The wedding day is all about the marriage and being surrounded by those that you love, and that’s exactly how Julia and Tom celebrated their love. They may have planned for a larger wedding, but like everyone else “COVID” happened, and at the end of the day just wanted to be married. When life throws […]

Brittany and Joe’s wedding this past Summer at Cantigny Park was one of our favorites. Soft blush tones and clean white blooms made for a classic outdoor tent wedding. We were so honored to have been apart of their wedding day and loved all the romantic images captured by Rachael Watson Photography. Here is a […]

One of the events we love being apart of during the colder months is the open house for couples at Acquaviva Winery-Maple Park.  We get to be […]

I don’t think we could have had a more perfect day to celebrate Erin and Andrew’s upcoming wedding with a backyard bridal shower fiesta. Erin holds a special place in our hearts, and we knew we had to make her shower extra special for her. She loves Mexican food, so the fiesta theme idea was […]

Perfect weather, breathtaking scenic views, another sweet couple, and homemade apple cider doughnut sundae’s…need we say more?!

All this bitter cold has us wishing we were back at Jackie and Andy’s outdoor Summer vineyard wedding at Acquaviva Winery. We loved working with these two earlier this year to bring their blush, peach, and coral floral together. Romantic fabric and floral clusters draped their outdoor ceremony arch, while a bright swirl of petals […]

Andrea and Derek’s wedding definitely goes in the books as one of our hottest outdoor weddings so far for 2018 (we’re talking triple digits!), but battling the heat was so worth it! You wouldn’t have guessed it by looking at the beautiful photos captured by Luis Hermosillo though, because these two plus their wedding party […]

We are so excited for tomorrow’s vendor networking event at Acquaviva Winery, so we’ve decided to share a few snapshots from the recent wedding open house that they held earlier this Spring for their winery wedding couples. It was so great chatting with new clients, as well as the current Acquaviva couples we already have […]

Bianca and Chad married this past summer at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, and we were so glad to be apart of their special day. Dusty blue, blush, and white hues served as the main color palette for the day, which was then accented with touches of copper. These two love birds opted for […]
