Real Wedding – Nadere + Jeff…Surprise!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with the most gorgeous couple for their unique {and shall we say unexpected?!} winter wedding in December.
Nadere and Jeff were engaged only a handful of months before their wedding day – the two have been together for ages and knew they didn’t want a long engagement. They also acknowledged early on that they wanted the wedding to be less about the spotlight, the show and teeny tiny details, but more about a celebration of the clear and complete love they share. When one jokingly suggested they should host a surprise wedding, they both giggled at the thought. And then they stepped back, individually, and let the ‘silly’ idea sink in a bit. They were sold.
Real Wedding – Yui & Bill!
Real Wedding – Chelsea and Adam!
Real Wedding – Diana and Reas!
Diana carried a gorgeous bouquet composed of insanely fragrant garden roses, ranunculus, anemones and scabiosa. The groom wore a dapper white anemone boutonniere. {David made a second boutonniere, as anemones are quite delicate and may need a swap out mid-day!}
All Dressed Up…!
Real Event…For Your Perfect Picnic!
Bliss Real Wedding!
This is the perfect example of a way to let other elements lend color to your event, rather than simply relying on flowers for color {a much surer way to get the exact hue you’re looking for}.
Wish a Wish…
Bliss Weddings was beyond honoured to be ask to coordinate the first ever Chicago Wish Upon a Wedding. A new charity similar to Make a Wish Foundation, Wish Upon a Wedding has a very special focus: to give weddings to people affected by life-threatening illnesses.
It gives couples a chance to focus on things other than health issues, medical bills and treatment schedules. Wish Upon a Wedding allows committed couples to share and experience the wedding of their dreams, without cost or sacrifice on their end. All services are donated – from gowns to make-up, from music to decor.
Press Feature…Who ME?!!
I was honoured to be selected by The Knot magazine as one of their Style Stalker Features in their current Spring/Summer 2010 issue.
They reached out to me months ago, hoping for loads of information about my personal wedding style – and after 5 pages of written beauty and design goodness that I passed along, The Knot narrowed it down to a few simple questions and {some paraphrased} answers. I thought I’d elaborate just a bit.. {but please forgive me for any overlapped details from previous entries!}
