A Modern, Elegant, and Eclectic Wedding: Frankie and Pat's Unforgettable Celebration
We had the pleasure of planning Frankie and Pat's Chicago wedding from afar since the couple live in Naples, FL. This bubbly couple, known for their laughter and deep love for each other, envisioned a modern, elegant, and eclectic celebration.
Their unique vision allowed us to create a venue within the venue, incorporating personalized elements and fashion-forward details. Join us as we take you through the highlights of Frankie and Pat's unforgettable wedding day.
A Love Story for the Ages:
Frankie and Pat's meet story is as charming as their wedding day. They first crossed paths at The French in Naples, where their bartender friend orchestrated a serendipitous encounter. With their parents coincidentally present, the night unfolded with conversations and laughter.
Pat and Frankie soon found themselves alone, hopping between bars, and sharing a cheeseburger. Despite the long-distance challenge that followed, their love persevered, and they eventually moved in together when COVID-19 struck.
A Proposal to Remember:
In one of their favorite getaway spots, Sarasota, Pat chose a playful and meaningful way to propose. Placing the ring in a bowl of fries, he popped the question, solidifying their love story with a touch of whimsy and romance.

Creating a Unique Venue:
To bring the couple's vision to life, we focused on their impeccable fashion sense. Frankie looked absolutely stunning in her custom dress by @dominiclacquaniti, while Pat donned a perfectly tailored suit. To set the tone, disco balls took center stage, serving as a captivating ceiling focal point. Our team crafted a minimalist and modern design using white roses and sleek custom seating, achieving a chic and contemporary atmosphere.
On select tables, individual white roses lined the communal tables, adding a touch of minimalism. Notably, Frankie insisted on custom seating arrangements, opting for a mix of communal high tops, intimate square high top seating for four, and traditional table seating. A blend of white and black table colors, along with black and ghost chairs, added to the eclectic vibe.
Unique Personalized Elements:
Frankie's custom-made dress became an instant highlight of the wedding, showcasing her individuality and style. Working closely with Revel Decor, we provided custom tables and seating, ensuring every element was tailored to the couple's desires. We also created inviting lounge settings outside the venue, where guests could relax and enjoy the dinner. As a charming touch, petite disco balls accompanied each place card, adding a touch of glamour and whimsy to the reception.
