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!

Diana and Dave

Diana and Dave's wedding was held at the 63rd Street Beach House this Saturday. I loved making her bouquets; presentation arm bouquets in hot pink calla lilies! This style is one that isn't used very often but I think it was perfect for her beach setting. The other flower variety used for her wedding was white dendrobium orchids which were added to her bouquet, the groom's boutonniere and the corsages.

First Vow Renewal

C.C. contacted me to make her flowers for her and her husband's ten year wedding anniversary this weekend in which they renewed their vows at the Riverview Banquets in Batavia. She was looking for a very bright bouquet with a little bit of bling! A purple butterfly is symbolic for a missed family member in their family and C.C. wanted to incorporate a silk butterfly somewhere in the ceremony so one was added to the flowergirl pomander. I think it was a very special touch to the day.

C.C. is the owner of Payton's Photography. She is a fabulous photographer! You have to check out her work at http://www.paytonsphotography.com/ !!

Metropolis Ballroom

Becky and Daniel's wedding took place Sunday at Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows and the reception was held at the Metropolis Ballroom in downtown Arlington Heights. They had an ultra chic wedding in ivory and black with accents of yellow. Majority of the flowers I used were bright yellow, which stood out perfectly. I wish I had more pictures to post, but this is what I have...
