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 […]

Bridgeport Art Center You cannot compile a list of the best Chicago wedding venues without mentioning Bridgeport Art Center. The event space is raw and exposed, yet luxurious and elegant. There are two sections to the venue: Sculpture Garden & Skyline Loft. The Skyline Loft has epic views, however, the Sculpture Garden has a unique […]

When you think of winter weddings, you don’t often think of flowers. However, there are plenty of great flowers for winter weddings perfect for creating a romantic and lush winter ambience. As the Second edition of our “seasonal success” series, we’re introducing the perfect flowers for winter weddings! If you missed the First edition, check […]

Anyone who knows us, knows that we love a good winter wedding.  Especially a January wedding!

Gena and Sean celebrated their “big day” with a Morgan Manufacturing Wedding this past February. The couple wanted a winter-glam atmosphere, so picture this: guests enter the cocktail hour to find their names on suspended acrylic escort card boards. The names were printed on post-it notes, a personal touch since the couple has a history […]

Winter Wedding Inspiration to follow! In winter, it is usually dark outside by 4:30PM.  And that […]

Are you planning a winter wedding but struggling to pin down that perfect style?  Certainly you want to capture all of the beautiful simplicity of the season (the cool and neutral color palate and those crisp textures) all while conveying an aesthetic that evokes the joy of winter without feeling like a big holiday celebration […]

Back in November we produced an intimate, moody, candlelit wedding at the Chicago Athletic Association’s White City Ballroom for two very special Brides. The first snowfall of the year delicately covered the ground outside and made for a wintery whimsical view from the White City Ballroom while setting up.  From the ceremony to the dinner reception, […]

This past winter we had the pleasure of working with Betty and Johnny on their wedding at Prairie Production.  The blank white canvas that is Prairie Production allowed us to create a very bold and powerful statement with punches of pink and red.  The white ceremony drapes were tied back with beautiful arrangements filled with pink and red roses, […]
