Here at Life In Bloom, our “off-season” is anything but slow for our event designers. This time of year, our designers are busy meeting with new clients and booking events for the upcoming year. As we meet with so many engaged couples, one thing we remind ourselves of is that wedding ceremonies come in all shapes and sizes.

EVENT DESIGN TRENDS

Our team was incredibly excited to work at one of Chicago’s newest wedding venues, 167 Events, this past Winter. So for this February wedding, we opted for a bold, colorful floral direction to create a moody romantic aesthetic. Surely, one of the greatest attributes about 167 Events is the floor to ceiling unobstructed views of […]

To say that this couple was easy going would have to be an understatement. Weeks before their big day, the venue was chosen, the flower design was decided upon, the 15 person guest list was created and remaining vendors were booked. Covid-19 created a different wedding day for these two than they imagined, but it […]

Morgan Manufacturing – The Space One of our favorite wedding venues, Morgan Manufacturing, is an industrial space in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. We have had the pleasure of working at the space multiple times per year, with each wedding looking different than the next. When you work in a space often and see […]

Walking into Mackenzie & Ryan’s wedding was out of a movie. The ceremony at Bridgeport Art Center was set with soft ivory draping, chic chandeliers and a breathtaking floral arch. This floral arch was like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The ceremony arch was full of trailing smilax vine and gorgeous white & blush blooms. […]

Meet Taylor: wedding planner extraordinaire, owner of Amelia Cole Events, and our stunning summer bride.  It is safe to say we could not have been more excited when Taylor asked us to bring her wedding vision to life. And let us be the first to say, it was epic. The Patrick Haley Mansion summer wedding […]

Brookley & Chris’s Morgan MFG Wedding in July was simply stunning!  We took a simple yet classic floral palette and through creative event design, developed a truly breathtaking and unique wedding. This might be one of our favorite all green and white floral palette weddings to date! From the personal flowers to the triangular floral […]

As engagement season approaches, our calendars have started to fill up with new client consultations! And one questions that we often get in our initial meetings pertains to centerpiece styles.  The event decor nomenclature can prove somewhat foreign at times.  So today, we’re sharing a few common centerpiece styles so you can start to familiarize […]

Another year is in the Books here at Life In Bloom!  And we have so much to be thankful for. We are specifically thankful that we get to design beautiful bouquets for a living!  Including bridesmaid bouquets and bridal bouquets, doing the math, we figured out that our team designed over 500 bouquets this season […]

On a warm summer day, the Chicago Illuminating Company was transformed into nothing short of a dream. Jenni and John started their day taking photos in the most beautiful gardens surrounded by their bridal party. Everyone dressed in their chic, black ensembles and Jenni in a stunning white gown with an illusion lace neckline. We […]

Anyone who knows us, knows that we love a good winter wedding.  Especially a January wedding! A January wedding is perfect for intimate, glowing candle-lit wedding ceremonies because it is already dark (at least in Chicago) by like 4:00pm so it is easy to create that warm cozy vibe.  This mood pretty much sums up […]
