Photo of the Day

Most Chicagoans are wishing they were somewhere warm right now!
So I wanted to share a wonderful destination wedding moment...
As the bride, groom and their guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the beach,
a FABULOUS Mariachi band joined their celebration!  Everyone loved it!

A fabulous Groom's Cake...

Details are an important part of a wedding because they often
show insight into the bride and groom's personality.
 So I thought I would share one of my favorite parts of last weeks wedding...
The Bride had a Groom's Cake created based on his love for fishing! 
She shared with us a photo of him catching a large Muskie,
which was the inspiration for the Groom's Cake! 
The Groom absolutely LOVED it!

February Wedding with a touch of Valentine's Day

It was a beautiful day on Saturday
as Nora and Chris said "I-do"
at St. John Berchman's Church in Logan Square, Chicago
Following the ceremony, their reception took place
The ballroom was elegant and romantic
with centerpieces of white tulips, white hydrangea or white roses,
 accented with tall cylinders and floating candles.
Details, Details, Details...
Each guest napkin was wrapped with navy satin ribbon
and with a rosemary sprig tucked inside.

The menu cards and place cards were double layered,
backed in a shimmer silver.

Custom Valentine's were placed at each guest seat...
"Give a Valentine to someone you hold dearest."

Nora and Chris's wedding was outstanding from beginning to end...
More detail photos tomorrow...
including photos of their Valentine's themed Candy Station!
