About August & April Event Designs
August & April Event Designs
August & April is a Chicago-based wedding and event design studio dedicated to creating thoughtful, personal celebrations that feel uniquely yours. August & April was born from a love of the creative details that make a celebration memorable. From romantic garden parties to colorful, modern affairs, we believe the most beautiful weddings are the ones that reflect the people at the center of them. Through custom color palettes, creative direction, floral inspiration, tablescapes, paper goods, and personalized details, we help turn ideas into a cohesive vision. Whether you have a Pinterest board overflowing with inspiration or are starting from scratch, we're here to make the design process feel exciting, fun, and entirely your own.
At August & April, we focus on the creative side of weddings, turning your inspiration into a cohesive vision without the overwhelm of figuring it all out yourself. From color palettes and florals to tablescapes, paper goods, and personal touches, we thoughtfully bring every detail together through a custom wedding style guide. Unlike traditional wedding planners, we specialize in design, giving you dedicated creative guidance without the commitment or cost of full-service planning. Whether you have a hundred Pinterest photos saved or no idea where to start, we make creating a wedding that feels uniquely yours easy, exciting, and fun.
In three words: Creative, Fun, Thoughtful
