Prarie Landing

Well, the weathermen were wrong about Saturday's weather, it did not rain but it was quite breezy which made set up a little interesting. Michelle and Michael had an outdoor ceremony at Prarie Lakes Golf Club in West Chicago. The rose petals down the aisle didn't stay put so right before the ceremony was to begin, as all the guests took their seats, I played flowergirl and sprinkled the petals down the aisle....never had to do that before! The scenery was absolutley gorgeous! They picked the perfect venue for their wedding day.

Very long aisle for the bride to walk down.

Amazing view of the hills on the golf course.

Purple & Green

I'm often asked what my favorite flowers and colors are, which changes on a pretty regular basis. My new favorite color combination is purple and green! Jennifer and Brian's wedding this past Saturday had these colors in their flowers and accents while their main colors were black and champagne. Their wedding reception room at the Odyssey Country Club looked awesome with their tables draped in black with the bright colored centerpieces and candles.

The green flower hanging is amaranthus which was also used in the tall centerpieces.

Such a great idea, a candy table! It looked so pretty and smelled soo good!

Lisa and Dan

This past Friday's wedding went flawlessly and alot of it had to do with wedding coordinator Jamie Wojtkow. She was hired by Lisa and Dan to oversee the day's details and she did a phenomenal job. I was very impressed with her organization skills and her attention to all the day's details. I don't think Lisa and Dan had much to stress over for their big day, Jamie had it all under control! Jamie and her assistant Heather were such terrific help, not just to me but to all of the other vendors involved in Lisa and Dan's big day. To Brides and Grooms who are looking for help with your wedding planning or who need a day-of wedding coordinator, contact Jamie to solve all your planning needs.

Here are some pictures of the flowers I took, her bridesmaids wore the prettiest black satin strapless dresses and their bouquets of pink, white and ivory stood out beautifully against them. Lisa was a picture perfect bride, just gorgeous! She and Dan looked so incredibly happy!

Elegant 4th of July

Saturday's wedding for Michelle and Brian was the most elaborate and elegant wedding I have done. I had been preparing and looking forward to this wedding all year and can't believe it's here and gone. The ceremony and reception took place at the Hyatt Regency Chicago in the Crystal Ballroom. We provided all of the floral arrangements, lighting, candles, chuppah, fabric, vases and columns. When the set up was complete and I was taking pictures of my work, the sting quartet was warming up in the background..it was just so lovely!

What a Cool Bride

I just received a few pics from a wedding I did a few weeks ago..had forgotten to bring my camera with me that day. Anyways, this bride Kelly, was awesome!! She had her bridesmaids go pick out an all black dress that they'd be comfortable in for her wedding day, how wonderful is that?! Not only did they have their own style dress (which they can wear many times again) but each girl had her own color/flower bouquet.
