It is safe to say that I really slacked on blogging this past season. I found out that I was pregnant in the beginning of September (We are so excited to meet our little boy in May!), and the exhaustion kicked in hard for me. That meant that blogging was put on the back burner, but I still have so many amazing weddings to share with you all! As we kick off wedding season in just a month or two, I figured it is the perfect time to share some summer inspiration for all of you brides. 🙂

Where better to start than this gorgeous Chicago wedding?! Kristen and Bill were amazing to work with, and I am so happy they chose to celebrate their big day back in Chicago even though they live in Los Angeles. Their vibrant and fun personalities really shined through with their bright color scheme, and Flowers for Dreams did such an amazing job on the florals (lovin’ on those sunflowers with the green centers!).  Everything popped against the beautiful backdrop that is Galleria Marchetti, with its lush gardens and open, airy feel. Check out a sneak peak of their amazing day below!
