Phillip's Flowers Weddings

This gorgeous couple is so photogenic, and their wedding at Hotel Baker in St. Charles was definitely as gorgeous as they are.  First were some photos, then a stunning outdoor cermony in the Rose Garden, followed by a relaxing garden cocktail hour before the sumptuous dinner, dancing, and late night snacks in the Rainbow Room.  Mark proposed to Kelly in New York, with a visit to Central Park and Rockefeller Center, an appointment at Kleinfeld, and a romantic dinner.  He even arranged for Kelly's mom fly in to join them for afternoon tea at the Waldorf Astoria and to help Kelly try on wedding dresses.  But, their wedding was pure Chicago style, with a lush outpouring of romantic blooms.  And, their happiness was overflowering, too.  Congratulations Kelly adn Mark.  We think you're terrific, and we were honored to be part of your incredible day.

Caitlyn and Patrick met during their senior years at the University of Illinois and quickly discovered they had a lot in common.  After graduation, Patrick pursued a  carrer in Texas and Caitlyn began working on her master's degree at Indiana University.  But that was not the end of their love story.  Thanks to phone calls, text messages, FaceTime, and occasional visits, their relatiohship continued to bloom.  Then, in May 2017, they met in Chicago, Patrick surpsied Caitlyn with a romantic sunset helicopter tour of the city, and during that breathtaking ride, he asked her to be his wife.  They tied the knot the following year with a stately ceremony at St. Petronille in Glen Ellyn followed by a beautiful reception at the Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook.  Almost everything was planned from out of state, but it all came together pefectly.  Caitlyn and Patrick were amazing, and we loved the luxurious ivory, dusty rose, and cappucino color scheme.  What a celebration of love, family, and friendship!  Congratulations Caitlyn and Patrick.  It was a joy to be a part of your wonderful day.

A mutual friend and a love of running brought this sweet couple together.  They met in Milwaukee, and their relationship grew from there.  As Chicago area natives living in the suburbs, they decided to have an intimate outdoor ceremony near family and friends at the Hilton Chicago Northbrook.  With colorful florals, an ombre petal aisle created just for them, and tasteful personal touches throughout, Melissa and Andy celebrated their love on a beautiful August day.  It was a fabulous affair, with Melissa's cousin providing hair and makeup services, her cousin's fiance as photographer, and the friend who introduced them as the officiant.  The reception was so much fun, too, with glowsticks, a photo booth, and late night snacks for all.  "Having our loved ones together in one place was the absolute best part of our wedding," said Melissa. "It was amazing!”  See more at Chicago Style Weddings.  Congratulations Melissa and Andy! We loved being a part of your amazing day.

Emily and Scott first met in Las Vegas. then reconnected a year later in Toronto.  Their relationship blossomed, and Scott proposed to Emily in Hawaii, with a custom diamond ring he designed himself.  They tied the knot at Chicago's recently renovated Ritz Carlton.  Emily was radiant in her Blue by Enzoani gown, with a dazzling ten-carat diamond necklace and matching earrings by Merry Richards Jewelers.  The flowers she selected were simple yet elegant, with lush roses and peonies galore.  Family and friends enjoyed a fabulous reception, with a late night pizza party, too.  Later, this wonderful and well-traveled couple continued their celebration with a whirlwind honeymoon in Thailand and Bali.  Incredible!  Featured on Modern Luxury, this was definitely a Chicago wedding to remember, and the most memorable part for us was Emily and Scott's truly beautiful love for each other.
