Ceremony and Reception Site:   Orchard Ridge Pavillion,  Rockton, IlFlorist:  Stems Floral, Rockford, IlPhotographer: Chris TysonVideographer: Le Cape WeddingsLaura's favorite memory from her day: "My favorite memory was when I was able to get the entire dance floor full in honor of a song I had played for my grandmother. A song that means so much that it's tattooed on me!"
Advise for those getting married:  "Don't stress, it'll all fall into place. And hire a videographer!! You'd be amazed how much you miss during the day, and it's so fun to watch it again and share with those not there,"

The Golden Globes 2014 was amazingly diverse in color, fit and style.  The "Gatsby Style" which has ruled the red carpet was still prevalent but sleek and simple are making a comeback.  Here are Laura's picks for the best of the Golden Globes 2014.

1. Lupita Nyong'o - Sleek and perfect and it has a CAPE!

 2.   Emma Watson - A dress that is designed to be worn with pants?   YES!

3.  Mila Kunis - Love this beaded flowing Gatsby inspired look plus her hair and make up are perfection.

4.  Zosia Mamet - This "Girls" star got it right this time.  The white gown with black beadwork is right on trend.  

5.  Cate Blanchett - The nude lining makes the other wise modest dress chic and saucy.

6.  Kate Beckinsale - The mermaid cut beaded gown isn't a big surprise from her but I can't resist how stunning she looks.
