Julia & Patrick: Holiday Romance


With snow still on the ground, I can't help but reminisce about our winter weddings. Julia and Patrick embraced the season, creating an ambiance of holiday magic and romance. The personal touches throughout the day showcased such an endearing love of family and warmth to counter the cold day. Check out the gorgeous photos by Colin Lyons Photography:

Ah technology....

When traveling around Chicago in winter, one must prepared with proper shoes!

In tribute to her parents, Julia's bouquet was wrapped with a piece of her mother's wedding dress and her father's dog tag

Love this unique vantage point of the Chicago skyline!

In true fairy-tale fashion, a horse and carriage whisked the bride and groom away after the ceremony.

The bride and groom's East Side/West Side chair signs added a little whimsy to the elegance of the Mid-America Club.

A family heirloom cake topper made the wedding cake extra special.

The Head Table

A classic table setting with candle favors for the guests, basking the room in a candlelit glow.

Lush greenery made the room seasonal yet romantic.

Foam glow sticks made magic happen on the dance floor!

A glowing sendoff for the Bride and Groom.

Congratulations to Julia and Patrick!

Hannah & Dan: Winter Wonderland Wedding

The air is already getting a little brisk this week, hinting that winter is just around the corner. So, I thought I'd share this enchanting winter wonderland themed wedding. Being from North Dakota, Hannah was no stranger to the cold. I loved how she embraced the winter with unique and intricate details. Check out the beautiful photos from Katie Kett Photography:


The invitation suite is the first chance to introduce your theme to guests.
These invitations are simple and elegant with a touch of the winter magic to come.


Love the bride's delicate snowflake jewelry!


The bride wore these faux-fur lined boots.


Me giving the guys a little help with their boutonnieres.


With a matching cloak, the flower girl was a little fairy snow princess!


The ceremony program


I love texture in a bouquet and this bright white bouquet with brunia, pine cones, and dusty miller reminds me of a winter landscape.


Our bride was ready to brave the elements in this gorgous ice blue cloak.
The bridesmaids carried muffs instead of bouquets down the aisle!


Baby's breath pomanders lined the aisles, like little hanging snowballs.


The Ceremony


There is something so demure about wearing a stoll!


Winter accents abounded at the reception at European Crystal Banquets.
The bride gave us a box of decor and gave us free reign to find ways to use it.
We had so much fun!


No need for bride and groom signs. 
These crystal snowflakes indicated the seats for the guests of honor.


A mini winter forest scene at the couple's place setting.



The sausage hut is a Polish tradition that defnitely has a wow-factor.
To me, it also brought a cozy feeling, reminiscent of the European holiday markets


Yum!


Snowflakes fell during the First Dance.
Magical!

Congratulations to Hannah & Dan!
