"Toast & Jam"

From the moment I laid my eyes on this crazy gorgeous Chicago wedding, I knew one thing for certain: this couple is awesome.  Yep, they're the kind of couple that throws a fun-filled party to celebrate their I do's and leaves you talking about it for years (and years) after.  They also happen to be the kind of couple that handcrafts amazing details and chooses a wonderful group of vendors to make it all happen. Think ...

There's just something about a traditional wedding that makes me smile.  Maybe it's because growing up obsessed with weddings, I always imagined myself walking down the aisle in a grand cathedral, followed by a beautiful reception in a breathtaking ballroom.  It's the fairytale all little girls dream of, no?  So when I first spotted this gorgeous day captured by Christy Tyler Photography, I knew we were in for a special treat.

The worst kept secret in SMP Illinois history?  We love Salvage One weddings.  That's okay, though... we don't mind the entire world knowing.  Because when a sweet Salvage One soiree crosses our paths, it's a guaranteed day of non-stop lovely.  Particularly when it's two-day cultural affair boasting beautiful blooms from...

I surrender. That's right, I officially surrender. Because this couple? They have completely out-styled me and then some (and then some more). As a Bride that initially never intended to have a big Chicago wedding, I am sure glad that she finally caved - because the day she said I do to her new (handsome) man at Salvage One might go down as one of the stylish days in SMP Illinois history. That day came to life via the visions...

A classic Chicago wedding.  Is there anything better?  Not in my humble opinion.  I happen to get a little giddy every time I see a traditional soiree in the Windy City and this one captured by Erica Rose Photography is, put simply, outstanding.  Think a stunning Cafe Brauer setting, beautiful blue hues and a take-your-breath-away bridal bouquet from...

I've got two words for: gelato bar. Oh, how I love that fabulous dessert and I'm pretty sure I now need to convince all my engaged friends that they have to have one at their wedding. So original and so pretty. And it doesn't stop there! This gorgeous bride planned an entire Napa meets France wedding and the result was absolutely beautiful. We've got Kate Miller Photography to thank for all these pretty images and you can see...
