On March 31, 2012, Matt and Deana tied the knot in Libertyville, IL. They are a wonderful couple and Chad and I couldn't be more happy for them! We were certainly blessed that day by so many genuine friends and incredibly tight-knit family members sharing in celebration of life & love. There was plenty of laughter in the air, loads of dancing on the floor (even dance-offs!), and crafty hand-made details that creatively completed their "old classic movie" theme.

It's been a few months since their big day, but these photos are DEFinitely worth sharing anyway. Here are some of our favorite highlights from their gorgeous wedding day. Enjoy:

Nope, you're not seeing double—that's Deana's twin sister, Kendal, helping her Mom get Deana all ready for the aisle.

Deana's dress was stunning! It's a Blue by Enzoni gown from A L'Amour Bridal Boutique. Her hair was done by Jessica at Allure Designs in Beauty and her make-up artist was Ann Swanson.

Meanwhile, Matt was getting all spiffed up at the church. Stud!

Matt and Deana decided to do a "first look" with each other before the ceremony. We had Matt waiting outside the church and Deana came out to surprise him so they could share a moment together before the wedding. I can't get over their sweet candid expressions that exude love for one another. You sure can't re-create these kind of moments!

"Turn around so I can see!" :)

Their ceremony took place at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Libertyville, IL.

Priceless!

Let the party begin...

Wedding Party: Alicia (friend of the bride), Danielle (cousin of the bride), Kendal (the Matron of Honor and Deana's twin sister), Steve (brother-in-law), Kyle (cousin of the bride) and Frank (Best Man and friend of the groom)

The Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, IL where their reception was held made for a beautiful backdrop for the wedding party.

The flowers were arranged by Krystn of Libertyville Florist and the bridesmaids' dresses came from ModCloth.com.

I love these! So sweet.

Here are just a few of Deana's many hand-made crafy details that completed the theme at their wedding.

Sara, from Lovin' Oven Cakery did a wonderful job on this pretty cake! It was very tasty, too.

Kendal and Frank both gave heart-warming, humorous toasts to the Mr. & Mrs. Also, I love the shot below of Deana with her Grandmothers!

First dance, dance with Dad, dance with Mom....lots of dancing all around!
