For those of you who are familiar with the work of Claude Monet, upon recalling some of his famous paintings, images of a natural setting with reflective bodies of water baring lily pads likely come to mind. Inspired by Claude’s artistic style, trademarked by a seemingly blurry combination of oil pastels, and a love for […]

Timeless, elegant, and romantic to the core.  Those are just a few words to describe Andrea & Cam’s gorgeous wedding at the Chicago History Museum that we were so lucky to be a part of this past July!  Because Andrea is also in the wedding industry, we were so honored that she chose us to […]

Tieg and Nick (high school sweethearts) were married this past September at Kemper Lakes golf club, and we had the privilege of doing the flowers for both their reception and ceremony.  The two lucked out with the most perfect weather, as they held their ceremony outside along the lake. With the weeping willows acting as […]

Jessie & Chris were married at the Garfield Park Conservatory this past Fall in October.  The Garfield Park Conservatory, which sits on the outskirts of the city on the west side, is a historic gem!  The Architecture of the building itself is stunning, and when you combine that with its super lush and exotic array […]

There are several factors that make Thanksgiving one of the all-time best holidays. Food, family, and a Festive atmosphere! Since I’m spending the holiday in Colorado with family this year and thus won’t be able to decorate my own table, I figure the next best thing is to write a blog touching on some of […]

Katie & Jason were married this summer at the Lacuna Artists Lofts in Pilsen.  They came to us with a bright and colorful palette, but beyond that, Katie and Jason left much of the creativity up to us.  From the get-go, they were both super relaxed, and easy to work with and they were open to […]

Rachel & Abe were married this past spring at the Danada House in Wheaton, IL.  The Danada house is a beautiful venue surrounded by open fields filled with galloping horses — to put it simply, the perfect outdoor setting for a ceremony. The couple wanted a rustic feel without feeling too grungy.  With a soft […]

Mackalah & Brent were married in a beautiful barn in Knoxville, IL on June 7, 2014.  I’ve been to a lot of weddings and I’ve seen a lot of stuff… but I’ve never seen so much rain.  And yet it was absolutely perfect. When the torrential downpours forced the ceremony indoors, the setting quickly changed […]

Jenny & Craig were married this summer at Salvage One, and as eclectic of a venue as Salvage One is, the decor elements of their wedding flowed together seamlessly.  Jenny and Craig are such a sweet couple and were such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Jenny requested blush and romantic flowers for […]

I had the opportunity to design and produce a wedding for my Sister-In-Law, Jessica and now Brother-In-Law, Mike this past spring along with my other sister-in-law, Sheila of Ipomea Floral.  Jess & Mike were married at the gorgeous Skyline Loft at the Bridgeport Art Center on a beautiful day in April.  Inspired by the deep […]
