It was a beautiful Saturday that was threatened with showers and high winds yet somehow the storm circled around us, blessed us with sunshine and graced us with a rainbow... beginning to end. In March Roseann Hoffman, the mother of the bride, contacted me regarding her daughter Kristi's wedding. We hit it off immediately and for the past three months we've developed a friendship and design for the wedding their family would never forget. I met the bride and groom on their wedding day- no pressure right! Delicate, feminine touches were the focus for this June wedding with shabby chic details oozing all the way to the cucumber wrapped salad in soft green hues to the crystal details on name cards and HUGE peony blossoms. (Hmmm I just did a post on those didn't I?!?)
It was a huge success and a wonderful evening. I can't begin to say enough about the love and life that was carrying on in that barn! Thank you Rose and Tom for allowing me to be a part of your daughter's special day. It was such a privilege to breath life into your vision and anytime you need an event planner in Chicago you just let me know, I do travel! And congratulations to Paul & Kristi, the new Mr. & Mrs. Mariani!

The centerpieces were beautiful peony blossoms in pinks and whites.
The hand lettered calligraphy on the escort cards was stunning.
What a gorgeous cake. We had to cut it earlier in the reception because the bavarian mousse wasn't too fond of the humidity and warm weather.
The chandelier was draped in crystals and cherry blossoms.
The empty room was transformed into a beautiful, warm and inviting space.
