Colorful Autumn Wedding and Reception

Amy and Mike's Autumn wedding palette combined deep reds, purples, burgundy, chocolate, and black with antique gold and silver accents.  From the ceremony bathed in golden light at Wicker Park Lutheran Church to the romantic candlelight dinner reception at The Ivy Room, every detail was stunning.  Captured by Steve Koo Photograpy and featured on Style Unveiled, Amy's bridal bouquet featured deep red roses, garden roses, scabiosa, red sedum, deep purple dahlias, and burgundy ranunculus.  Other fresh flowers and foliages throughout the event included cymbidium orchids, red peppercorn, curly willow, viburnum berries, hanging amaranthus, antique green hyrdrangea, spray roses, and purple trachelium.  Congratulations, Amy and Mike!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your very special day.

Black and White Wedding at the Park Hyatt Chicago

Planning a wedding is somewhat like a mathematic equation. If you follow the right formula, most likely you'll end up with a beautiful and memorable day. If you miss the mark on one thing, you might just end up falling flat. It's all about the details!!

Lynne and Chris seemed to pull it all together seamlessly. From the invitation right down to the color of the cake, their black and white theme portrayed a modern, yet elegant vibe. The ceremony and reception were both held at the Park Hyatt in downtown Chicago.

Lynne wanted rich reds for the personal flowers, so we paired velvet black beauty roses with black berries for the bridesmaids. She carried a classic round bouquet of roses.

 

The reception space carried out her crisp and clean palette of white with undertones of black. Wrought iron lanterns were used to cast a warm glow throughout the room. Tucked beneath the lanterns were groupings of hydrangea, scabiosa, ti leaves, kangaroo paw, and roses. Other guest tables were decorated with groupings of floating candles accented by similar flowers used beneath the wrought iron lantern. Serendipity Portraits did a beautiful job capturing the details.

Enjoy!

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.
