I found today’s featured wedding when I was gleefully looking through Doug McGoldrick’s blog. I say gleefully because not only does he have some great weddings up, his descriptions of the events are so perfect. Completely witty. Anyway, I took one look at this cake and HAD to see more.
So, Doug was kind enough to send over images WAY too late last night. And here they are!

From Doug (from his blog)…
Liz and Graham had there ceremony at Bond Chapel at the University of Chicago and their reception at Northerly Island. Greg Christian did the catering and it was a wonderfully run event by them. I’ve had a few weddings with Larkspur Florist in the past and they seem to always do a great job using lots of local varieties, which fit in well with the prairie restoration out at Northerly Island. John from Beep Media provided really fun tunes through out. During cocktail hour they where playing lots of space age jazz which is always lots of fun, Beep always puts on a great show. Liz and Graham where a great couple who had a beautiful day for a perfect event.
I have a few more pictures from the table settings at this wedding, which were completely gorgeous.

Ooooh! I love these photos. Liz looks stunning in her t&h headband too! What a charming cake!
What unique centerpieces! They're gorgeous!
I love the simple table place cards. We've seen so many cool designs. We had one where they hung them on a clothes line for a backyard tented wedding.
Wow, this is actually really similar in feel and style to all of the things my wedding is turning out to be. It's very reassuring to know that the space, the flowers, the colors, will work out this beautifully in reality since a lot of these things have just been floating around in my head unconnected. I also love that cake.
I absolutely love the cake, it's creative and quirky and beautiful. Just fabulous!
Is there any chance that the bride could advise how she approached decorating Northerly Island? I am looking at this as a venue but have no idea how much decor is required!
Thanks
