Wedding Flowers Chicago

We can't believe its been a whole year since this wonderful couple's October wedding.  They began planning it in early 2020.  Then, like so many other couples, they had to pivot -- adjusting their plans multiple times -- due to Covid-19.  Still, they were determined to stick with their intended date.  So, instead of a chapel ceremony at Loyola University, they opted for a smaller gathering at Claire's home church in Western Springs, followed by an intimate backyard reception with their closest friends and family.  The day was filled with bright florals, gorgeous autumn landscapes, soft light, joyous laughter, and truly genuine love.  Claire and Stephen made it incredible, because their love, determination, friendship, and flexibility made it possible.  So, happy anniversary Stephen and Claire!  We think you can do anything together!  See more at Chi Thee Wed.

This stunning couple combined a beautiful outdoor setting with a few rustic elements, blush blooms, romantic candles, and simple greenery to create an inviting, natural theme that was the perfect backdrop for their wedding day.  We loved working with all the professionals involved, including Jenna Marie Photograhy, The London House,and  Bittersweet Pastry.  Congratulations Sara and Julien.  Your wedding was wonderful, and we think you are, too!

Nicole and Kris celebrated their wedding at the stately Stan Msnsion in Chicago's Logan Square.  Nicole's luxurious botanical bouquet was a free-flowing, starburst design right out of a hollywood movie, with Pink Mink protea, burgundy amaryllis, astilbe, Aranthera orchids, Gunni eucalyptus, and more.  The couple incorporated family heirlooms and other vintage elements in their decorations, too. Three handmade wedding cakes were adorned with cake toppers from both Kris and Nicole’s parents’ weddings, and the tables were named after all of the important marriages in their families. Perhaps the most memorable homage: Nicole wore her mother’s wedding dress (“remodeled to make it less 1982”).  The beautiful setting, distinctive bouquets, and special personal touches made this downtown wedding amazing.  See more at LakeshoreInLove.com   Congratulations Nicole and Kris.  We loved being part of your day!

Last year may go down in history for its record number of backyard and micro weddings.  It was an adjustment for us all during the pandemnic, but most couples found ways to make even small ceremonies beautiful, meaningful, and memorable.  That was definitely the case with Jenny and Tom's sweet union in October 2020.  They decided to postpone their large celebration to 2021 but still wanted tie the knot in a smaller ceremony before that.  A family home in La Grange was the perfect setting. "Jenny was beaming with excitement as she saw her closest family and friends start to arrive and head to the back yard for the celebration," wrote Marc & Mindy.  Tom was obviously very happy, too.  Jenny's grandfather officiated, and everyone cheered for the happy couple.  It was a beautiful expression of love and commitment, and we can't wait to celebrate again with this couple in 2021.  Congratulaions Jenny and Tom!

Despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic, this wonderful couple found a beautiful way to celebrate their Autumn 2020 wedding with style.  They took advantage of the scenic outdoor vistas and spacious tent at Oak Brook Hills Resort.  The result was a sunny suburban ceremony and reception with plenty fo room for everyone to have fun and feel comfortable, too.  Classic white floral displays of fresh roses, stock, spray roses, lisianthus, lilies, waxflower, larkspur, and more, made the setting even more stunning.  It was a day filled with love, laughter, and dancing.  Congratulations Juliann and Bobby.  Your wedding was a joy, and just what we all needed!
