from the gorgeous photos by Wojoimage Photography, and was published on The Perfect Palette this week. The Perfect Palette is a lovely blog that we wish we had known about when we got married! You select a color on the right hand side of the blog and get to see tons of weddings and shoots in that range. Take a peek at the color palette they created from the Plamingo Shoot!

Our Photo Studio, giant Classic games, Hot Chocolate/Apple Cider Bar, fresh Chicago Mix Popcorn Cart, smaller inflatable games, and so much more are perfect to liven up indoor events. But we could never skip on the basic essentials for most outdoor parties by offering both canopy & frame tents, tables, chairs, stages, dance floors, generators, and portable bars.
