Here is the question nobody answers. What does the tent do to your flowers? A tent is not a neutral […]
Every page you have read about Chicago hotel wedding venues publishes the same thing: capacity numbers. Four hundred and fifty seated. Seven hundred and fifty with the pre-assembly open.

There is a particular kind of pressure that comes with planning a gala in Chicago. The stakes are high. The guest list is discerning. The room needs to do more than impress — it needs to transport. Whether you’re a nonprofit fundraiser committee chair pulling together your organization’s most important night of the year, or […]
Why Out-of-Town Wedding Planners Choose Life In Bloom for Chicago Weddings There is a particular kind of pressure that only seasoned wedding planners understand — the pressure of vetting a vendor you have never met in person, for a client who expects perfection, in a city you may not call home. Chicago raises that pressure […]
