March 20th Wedding

First day of spring!!!...though not so springy kind of day. It snowed on Saturday unfortuantely after a sunny week in the 50's and 60's. Aside from the icky weather, Lauren and Atif's wedding went great. Peacock feathers were Lauren's main inspiration for her wedding colors and decor. The girls carried purple and green pomanders hung with gold metallic ribbon and they wore teal satin dresses. The bridal bouquet contained white Peonies, Gardenias, purple Freesia, purple Ranuculous, purple Orchids, green Orchids and accented with crystals and Peacock feathers. Peacock wreaths hung on the front doors of the Church which made for great pictures, however, due to the weather the couple had to use the enclosed side entrance for their exit from the ceremony.

Baby Shower Flowers

I had a flower order this weekend for centerpieces for a baby shower. I included a variety of pastel spring flowers and a few white birch branches in clear square glass vases. Can't wait to hear if she has a boy or a girl!

Post Valentine's Day Wedding

Elena and Chris married last weekend at the Naper Settlement's Century Memorial Chapel and followed by their reception at the Lisle Hilton. They had a big bridal party and all 10 girls wore beautiful red satin dresses and carried large white roses while Elena carried all red.
Even though it was a chilly February day they were able to catch a few pictures down at Naperville's Riverwalk. I can't wait to see their professional pictures!

I just had to post these pictures I received last night from photographer Crisitina Giurgea, these pictures are from a wedding I had done this past September. Cristina rocks! She is the furthest from a "cookie-cutter" wedding photographer, she is a true artist. It is obvious that photography is her life's passion by the way she captures the special moments and details of the wedding day. I highly recommend contacting her for not only for your wedding day photography needs but any other special moments you would like to capture forever! ...you will not be disappointed!
