Alexandra & Chad’s Red-Hot and Personalized Wedding
Unconventional, intentional and bursting with love, Alexandra (“Alex”) and Chad’s wedding was the full-on love-fest they’d always dreamed of. Every detail was handpicked to make sure guests not only felt completely adored, but also got a front-row seat to the magic between these two.
From the moment guests stepped onto the ceremony grounds at Ignite Glass Studios, they were met with meaningful touches. Handwritten love notes from the couple and coffee pick-me-ups from a Viator Coffee Co. cart kicked things off on a sweet (and caffeinated) note.
After the vows and the first happy tears, guests headed to Orso’s Restaurant for a high-spirited celebration, complete with live saxophone and funky beats. The cozy Italian venue, full of old-school charm, set the scene for a dinner party like no other. In true Alex-and-Chad fashion, even the tablecloths told a story. Instead of traditional white linens, the tables were dressed with red-doodled coverings filled with playful illustrations and inside jokes, giving guests a peek into their love story.
To make the evening even more memorable, each guest went home with a custom tie clip or lipstick, live-engraved by XO Art & Design. With open seating and room to roam, guests mingled their way through Orso’s charming rooms and patio, soaking up the laid-back, social atmosphere the couple love so much.
And the sweetest tradition of all? Alex and Chad now have a standing reservation at Orso’s Restaurant every May 31st to toast to their love in the very place they said “I do,” After all, love (and pasta) this good deserves to be celebrated year after year.
