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.

Katherine and Dirk exchanged their vows at Concordia Lutheran Church in Berwyn, where Katherine's parents and grandparents were also wed. How amazing is that? Then, the love and joy of their pciture-perfect day spilled over to a beautiful reception at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook. The natural setting was perfect for this warm and genuine couple. Katherine was simply stunning in her Pronovias gown. Of course, we loved the soft colors, lush blooms, and romantic candlelight, too. But, it was the families and friends gathered together that made the celebration so memorable. Everyone had a blast. See more at Christy Tyler Photography. Congratulations Katherine and Dirk.

It's such a treat to work with so many wonderful brides and grooms throughout Chicagoland each year, like this beautiful couple, Marguerite and Nicholas, in 2011. The years fly by and flower trends change for the better, but one thing always remains; each wedding is all about the bride and groom. Tha's why we love the process of bringing each couple's vision to life. From simple to elegant, in the suburbs or the city, the flowers and decorations at every wedding should be a unique reflection of the couple and a celebration of their love together.

Anjali and Bob met through a mutual friend. She was a veternary nurse, and he was a police officer with a K9 unit. So, they both loved animals. After their first meeting, when Bob and his K9 partner helped Anjali find her lost keys, they fell in love with each other, too. Their wedding and reception was at the beautiful Morton Arboretum in Lisle. Anjali was breathtaking in her Jim Hjelm gown. Her flowers included roses, tropical dendrobium orchid sprays, and botanical accents. Everything was coordinated beautifully by Brooke at Tying the Knot Events.
