2017 was an incredible year for the Life In Bloom team!  We designed and produced 51 weddings, 6 corporate events, 2 baby showers, and 1 bachelorette flower-crown workshop.  Contrast that to 43 weddings and 3 corporate events that we had in 2016 and you can see why this year was such a whirlwind!  None of […]

Bonjour Bebe! One of our favorite showers to date was held in the Club Room at 2550 N. Lakeview this Fall. Baby Jake was welcomed home with a French inspired baby shower to meet his new family and friends. Guests were welcomed with decadent bites by Truffleberry Market, photos with baby Jake, and a bouquet […]

We met Torie and Amarit one night in Lincoln Park and were instantly captivated by their eye for design and appreciation for our craft. Not only were they getting married at one of our favorite wedding spots, The Ivy Room, but they were excited to hear about our favorite items to design. Together we created […]

Carroll and Eric wanted to bring a taste of Colorado to their Ivy Room fall wedding in Chicago, and that is exactly what we did. Using antlers, twigs, hanging amaranthus, berries, and a whole lot of natural foliage we brought the outdoors… in! There were so many unique pieces we want to highlight from this Ivy […]

Oh how we love a good Galleria Marchetti Outdoor Wedding Ceremony, especially when peonies are involved! Our sweet bride, Da Sel, wanted a romantic, pastel wedding full of peonies, hydrangea, dusty miller, garden roses and subtle touches of eucalyptus for her spring wedding. To start, it helped that Da Sel fully trusted our ceremony vision […]

With a team of A-List vendors, a beautiful venue, and a gorgeous floral palette, it should be no surprise that Meredith and Mark’s wedding at Bridgeport Art Center is one of our all-time favorite weddings that we’ve ever produced here at Life In Bloom! When we first met with Meredith, she had a distinct and […]

Unique textures and romantic blooms were the brides wishes for her big day. Deena and Alex were married this past Spring at one of our favorite venues, 19 East. For their wedding, Deena wanted a romantic wedding with a unique twist, so that is exactly what we created. A hint of the unexpected, gave this wedding the perfect […]

Nothing says “Spring” to us floral designers like pink peonies! Lydia and Ben’s Chicago Wedding at the Adler Planetarium was full of pink peonies, trailing greenery, and romantic gold vases.  The ceremony was set outdoors at the Adler Planetarium with the most stunning skyline view over-looking Lake Michigan. A clean and simple white arch with shades of pink floral […]

Down a winding road in the lovely suburb of Lake Forest sits a historic venue called the Armour House. On March 4th, Andrea and Dan celebrated their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and the most delicate decor (if we do say so ourselves). Andrea’s vision for her wedding was perfectly in line with the style of […]

The goal in finding your perfect wedding venue, is finding one that already fits your style. By doing this, you are avoiding completely transforming a space unnecessarily, which in turn allows you to allocate more money to other areas. Do you love the outdoors and nature? Do you envision being surrounded by lush plants and greenery? If you answered “yes” to either […]
