Glitter and Glam: Inside Hannalori and Thomas’ Boho Wedding
From the moment Hannalori and Thomas began planning their September wedding at Fairlie, one thing was clear: glitter would be their celebration’s guiding star. This Barbie Bride, with her love for all things sparkly and pink, created a day that shimmered with love and joy.
As a wedding planner at Sarah Kathleen Events herself, Hannalori had long dreamed of her own wedding, and the day was everything she’d hoped for. She enlisted Sarah and Luis of Sarah Kathleen Events to bring her vision to life, transforming Fairlie into a glittering wonderland where love and laughter were at the center of it all.
As guests arrived at Fairlie, an industrial-chic event space in the heart of Chicago, they were greeted by a stunning scene of soft blues and pinks, beautifully complemented by boho-glam decor. The venue’s modern, contemporary vibe provided the perfect backdrop for the couple’s vision, where romance met sparkle in the chicest way.
The ceremony was a heartfelt affair, made even more special by the presence of Moose, the couple’s beloved Yorkie, who served as the ring bearer. Dressed in his own dapper doggie tuxedo, Moose charmed everyone as he trotted down the aisle. To make sure everything went smoothly, Hannalori and Thomas enlisted the help of Wags of Love, a service dedicated to caring for pets on wedding days. With Moose in good hands, the couple could focus entirely on their vows and the promises they were making to each other.
As the day transitioned into the evening, the celebration only grew more vibrant. When it was time to party, the energy was electric. Glow sticks illuminated the dance floor, while blow-up disco balls added a playful touch to the festivities. Guests were treated to a late-night surprise when the Chicago Ice Cream Truck arrived, offering a sweet treat to keep the celebration going well into the night.
From the glittering decor to the joyful atmosphere, Hannalori and Thomas’ wedding at Fairlie was a true reflection of their love story—a celebration that sparkled with happiness, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.
