This shindig is Classic Chicago with two capital C's. This couple's style is so capital C, even their engagement began with a trip to Paris. It is only fitting that they chose the St. James Chapel, which is inspired by Paris's Sainte Chapelle. A Stem Above adorned the University Club with sultry autumn hued flowers for the reception: a...
The sweet details in this country crowd-pleaser shot by Ashley Biess Photography are playful and colorful-two of my favorite things! Using the beautiful backdrop of On Holden Pond in Oregon, Illinois, this clearly-in-love couple infused their big day with bits and pieces that were truly them, from the stationery designed by the bride to the gorgeous cake handmade by a family friend (cut me a slice of that beauty, please!). Stroll...
It's gorgeous wedding films like this one from Loudbyte Cinematography that really make you wish you had one of your own to watch over and over again. But I guess I'll just watch theirs instead! And I don't even mind because the bride is drop dead gorgeous, her veil is to die for, and their Chicago winter wedding was absolutely stunning. Enjoy!

Chicago wedding photographer Jeremy Lawson is amazingly talented at capturing the personalities of his couples and documenting the quirky moments that make us remember a wedding for years to come. He hit a home run (literally) with this sports-themed soirée held at both Soldier Field and Wrigley Field-during a Cubs game nonetheless! These windy city natives opted for a big day overflowing with funky, eclectic details...
There is something special about a wedding on the water and this Chicago beauty shot by Sarah Postma Photography is no exception. A bride in champagne satin, a bouquet in the season's hottest Pantone color, tangerine, and modern vases filled to the brim with fuchsia tulips. I'd say this one is a winner in my book. Feast your eyes on the rest of this modern fête right...
There's really nothing like returning to your hometown to marry the love of your life. And that's exactly what these adorable high school sweethearts did. They found a pretty little vineyard and surrounded themselves with family and friends, and lucky for us, Olivia Leigh Photographie was there to capture all the lovely little details.
One regret that I have with my own wedding is not capturing that engagement glow with my soon to be Mr. Hus. It's an actual thing, this glow I speak of. It permeates the pretty faces of every single couple we come across, including this duo captured by Kristin La Voie Photography. In fact, they seem to be extra glowy. It must be all that love. See the glow and all the engagement images you could possibly dream of...
Sweet home Chicago is looking extra sweet today with this wedding by Amanda Hein Photography. Every detail of the day from the bride's gorgeous necklace (added to my lust list) and stylish cigar station was eloquently delivered. I'm in awe that the couple planned such a sophisticated soirée in only four shorts months, wow! ...
Glittery heels, a (beautiful) blushing bride, a breathtaking ballroom reception - this stunning soiree captured by Olivia Leigh Photographie is what a wedding blogger's dreams are made of.

After seeing all the pretty images by R.E.M. Video and Photography, I can't help but add Chicago to my must-see list of cities around the country.

A wedding at Chicago's Salvage One is guaranteed to be filled to the brim with vintage charm and quirk. This soiree starring two beautiful brides (who couldn't be more head-over-heels in love) shot by Kari Bedford Photography is no exception. Über-personalized touches like a brooch bouquet made from the brides' mother's and grandmother's vintage jewelry and a reception intro film done by the amazingly talented ...
Every relationship is a journey but this Indiana-born and bred couple, who met in high school, fell in love in college and traveled great distances to be together, have truly had one great, romantic adventure. It only seems appropriate that their engagement session with J. Nelson Photography would take them on a journey around the great city of Chicago not only documenting their sweet, easy love for one another but also a...
Perfection. When it comes to describing this glorious Mt. Prospect affair, there's just one word (and one word only) that can give all of this lovely absolute justice. And that word is perfection. From the breathtaking blooms crafted by Flor del Monte to the all caps ADORABLE bride and groom (seriously, how cute are they!?!), it's a perfectly perfect soiree in every.which.way. Plus, with every last love-filled moment captured...
If you're thinking of getting married on a holiday and are looking for ways to incorporate it into your wedding without getting too theme-y, take a hint from this Irish heritage loving couple and get designing! Sure, they infused their day with green, and even a few shamrocks, but it works so well and doesn't even come close to going overboard. It's tasteful, upbeat, and totally cheers worthy! Fragrant Design whipped up the pretty...
From the very moment these two sweethearts promised to say "I Do," they knew just where to celebrate their big day - Walnut Grove Farm. Yep, not only is this stunning locale the very lucky (and very dashing) groom's family farm, it's also one of the most breathtaking settings you will ever lay your eyes upon, with a tree-filled clearing perfect for ceremonies and a glorious red barn adding a touch of rustic elegance to the...
Kristin La Voie Photography always manages to capture the sweetest, most genuine moments with her couples. There is so much joy that exudes from each and every image and this adorable beach engagement session is no exception. The love these two have for each other (and their adorable dog!) is as clear as the waters of Glencoe Beach where they shared an adorable picnic for two! ...
This is the kind of wedding that forces ear-to-ear smiles on everyone who watches the stunning highlight film from Loudbyte Cinematography. It's the kind of wedding that has an energy that is happily contagious. It's the kind of wedding we can all relate to because the bride and groom are so beautiful, yet so down to earth friendly, we feel like we know them the moment we first spy their prevalent smiles. It is the perfect wedding to put...
