This was the most beautiful summer day. Soft romantic flowers, lush greenery, a beautiful couple, and their two adorable pups. But, the real showstopper was the 24ft hanging installation we did for the head table. It was everything! Lush greenery and soft summer blooms draped over the wedding party at one of our favorite venues in Chicago (Company 251). To balance the space we did loose greenery and heavy candle treatment for the head table and all florals on the reception tables. An asymmetrical growing arch was the perfect backdrop for the couple to say “I do” in front of close friends and family.

And if the wedding day wasn’t perfect enough, the groom planned a surprise birthday party for the bride the following day! How sweet is he! He reached out because he knew how important flowers were to the bride, we made sure the birthday party was filled with her favorite summer blooms too.

When your dream wedding in Hawaii gets cancelled because of COVID-19 you do the next best thing…get married overlooking Lake Minnetonka. Definitely not Hawaii, but it’s Minneapolis’ closest version.

Angie + Michael wanted to keep their intimate ceremony and reception simple, but beautiful. We went all out on the bouquets and kept everything else minimal. The real party was on the yacht cruise after the nuptials.

Brown + Lee Wedding

When a bride comes to us and requests peonies we do a happy dance! Especially when it is peony season! So, when Kayla specifically said she wanted peonies in her bouquet we knew we were the perfect fit. It was a gorgeous day with an outdoor courtyard ceremony and gorgeous reception filled with gold geometric accents. The perfect balance of modern and timeless. First time working at the Van Dusen Mansion and it did not disappoint. Photos by Gina Ziedler Photography.

Garland for days

When this bride contacted me for her wedding I was so excited I couldn't contain myself!  I absolutely love long tables and filling them with gorgeous garland of greenery.  The bride was so much fun to work with and so detail oriented.  She spray painted all the centerpieces herself and provided an amazing old rustic ladder for her alter as well as a wooden welcome sign, bar cart and sign in table that were truly unique.   I even got to use my new white shutter screen which was perfect for place cards and for a backdrop for the head table.  It was truly a fantastic collaboration, we were totally on the same page for everything and I think that shows.

Check out the amazing photos George Street Photo captured of the wedding.  (some photos are my own, I'm sure you can tell which ones lol)

Adding garland to a gift table is a great way to dress it up.

The bride used old pages from a book for her place cards.  They fit perfectly into the slats of the screen.

Classic and elegant wedding

I love the feeling of opening my email and seeing photos from a wedding I've done.  Elizabeth and Keith had a classic and elegant wedding filled with gorgeous peonies and hydrangeas at the Metropolitan Club of Willis Tower.  What a view!  The venue was gorgeous and this couple is so sweet.
