Committed Wedding Show Recap

Just over a month ago, the Chicago Green Wedding Alliance put on its first wedding show...Committed. A lot of work went into the show, and we can't wait to plan the second one next year. Thanks to Cage and Aquarium Productions and to Julia Franzosa Photography for these great pictures of our display.

First wedding show of 2011!

Ah, winter. Your arrival is marked by sometimes beautiful (mostly gray and muddy) snow, an onslaught of Etsy shops we like to promote to you on our Facebook page for your holiday shopping (it's fun because it's like shopping without spending any money!) and our participation in a wedding show or two!

This year, the first will be the "Love at Breathtaking Heights" show in the Sears Tower (ok, ok! Willis Tower) at the Metropolitan Club on January 7th starting at 5:30pm. This is a tre chic show, so put your fancy pants on for this one:

We will be there with our friend Nina from Tweedle Press to debut our hybrid flat printed/letterpress printed style we've been cooking up. It'll be worth the visit!
See you there!

Indie Wed

Ok all you groovy brides and bridegrooms... come on up to Ravenswood on the 30th and check out IndieWed! I have a pretty good feeling this aint gonna be yo mamma's wedding show!


Of course you will see our smiling faces with our friends from Green Paper Company. They are our friends for obvious reasons- a) they are awesome for inviting us to share their booth 2) we love their paper, and well, iii) they are kind of championing the way for environmentally friendly papers that are not just the speckled grayish brownish "look at me, I'm recycled" paper stock (although, not that there's anything wrong with that!). We heart post-consumer waste.


AND quite possibly what I'm looking forward to the most is being in the coolest building on Ravenswood Avenue. I have to admit, I am a sucker for those warehouse buildings on Ravenswood. In my past life of taking the train into downtown for my 9 to 5 job everyday, one of my favorite turns on the brownline trek south was passing by that really awesome building with the large glass full height atrium rising above the other warehouses (that is, if I was still awake at this point). This, ladies and gentlemen, is where we will be, at the Ravenswood Event Center. At the time, I didn't know what it was, just that it was an architectural gem. In a way, it's kind of a poetic gesture, a pat on the back.... yes Amanda, quiting your job as an architect to design wedding invitations has many MANY perks- and here's one of them, ata' girl.

See you there Saturday!
