Swissotel Chicago Wedding

Katy and Rudy were originally introduced by co-workers, but they planned much of their wedding from Germany, where they were currently living. So, their wedding day was a joyous gathering of family and friends from Florida, Seattle, Maryland, Washington, DC and almost everywhere in between. To make guests feel welcome, they threw a casual Wedding Eve bash at Portillo's, with yummy Chicago style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. Their pretty pink and white wedding the following day was simple but upscale at the stylish Swissotel Chicago. We loved this couple, their wedding party, and their families. See more of their beautiful wedding and reception at Lilly Photography. Thank you Katy and Rudy for letting us play a small part in your very special day!

White and Gold Winter Wedding

Sparkling snowfall was the perfect backdrop for this elegant white and gold winter wedding. Megan and Dan tied the knot at St. James Chapel, then treated their guests to a gorgeous reception at The Drake Hotel Chicago. Floral decor by Scarlet Petal featured phalaenopsis orchids, roses, and spray roses, with golden candleabras and shimmering votives. Despite winter's chill outside, family and friends basked in the warmth of this joyous gathering. Coordinated by Clementine Custom Events and captured by Shane Welch Photography, Megan and Dan's winter wedding was filled with love and uncompromising style, too.

Stunning Shedd Aquarium Wedding, Chicago

I've always wanted to swim with the dolphins. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been fascinated by all of nature and wildlife. Maybe one day the opportunity will present itself...

One of our past brides Kate shared the same fondness for the ocean - enough to get married right in front of the dolphin tank at the Shedd Aquarium! I was so excited when Kelly from Clementine introduced us. My mind started to race with ideas on how to enhance an already gorgeous backdrop like the Shedd. In the end we used elements like water, sparkle cut glass, and submerged floral. It was beautiful!

Below are a few images from the wedding, but you can view more by visiting Clementine Chicago's blog. Enjoy!
