Kelli and Paul Taylor
Kelli and Paul’s ceremony and reception took place at the fabulous and unique location, A New Leaf.
The atmosphere was relaxed as guests arrived and were greated by iced tea and lemonade in mason jars with a welcome note attached from Kelli and Paul. The intimate ceremony took place at six o’clock as the rain held out so their dream of a garden wedding could come true.
Kelli and Paul created their menu from scratch working with Michael Meuer at Blue Plate Catering. It included a mashed potato bar, classic fried chicken and a satay bar where guests could chose from a variety of sides such as lo mein noodles or fried rice; all presented in mini to go containers. There were also surprises throughout the night with wedding cupcakes, mini cheeseburgers and mini milkshakes passed on the dance floor. Lynne Jordan and the Shivers kept people hopping on the dance floor all night.
Kelli and Paul’s outgoing and fun personalities shone throughout their entire wedding weekend starting with a brunch at Lake Forest’s beach in the rain, after party at the local bar across the street from A New Leaf and bagels on Sunday at the Hotel Indigo in the Gold Coast of Chicago.
