Pettingill Historical Home Wedding by Pam Cooley Photography
This Illinois garden wedding by Pam Cooley Photography is GORGeous with a big, fat capitol G-O-R-G! I love the new take on a the mismatched bridesmaid attire. Each lovely lady was draped in beautiful pastel hues that perfectly coordinate with the fun striped straws, the colorful “just married” sign and compliment their beauteous bouquets. The entire affair was created with loving care by the bride and groom and they filled their perfect day with absolutely fabulous touches. You can see them all in the full gallery!

From the Bride…Will and I agree that our wedding day was truly perfect. It was exactly what I had envisioned and worked towards. We chose the Pettengill-Morron House as our venue because we both love and appreciate history and architecture. I truly enjoyed all of the planning and DIY projects I took on and to see them enjoyed by our guests was very satisfying. I am so thankful that Will was very involved and offered his expertise, ideas, and support.
My favorite moment of the wedding was, in essence, all of the little moments strung together: getting ready with my bridesmaids, tapping Will on the shoulder and him turning around for our “first look”, holding my dad’s arm tight and feeling his constant support as we walked out of the house, praying with our parents and pastor, watching our guests enjoying the night, and driving away under a sea of sparklers and shouts of well wishes. Will and I feel very blessed to have friends and family that have loved and supported us all along the way.
Will and I chose to see each other before the ceremony, and honestly, I wouldn’t have been able to wait a second longer! Walking out of the house, with his back to me, waiting for him to turn around and see me, was oh so fun. We soaked in the moment, laughing, and enjoying our time together. Spending time with Will before the ceremony gave me a deep peace and joy that lasted throughout the entire night.
From the Groom… When I saw Lindsay and how beautiful she was, I knew that nothing else mattered..all of the little details, all of the big details, seemed to fade in comparison, and suddenly seemed unimportant. I knew all was perfect.

Hi girls! The chalkboard arrow signs were picked up at Jeffery Alans (a local craft store). Bridesmaid dresses were JCrew. The thank you notes we designed ourselves. We used wording that you have probably seen before, and printed them out on brown craft paper.
The thank you notes are gorgeous. Would it be possible to now the wording used. Thanks!
Beautiful wedding! Can you please tell me where the lanterns are from? Best wishes~
Ive just managed to find these:
"Our families and friends,
It means the world to us to have you here tonight.
Thank you
for the support, encouragement, antics,
love and laughter
you have contributed to our lives.
You are our teachers, partners in crime, guides, and
favourite people in the world.
We hope that you enjoy tonight's party
and those we'll share for years to come"

Beautiful! I am also interested in finding out where the lanterns are from.
Girls-- The lanterns were picked up here and there...and many were borrowed from family and friends. I recommend checking craft stores and florists for lanterns. Places like Pier One, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Crate & Barrel and even Ikea all have lanterns. I like having an eclectic look so we mixed and matched all sizes and finishes of lanterns.
How much did this venue cost? Can you email me to let me know? I love it. The pictures are incredible.
This is such a beautiful wedding. I am trying to find straws similar to those used here. Where did the straws come from?
Hi Ashley--the straws are from Shop Sweet Lulu..she has a wonderfully fun selection!
Such a beautiful wedding! I love the style of everything!! Where are the bridesmaids dresses from?
Oops, I meant where are the flower girl dresses from?
