Understated Elegance: A Historic Mansion Wedding

Planned by Meagan, Real Wedding

April 30, 2026

Isabel and Craig

Wrigley Mansion

December 2nd, 2023

Planning with Isabel was nothing short of a dream, mostly because she had her vision (and most of her vendors!) locked in before she even had the ring on her finger. She knew it was coming, and she wasn’t about to miss out on her favorites. With her parents being members of Wrigley Mansion and having grown up just minutes away, the venue was a no-brainer. It was the perfect backdrop for the timeless, meaningful celebration she imagined for her and Craig.

Because Isabel hired us for the entire wedding weekend, we had the joy of curating two completely different experiences that felt equally “them.” The welcome party kicked things off at her parents’ home with a vibrant Mexican Fiesta, color everywhere, papel picado fluttering overhead, and even a beer burro making an appearance. It was playful, welcoming, and full of personality.

Then came the wedding day: a chic, classic, forever-timeless design. Crisp whites and greens complemented the historic beauty of Wrigley Mansion, creating a look she knew she’d still swoon over decades from now. Understated, elegant, and beautifully intentional, exactly what she wanted.

One of my favorite discoveries? Craig once won a childhood contest and became the official face of Kraft Mac & Cheese. (Yes, that blue box.) We couldn’t resist weaving this fun fact into the festivities, so we used Kraft boxes as part of the welcome party centerpieces. Quirky, adorable, and such a perfect nod to their story, it was a detail no one will forget.
