Harold Washington Library Wedding: Lindsay and Matthew

I wanted to share another beautiful wedding with you from the Harold Washington Library! The Winter Garden room is always so bright and airy, it almost feels like your outdoors (a rare find in downtown Chicago). If you're guest list is growing, consider this spacious venue as an option for your ceremony and reception.

We decorated the guest tables with contrasting dark manzanita branches adorned with stark white dendrobium orchids. Hanging votives illuminated at various heights throughout the trees. It looked fabulous amongst the marble walled interior.

A big thank you to our talented photographer friend, Chad Husar, for supplying us with his stunning images you'll see below. Of course we have to extend a big hug to the star of the show, Heather Meibach of Heather Ever Present, for making the entire event and planning process seamless.

Enjoy!

Pretty Lindsay!

Harold Washington Library Wedding: Noopur and Scott

I first met with Noopur and Scott on an early Sunday morning after a very late and rare night out for them. It probably wasn't the most ideal time of the day to discuss all of the details of their wedding, but luckily Noopur came with a booklet of pictures for inspiration. We actually laughed about our first meeting on the day of the wedding. They both have the best sense of humor and were just a delight to work with!

This wedding was full of details, details, and even more details. I have to say that this was honestly one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever witnessed or been a part of! It wasn't just beautiful because of the hard work that went into planning, it was even more beautiful because of the relationship that Noopur and Scott have (along with their families).

As we watched their traditional Indian ceremony from afar, one might compare it to something along the lines of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".  The two cultures combined resulted in an absolutely stunning outcome!! I can just blab on and on about how unique and special this experience was for our company, but I'm sure you would rather see the photos. Speaking of photos, I was so impressed with Monica Z Photography. Given there were so many details to capture, I think Monica and her team went well beyond their call of duty. I would highly recommend! Furthermore, Misse from Honeybee Weddings managed to pull this wedding together seamlessly.

Thank you again Noopur and Scott for making us a part of your special day. I wish you both a very happy and healthy future together.

 

  

Harold Washington Library Wedding: Lindsey and James

For a bride, I know planning a wedding can be like a second job. These days it seems like we work around the clock, so who really has time to do more? Thank goodness for modern technology!

Lindsey and I never really met until weeks before her big day. We worked remotely from the start, emailing each other back and forth, exchanging pictures and color palettes. It really worked out well! For those of you who are up to your ears in work or are planning a destination wedding, it can be done from the comfort of your own home.

Here are a few stunning photos of her Harold Washington Library wedding provided by Bella Pictures. Enjoy!
