From a timeless downtown gathering to a stylish suburban soiree, every wedding has its own unique ambiance. Here are two memorable examples from 2022 of wonderful couples, great venues, and beautiful florals but with a slightly different vibe. We loved both weddings and couples. Because to us, every wedding is a very personal celebration that creates lasting memories and strengthens bonds of love.
Kelsey and Justin tied the knot at Chicago's historic Old Post Office, with white and pink peonies, roses, and reanunculus to name just a few of their wedding blooms. The stately marble setting and contemporary designs made for an upscale and sophisticated yet romantic tone. What a gorgeous couple and day! (Photos by Noell Adams Photography.
Beth and Todd exchanged their vows at a lovely Christ Church ceremony in Oak Brook, IL following a beautiful reception at the Westin in Lombard. Their florals were also primarily classic white, but with pops of purple at the ceremony, and elements of pink at the reception. With great food and wonderful music by Stitley Orchestra, this wedding was also incredible. And, we're so glad both couples let us play a small part.

With a scenic outdoor vista and gorgeous floral infinity arch as the backdrop, Olivia and Ben exchanged their vows on a beautiful September day at Oak Brook Hills Resort in Oak Brook. Their floral bouquets and decorations featured white Tibet and Playablanca roses, dendrobium orhcids, mini calla lilies, hydrangeas, garden roses, lisianthus, ranunculus, and Starflake spray roses, with stock, snapdragons, and Italian and Israeli ruscus. Their amazing reception included a custom dance floor and custom draping, with special linens, chairs, and candles, a photo both, great food, great music by The Mix, and an impressive late-night cigar selection, too. It was all meticulously panned and coordinated by Ohana Events and captured wonderfully by Marissa Kelly Photography. What a fun couple and a fantastic day! Congratulations Olivia and Ben. Thank you for letting us be a part of your exquisite celebration!

Jennifer and Ryan celebrated their Autumn wedding with a sun-drenched outdoor cermemony and candlelight indoor reception at Cantigny Park and Golf Club in Wheaton. The ceremony was on the East Lawn, with a panoramic view of the picturesque grounds. The reception was at the golf club's Woodside Pavilion. Their floral designs included Pink Porcelain and Quicksand roses, with garden roses, spray roses, lisianthus, stock, snapdragons, rannunculous, waxflower, Italian ruscus, and three different varieties of fresh eucalyptus. Highlights of the day included a morning champagne toast for the bridesmaids, a coreographed father-daughter dance at the reception, and lots of wonderful photos by Rachel Watson Photography. "But the pinnacle moment," according to Rachel, "was capturing Ryan’s reaction as he saw Jen walking down the aisle of the East Lawn." For us, the best part is always the joy of working with each couple to help make their wedding day extra special. Thank you Jen and Ryan; we're so glad you let us be a part of your beautiful wedding, and we know you'll have a lifetime of love and sunshine together.

Thank you EV Photography for sharing these photos from Jen and Jason's June wedding at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Clarendon Hills and Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale, IL. We always enjoy working with everyone at Notre Dame and Ruth Lake, and we especially loved working with this sweet couple, too! For their floral decorations, Jen and Jason selected dusty rose, pink, creamy white, and ivory blossoms, including roses, hydrangeas, and spray roses, with fresh cut greens, such as silver dollar eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, and bay leaves, crowned with glowing clusters of romantic pillar and votive candles throughout their gorgeous reception. Hearts glowed as well, as friends and family celebrated this wonderful couple and their love together. Congratulations Jen and Jason. We were honored to be a part of your beautiful wedding day and look forward to being part of your life together.
Check out these sneak peak photos from Angela and Daniel's amazing wedding in Rosement, IL this month. This sweet couple tied the knot at Mary, Seat of Wisdom Catholic Church, followed by an impressive reception at the Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel. Their florals included Coral Reef and Free Spirit roses, Snowflake spray roses, peach stock, white waxflower, peach hypericum, Juliet garden roses, Soho roses, parvifolia, astilbe, ranunculus, snapdragons, larkspur, hydrangeas, dahlias and more, with alternating high and low centerpieces and romanic candlelight, too. We loved the pop of extra color in Angela's elegant cascade style bouquet. We also loved working with Monarch Creative Events and all the other pros involved. Congratulations Daniel and Angela. Your wedding was wonderful, and we wish you all the love and happiness in the world

Erin and Joey tied the knot on a sunny June day at the beautiful Drake Oak Brook hotel. Erin was captivating in her Martina Liana gown, and the bridesmaids dresses from Kennedy Blue Official were a perfect complement. The florals, in creamy white hues with a touch of slate blue, featured roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, spray roses, delphinium, hydrangea, and silver dollar euclyptus. The ceremony was under the Drake's outdoor gazebo, with a unity bonsai that was a beautiful symbol of this couple's commitment to cherish and nurture their life together. The reception was fantastic, with great food, a gorgeous cake by Creative Cakes Bakery, cookies by Simply Sweet Carolines, and awesome dance tunes by Impulse DJs. There were wonderful personal touches throughout the day, too, including a collection of notes from Erin's third grade students. So sweet! What we'll remember most is the warmth and joy that everyone shared. See more of this happy couple's incredible day at Being Joy Photography. Congratulations Erin and Joey. Your wedding was a wonderful reflection of your love for each other!
