Before Meets After
I am so excited to launch my redesigned website. Let me start off by saying that I am not a graphic designer, nor do I have any inkling of knowledge of web design. Thus, I hired my friend Amy Olchowski of AEO Design. Let me tell you about Amy. She is a graphic designer who lives in Chicago, and owns her own business, a graphic design firm called AEO Design. The work I have seen for some of her wedding invites and save-the-dates are to die for! Seriously, she is amazing at what she does and is so great at helping someone like me, who has no artistic ability when it comes to graphic design and websites, create a website that embodies everything js weddings and events is. All the hard work and countless hours she spent on it really show and I could not be any happier. Check it out below in picture form:

My Best Friend’s Bridal Shower
October 8, 2011
Carolyn and I had the fun honor of planning our dear friend Lis’ shower. It was a casual and simple shower with a small group of her close friends. We had the shower on an early fall morning, outside on my parent’s deck, with the bright sun, crisp air and the falling leaves. And, the occasional falling acorn or nut!
Carolyn and I had quite the adventures making the invites, buying the food, and realizing that mimosas have champagne, not vodka, in them. But, overall, it was a success and a great way to spend the morning in honor of my best friend.
Just in case you are thinking what are these… they are caramel apple music notes! The theme of the shower was vintage music.
