Terah and Ross celebrated their emerald green and gold wedding at Unity Lutheran Church and the Fortnightly Club in Chicago.  The bride is a historian and created an authentic Victorian era theme wedding....down to making her own dress!  It was modeled off of a 19th century Civil War era design. The groomsmen's suits were also period inspired with old fashioned ascotts instead of modern ties.  The bride's mother Linda also helped a great deal by elaborately designing the reception table centerpieces. Each table had a different traditional scholastic subject theme and was decorated using a varieity of antiques and vintage pieces such as inkwells, maps, globes, books, and old photographs. Overall, the style of the wedding reflected both Terah and Ross's professional careers in academia.  Terah and Linda also made the invitations and programs, and many other details. All in all it was truly an exceptional D.I.Y. wedding, We will always look back on this as all-time favorite for us, not only for the amazing details, but primarily because Terah and Ross were such wonderful and kind couple, an absolute pleasure to get to know, and we were so honored to be included on their memorable day.

Ross and Terah's Victorian Wedding Highlights

When Terah and Ross decided to have a vintage style wedding, they indeed went for authentic.  As a historian by profession, the bride certainly knows her stuff.  And, please get ready to have your mind blown....she designed AND made her own authentic Victorian style wedding dress!  From head to toe (and um, even her knickers) all elements were thoroughly researched to accurately represent the era.  With this daunting task for the bride, the groom did a fantastic job handling much of the planning duties. The bride's mother also did amazing reception table centerpieces, each one uniquely decorated to display a variety of classical academic subjects.  More from this wedding will be featured later, but for now here are a few highlights.  Congratulations to these exceptionally creative newlyweds!
