Happy Anniversary to Madeline and Kyle, who had the brilliant idea to have their wedding on a Thursday night before the holiday weekend last year. Their cocktail-style soiree at A New Leaf gave their guests a wonderful kick-off to spend the extended Independence Day weekend exploring Chicago.

It seems like for about the last 10 years finding a non-strapless wedding dress has been nearly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Sure, they're out there, but the selection is not as wide as strapless gowns. As a solution to the lack of sleeved options coming from dress designers, we've been seeing brides with stunning wraps and dress jackets. Bride Elizabeth's jacket had lovely delicate flowers that well complimented her spring wedding dress.

While Steffanie was getting ready she got a visit from a this special butterfly. I'm confident that this little critter brought her luck since this whole week has been stormy, but yesterday was absolutely beautiful...both the weather and wedding, which took place at First United Methodist Church and Galleria Marchetti. We'll post more details and pictures soon, but for now, enjoy this sneak peek!

This is what the sky looked like last night. This spring we've seen a lot of thunderstorms in the Chicago area, but they have made for some pretty dramatic colors in the sky. Proof once again...stormy weather is not always a bad thing.

A haiku for a rainy wedding:

is not really bad
we say: wet bride is lucky bride

If you're not exactly a big fan of cake, you may want to consider having a wedding pie! Down the street from our studio is the wonderful Hoosier Mama Pie Company, and we recently had the pleasure of seeing them serve up delicious dishes of apple, banana cream, French silk, strawberry rhubarb and other wonderful pies at Steve and Elaine's wedding. The bride and groom even had an elaborate double-decker banana cream wedding pie instead of cake. The creative couple made the cake toppers themselves out of clothes pins. So cute.

Regina went with a sexy red dress to match her beautiful roses at her cocktail style reception. Having a second dress for your reception can be a fun way to further express your style beyond the wedding gown.

Bridesmaids getting ready and enjoying the view at Trump International Hotel and Tower.
Helpful bridesmaids are the best thing in the world for any bride. If you have thoughtful, reliable and supportive friends and/or siblings to help rock your wedding day (so you avoid seeing the other side of that coin) be sure to thank them well. It cannot be over-stated how wonderful it is to be surrounded by cheerful and helpful bridesmaids...(or even just a few reliable pals if you are not having a bridal party).
