Lynette and Craig

Lynette and Craig married at the very old St. John United Church of Christ in Palatine. This chapel was built in the 1840's! The reception was held at Metropolis Ballroom in Arlington Heights. The couple had a travel to Paris theme and their color scheme was a variety of fall colors. I love doing flowers for fall weddings and had so much fun with this wedding. Lynette didn't want typical, cookie-cutter wedding decor and was looking for something unique that went with their style and theme. She had vintage luggage displayed outside the ballroom with luggage tags as seating cards for their guests. Lots of candle light, moss, flowers, branches and a variety of greenery was used to create this look for them.

Morton Arboretum

Catie and Jim married at the lovely Morton Arboretum. What a fantastic time of the year to not only visit but to have a wedding! The trees are starting to turn all brilliant shades of red and orange. Their ceremony took place in their Hedge Garden and the reception was in their Ginko Ballroom. The views in the reception were amazing with floor to ceiling windows that over looked a pond and landscape. The bright hues of the flowers really stood against the black bridesmaids dresses and black linens in the hall.

Narnia Estates

Amy and Keith's wedding took place in Lemont at Narnia Estate. This venue was so, so beautiful! I'm sure they are going to have some terrific pictures from their photographer. The reception was held in an attached tent to the mansion and had gorgeous views of the grounds. The late afternoon sun coming through the windows along with the soft gold linens made the room glow!
