Happy Monday, everyone! I'm sure a few of you are ready to head home for the holidays, so safe travels to you.
We wanted to send a big thank you to all of our fabulous 2010 brides and grooms for making us a part of their big day. It was truly our most successful year and we couldn't be happier! I'm going to post a year-at-a-glance this week capturing all of the beautiful memories, so stay tuned.
Today's post is of a romantic and vintage wedding we produced in early September at the Chicago History Museum. I absolutely loved working with the bride and groom, Madeline and Audie. We met for the first time on Halloween of 2009. Madeline came in with her long locks of hair and fake eylelashes - she looked just like a princess. They proceeded to tell me they were getting ready to go out for the evening and to please excuse their made-up appearance. Having it been our first meeting, I just thought this was a very handsome couple. You be the judge by the photos below.
The theme of their wedding day was vintage romance, so we went with a muted, "tea-stained" color palette of blush, amethyst, butter, and cream. Other elements incorporated were albino peacock feathers, gold trimmed vessels, and old brooches. It was stunning!
Thanks to David Wittig Photography, we are able to share these beautiful images with you. You can also view a slideshow of this wedding on his website. Enjoy!

A little note from the bride and groom:
"Truly, your flower presentation at my wedding exceeded my expectations. Even now, people are still talking about it! You were able to capture my vision and make it a reality...and for that, I am incredibly grateful. My wedding day was perfect, and I have you to thank for creating such a glamorous and elegant ambiance. Thank you so much for making it an unforgettable day :)"
