theyOh. My.
There are no words to describe Carolyn and Chris! They are such beautiful people, and it only makes sense because their families are equally as amazing. They are the perfect match made in heaven, or rather, the perfect match made in the air. Almost literally, y'all! (I may have spent too much time talking with this sweet Southern transplant!)

Chris and Carolyn happen to work for the same airline and somehow their paths crossed as Carolyn's plane landed in Baltimore. Thank goodness for that!! They were both sporting Packer lanyards and struck up a brief, yet memorable conversation before parting ways only to run into each other again that day! Carolyn left a note for Chris that said "Go Pack Go" and that may have sealed the deal. I'm sensing an underlying Packers theme here! Chris found her on Facebook and they carried on their conversations until they finally had a first date in Denver, CO. 

Chris, originally from the East Coast, and Carolyn, originally from the West Coast, now live in the great state of Texas. So what's a couple to do when their families are on opposite sides of the county? Get married in Wisconsin, of course! Their mutual love of the Packers, and the "more" convenient, midwest Wisconsin destination meant a small, but mighty group of East- and West-coasters would descend on glorious Lambeau Field. We think they made a great choice!

Their busy schedules, compounded by living out of state, meant that they needed some help. After a last minute meet-up for coffee while they were in town to tour their venues, we set off to help them outline their budgetary priorities and come up with some fantastic design ideas. After that, we met monthly via video across the country to help them progress through their planning checklist. We lined up the best wedding professionals to pull off one fantastic celebration! Take a look below!

Carolyn and Chris, we wish you endless years of celebration and you can be sure, we'll be cheering right along with you during every season of your marriage! Much love to you from Wisconsin!

1. Lose the Nerves – If you’re a very emotional, jittery person then you may want to consider this option. Couples feel more at ease when they get to see each other before the ceremony. They’ll also be less distracted and can share an intimate moment together. Having some quiet time alone gives the couple a chance to reflect on the day and what’s to come. These moments together will be nice as you may not get many of these later on.

2. Special Gifts – If you decided to give each other gifts, this could be a great time to exchange them. Plus, you get to see your significant other’s reaction! 
​
3. More Time – Having a first look allows you more time to take photos together before the ceremony instead of having to take them all after the ceremony. This will also give you more time to interact with your guests during cocktail hour.

1. Parent / Wedding Party First Look – We’re a sucker for these types of first looks. When a parent, sibling, or best friend get to see you all dressed up for the first time on your wedding day the moment can be so magical.

2. First Look Without All Accessories – You can still do a first look, but by not having all your accessories on (veil, special jewelry, etc.) you can still surprise your significant other at the altar.
​
3. First Read / Touch – Have a special, intimate moment together before the ceremony without seeing each other by doing a first reading or touch. Go back to back or be around the corner from each other so you can talk, touch, and listen to each other before your wedding.
