Jason and Shannon chose The Conservatory in St. Charles for their wedding venue on June 5. The Conservatory is gorgeous, it’s filled with live plants and flowers, so you can have a garden wedding anytime of years, plus there are brick paths in the back for outdoor photos when it’s warmer. Until about 2 months (or so) ago, they lived in Arizona, so Shannon planned almost everything long distance. She did a great job, everything was so beautiful. The colors were black and silver with brightly colored flowers (a gorgeous combo :). Their son, daughter, niece and nephew were the flower girls and ring bearers and were so adorable! The wedding party was a lot of fun, everyone was great to work with. Thank you both for the opportunity to be part of your wedding day!!

FYI, if you have hesitant or shy little ones in the ceremony – someone at the end of the aisle with a bag of candy is a genius idea 🙂

The man who coordinates weddings at The Conservatory is so nice, and seems to love what he does even though they have hundreds of weddings every year:

The DJ was Matt B. of Fullhouse Productions – he was awesome!! AND, they offer a full list of services, including laser light shows


Love, love, love (did I say love?) SPARKLERS!!!
