Brooke and Brian’s early September wedding was one of our favorites. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day for a beautiful couple. We loved all the texture and romantic colors of Brooke’s bouquet paired with her lace and beaded gown. Guests enjoyed an outdoor ceremony, followed by an indoor reception at the spacious Fishermen’s […]

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 […]

This past weekend was opening weekend for Kuiper’s Family Farm and we couldn’t be more excited for cider donuts and Fall weather! We love weddings at this rustic venue and one of those weddings was Jackie and Kevin’s. These two held an outdoor ceremony on the grounds and followed it up with some live cocktail […]

Nothing screams Spring/Summer more than Amanda and George’s outdoor wedding at Blumen Gardens – Sycamore. So many romantic details…and that dress!!! Need we say more!

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 are headed into a crazy weekend full of fabulous Fall events, but we wanted to take a hot minute to share a little pretty! We haven’t blogged in awhile and we thought Ariana’s Lunch and Bubbly bridal shower at Riverside Receptions in Geneva would be the perfect event to jump back into the blogging […]

It’s crazy to think that the month of August already marks the one year anniversary of Lexee and Kory’s Oak Hill Farm wedding in Galena. Their wedding was one of our favorites from last year! If anyone knows how to throw a party it’s Lexee and Kory. Their soft and romantic color palette paired perfectly […]

These two had lots of soft romantic details from the draped pergola for their ceremony to the candlelight filled tables inside the main dining room at Fishermen’s Inn; we loved embellishing each and every space. We used various shades of […]

It feels like just yesterday that we were setting up Lauren and Joey’s Acquaviva Winery wedding and crossing our fingers that the projected rain would stay away. Fortunately it did, and we love the way everything turned out for these two. We’ve been holding onto some of their wedding images throughout the busyness and craziness, […]
