Beautiful June Wedding

Meghan and Joe's wedding this past weekend went flawlessly! It was an absolutely gorgeous June day and the flowers turned out just as I had hoped. The delivery was so easy..Carol Stream to St. Irene's in Warrenville to The Wyndham in Lisle, piece of cake! I'm also happy that my camera actually coorporated and I have several pictures that turned out pretty well....

(I think this is my favorite Bride bouquet I've made this year)



(Yes, the cake is still in the cooler...this was a chilly setup!)

Double Wedding Weekend

Lois and Tom's wedding was this past weekend...big, big wedding with lots and lots of flowers. I met Lois in May of 08' so that sure was a long wait for her wedding date to arrive. The day went beautifully! She was a stunning bride and it was amazing to see all the details that we talked about for so long come together. The morning was the pits with torrential downpours which made it interesting loading up the flowers to be delivered but it all worked out just fine. The sun came out later in the day and they had the opportunity to take outdoor pictures while at their reception at the Odyssey Country Club in Tinley Park.










Our friends Dave and Kim got married over the past weekend too! Congrats guys!! It was a super fun wedding and so nice to relax and catch up with friends we haven't seen in a while. Their wedding colors were navy with vibrant shades of hot pink, orange, yellow and lime green...very colorful and happy. I've never been to a wedding that had a photo booth provided for the guests and it was the biggest hit, so fun! The company that supplied it was http://www.shutterboxphotobooth.com/


I took some pictures of the flowers but there should be more to come...

Just Peachy

This weekend consisted of two weddings, both contained very similar colors..peach and ivory. It's official, I need a new camera! Majority of the pictures I took didn't turn out very well. So, that's on my list of things I need to purchase. Hopefully, I will be able to buy pictures from their photographers for my portfolio. Well, everything went smoothly for both weddings with the exception of the church coordinator showing up late and unlocking the church 7 minutes before the ceremony was to begin at the first one. That made my job a little hectic to say the least, though it all worked out in the end. Here are some of the pictures that actually turned out...
