Kristina is a photographer based in Chicago so when it came to her wedding day, she had a gorgeous vision on how she wanted it all to come together. She did all the stationery items herself and it turned out so beautiful! She used ribbon and wax seals on each menu card and did calligraphy for each guest’s name for their place setting. The wedding photographers were friends of hers that live in Greece and flew in just for the wedding. They spent the days leading up to the wedding with the couple doing fun photo shoots around the city. The groom has a pilot’s license and the photographers even went up in a plane with them!
Kristina is a huge Taylor Swift fan so they chose two Taylor songs for the ceremony processional. Wayne is a James Bond fan, so as a surprise to him, Kristina had a second dress made from the same designer who made the dress from one of the Bond movies and changed into it for dancing. To cap off the reception, they did a grand exit with sparklers and drove away in a vintage car.
Cheers to the happy couple and we are so grateful for these kind words from Kristina.
“We had an incredible experience with Julia and her assistant from Weddings with a Twist! Julia worked with us the month leading up to our wedding - connecting via zoom to go over timelines, contacting vendors on our behalf and just overall be an extra relief! Our wedding day could not have gone any smoother and if you’re considering an event coordinator, definitely recommend Julia and the entire team at Weddings with a Twist!
