If you’re currently a bride or groom planning a wedding in the Chicago area I HIGHLY suggest you scroll through Claudia and Tyler’s wedding sneak peek blog for inspiration. It was – in a word – breathtaking.

The thirty five amazing women who made up my bridal squad in 2019 are all very different from each other, but they all had one thing in common: one heck of a fierce bouquet game and incredibly talented florists.

I’ve rounded up some of my absolute favorites (which was impossible) and loosely categorized them in hopes of helping all brides-to-be nail down their dream wedding flower vision as they enter the exciting and sometimes overwhelming world of wedding planning!

Here we go, Chicago brides!

Noelle and Brett’s wedding day was perfect. Chicago being Chicago means that the weather will always keep you on your toes. Despite a little summer rain, their city summer wedding day was elegant and unique at the always fabulous Ovation Chicago…

It was a lovely day in July that Melanie & David exchanged vows on the sweeping lawns of the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Chicago’s north suburbs.

I could probably write a love poem about Melanie’s dress alone….

I can’t believe the day has come to officially blog Karen and Matt’s incredible wedding day. Time flies!

Now, don’t get me wrong, My wedding day three years ago was amazing and lovely and all of the things one would hope their wedding will be.

But was it in an old Firehouse, you may ask?! Nope. Sadly, there was nary one fire pole to slide down.

Allow me to explain.

Quite honestly, I do not even know where to begin with this one.

Carly and Johnny’s wedding day was, in a word, breathtaking. It wasn’t just the stunning, soft, luminous florals, the goose-bump inducing music during the ceremony or the beauty of their elegant venue. Carly and Johnny radiate goodness.

“Non-stop side-splitting laughter”.

Those are the five words that Brittaney and Marcus used to describe their relationship when asked, and let me tell ya, a description so apt there never was!

These two are truly the embodiment of class: they’re kind, they’re incredible dressers (a skill I have yet to master so I have the utmost respect for those who do!), they’re super beautiful (I mean, obviously) and are so full of love for one another that the typical pre-ceremony nerves couldn’t touch ‘em. The beautiful Brittaney was incredibly cool, calm and brimming over with quiet grace before exchanging vows with her handsome groom.

“Oh Agnes, won’t you go with me? We’ll be married in style. And we’ll cross Lake Michigan so blue and so wild”. – lyrics from the song“Lovely Agnes”

My dad used to sing that song to my little sister and I when we were little (and it was every bit as agonizing and mortifying as you would imagine), but for some reason that beautiful (when not performed by my father (sorry, Dad!)) song kept trilling through my mind throughout the duration of Taylor and Dylan’s beautiful wedding day.
