Chicago "Wow" Wedding

Congratulations to Margaret and Kyle, whose beautiful Chicago wedding and reception were recently featured on Style Unveiled.  Their writer called this wedding "gorgeous."  We couldn't agree more.  So, while we posted about this delightful couple once before, we couldn't resist sharing these additional images from Rebecca Marie Photography of Margaret, Kyle, their ceremony, and their stunning reception at the School of the Art Institute Ballroom.  See more of this real Chicago "Wow" wedding at StyleUnveiled.com.

Venue Six10 Wedding Ceremony and Reception

It was such a treat to be a part of this couple's Chicago wedding and romance. Kelsey and Adam's first date was in Chicago, and their wedding and reception were at Venue Six10, with it's panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, and Soldier Field. They even hosted an after party at the Blackstone Hotel. "We love nothing more than to be with family and friends and have a great time," said Kelsey, "and that was our whole goal for the wedding." "I still wanted the space inviting and intimate," she continued, "Scarlet Petal gave me that with row after row of candles down the aisle." See it all at Style Me Pretty, including these great images from BellowBlue Photography.

Junebug Weddings Features Scarlet Petal Wedding at Loft on Lake

If you're looking for wedding inspiration while perusing the web, check out Junebug Weddings for bridal fashion, creative ideas, and beauty of all kinds. 

Speaking of beauty, Junebug featured one of Scarlet Petal's intimate weddings held at the trendy Chicago venue, Loft on Lake. I just loved the soft, muted hues of the bridal bouquet. I often refer to this palette as "tea-stained," referencing the Victorian era or that antique look.

Lovely Wedding at Galleria Marchetti!

I wanted to share this beautiful blog post of a wedding Scarlet Petal designed late last year. Thanks to Misse of Honeybee Weddings for helping us make their vision come to life on their wedding day!

Evening in Blue at the Hotel Allegro - Chicago

The Hotel Allegro is one of those venues that really embraces the true essence of Chicago. Guests of the hotel are surrounded by eclectic decor, luxurious accommodations, and an overall hip vibe synonymous with living in the downtown area. 

Scarlet Petal recently decorated the interior of the Allegro ballroom for a wedding this past fall. Sivan, our adorable and petite bride, selected a rich hued palette of peacock blue delphinium set amongst crisp white hydrangea blooms. The combination was striking and really popped in photos! Below are a few captured by their talented photographer, DeAwna McGinley. 

Congratulations to Sivan and David on becoming newlyweds!

Enjoy!

 

Country Chic Wedding at Cafe Brauer

I just love it when flowers come in looking spectacular! Florists heavily rely on growers throughout the world to procure their flowers. Unlike a manufactured product, the same flower grown in New Zealand can look entirely different if grown in California. We keep our fingers crossed each week and hope for the best.

The flowers that arrived for Liz and Eric's wedding at Cafe Brauer were picture perfect! Speaking of which, Alaina Bos Photography captured the most beautiful and romantic images of the bridal bouquet, chuppah, and centerpieces to name a few. Below are a few from Elizabeth Anne Designs' blog post. Click here to view the entire spread.

A Beautiful Wedding at The Ivy Room, Chicago

Opulent Wedding at The School of the Art Institute: Margaret and Kyle

Regardless of how many weddings we do, we're always so flattered and honored to be chosen as people's wedding florist. Given how we operate as a small company, our wedding couples always become an extension of our family during the planning process (and long after the wedding is completed) and that's what makes us so unique as a company. Our family has grown exponentially over the years.

A few days ago we received a lovely email from Margaret, a sweetheart-of-a-bride of ours who recently wed at The School of the Art Institute. Here's a snippet from it made us all smile:

Just got back from our honeymoon in Greece - it was amazing!  We haven't been able to stop talking about how perfect the wedding was and a large reason for that was because of the flowers!  I thought they were PERFECT!  And everyone loved them! Thank you so much for your help and your vision (since I had no clue what I wanted)!  I would not have changed one thing! 

 

She also shared a link to her amazingly talented photographer's blog, Rebecca Marie Photography. Rebecca posted some gorgeous shots from Margaret and Kyle's wedding day. Here are a few for you to enjoy.

 

Congratulations, Margaret and Kyle! We wish you all the happiness and health in the future.

They featured one of our recent weddings at Cafe Brauer filled with sunshine and elegant accents. Below are a few photos for you to see. Click here for the full feature.
