There’s something special about summer weddings in Chicago. Photo by @jenniferlourie Hair and Makeup by @alana_ameliacandco
Wedding season: The season where I see the hard work from the months of planning come to fruition. The season I love and yet am ready for a break by the end. The season where I eat more crappy food than I'd like to admit. The season where coffee is my best friend. The season where my husband and I become ships passing in the night and our shared calendar is the only saving grace. • It's been over a month since I've last posted here. I feel guilty about it and then I realize that it's ok to take a break. Today, I'm working at my local coffee shop and getting all of the things done before I'm back into the buckets tomorrow. • Wedding season. I'll miss you when you're over. • Photo by @socialsquares #floraldesign #chicagoweddingflorist #chicagoweddingfloraldesign #weddingdesign #flourishandbloom #gardeninspireddesign #chicagoweddingvendor #ranunuculus #socialsquares #weddingstationerydesign #weddinginvitations
I love different color palettes and something a little unexpected.

With wedding season in full swing, I tend to take off Mondays and today was well spent. My family and I walked around Hyde Park. We visited @medicion57th for coffee and sandwiches (delish) then explored the most beautiful campus- @universityofchicago. We then headed to @msichicago so AJ could see the trains. We finished the day with dinner with my sister in law. Days like today (21,102 steps and all) make me remember to enjoy life and not just go through the motions of work (even though I love it), chores, and responsibilities. — Planning and photography: @kristinlavoiephoto Hair: @hollibeauty_bridal @hollibeauty_ Make-up: @joannabartistry Dress: @annacampbellbridal Floral: @flourishandbloomevents with @kcoleman07
It’s been a whirlwind of a spring wedding season and I’m trying to enjoy the hustle. My husband and I have been “ships passing in the night” and I’m ready for vacation so we can spend some quality time together. Have you been to Portland or Manzanita? Leave your favorite places or suggestions👇🏻! We’ll have our almost 3 year old with us.
