We just had to share these sweet memories from Kjersten and Josh's wedding at the Drake Oak Brook. You wouldn't know it from these photos, but this wonderful couple had to deal with lots of last-minute wedding day challenges, including an unexpected change for the location of their cermoney virtually one day before the event! Despite the pressure, they took everything in stride, and their guests were happy to do so, too! The result was a beautiful and memorable day filled with love, patience, kindness, and grace. Kjersten looked gorgeous, Josh was beaming, and everyone had a blast. This wedding is a testament to what really matters most, two people who love each other no matter what the circumstances. Thank you Kjersten and Josh for letting us be part of your wedding pros team. Your love really shined through!

Most wedding are memorable. This one was unforgetable. From the elegant ceremony at St. Michael's, to the romantic reception at the Racquet Club of Chicago, Allison and Scott's mid-December celebration overflowed with beauty, romance, and love. The floral designs by Phillip's featured Tibet roses, Phalaenopsis orchid sprays, hydrangeas, dendrobium orchids, amaranthus, stock, white delphinium, lisianthus, Bells of Ireland, cedar, ivy, seeded eucalyptus, ruscus, and more, with ribbed glass trumpet vases, clear candelabras, pillar candles, gold votives, twinkle lights, and show-stopping hanging designs with romantic "bubble" candles. Breathtaking! With planning and coordination by Manikas Designs, everything was beautiful. Congratulations Allison and Scott. We loved being a part of your special day, and your wedding was one we'll never forget.

Thank you Dawn E. Roscoe Photography for posting these memorable images from Megan and Stephen's wedding in Chicago. What a wonderful couple and a beautiful wedding day! We loved the Sping florals and pretty pastel hues. Megan looked amazing in her backless, beaded gown by Jasmine. And, for a bride who loves water, the reception on the Odyssey was so perfect. The Chicago skyline views from the cruise were awesome, and everyone had a blast dancing the night away. It was a fantastic way to celebrate a Chicago wedding in style. Congratulations Megan and Stephen. We loved working with you, and we wish you a lifetime of love and smooth sailing.

Molly and Tommy exchanged their wedding vows in a gorgeous September ceremony at St. Michael's in Old Town. Then, they celebrated with family and friends at Rockwell On the River, with its historic bow truss ceiling, overlooking the North Branch of the Chicago River. Molly's elegant floral selections included anemones, ranunculus, garden roses, hydrangeas, Bells of Ireland, larkspur, dusty miller, and a variety of other upscale blooms, with lots of romantic votive candles to create the perfect atmosphere. Even the chandeliers were adorned with flowers and botanicals for that extra special touch. It was a spectacular wedding in the heart of the city. Thank you Molly and Tommy for letting us play a small part in your amazing day. See more at Lindsey Kay & Associates.

It's that time of year when Chicagloland can become a winter wonderland, and that's just what this gorgeous couple had in mind for their winter wedding in Oak Brook last January. With a backdrop of beautiful trees and fresh powdery snow, Jackie and Kyle exchanged their vows in a romantic ceremony at the Grand Oaks of Hyatt Lodge, followed by an elegant, upscale reception. The floral designs featured Tibet roses and white hydrangeas with lavender Ocean Song roses, stock, snapdragons, alstroemeria, lisianthus, caspia, and botanical foliages. But, Jackie in her Pronovias gown was definitely the center of attention. It was chilly ouside, but this fashionable suburban Chicago wedding was filled with warmth and love. Happy upcoming first anniversary Jackie and Kyle! We loved being a part of your wonderful day. See more at Janet D Photography.

We can't help being happy for these high school sweethearts whose wedding in May was almost a decade in the making. Janine and Will tied the knot at Carriage Greens Country Club in Darien, IL. Originally, the ceremony was planned for outdoors, but the weather didn't quite cooperate. Fortunately, the club easily moved things indoors (an important consideration when planning any outdoor event), and everything was still really beautiful. The floral designs featured white anemones, peonies, Tibet roses, stock, waxflower, spray roses, lisianthus, and seeded eucalyptus, with sage green and pearl accents, alternating high and low reception centerpieces, and both floating votive and pillar candles glimmering in glass. The setting was lovely, and everyone seemed to be smiling all day -- especially the bride and groom. (You can just tell when two people are meant for each other!) See more at Marc & Mindy Photography. Thank you Janine and Will for letting us play a part in your wonderful wedding day. We wish you much love and happiness for many, many years to come!
