The very first time that Andrew met with Emilia, he could picture her wedding. One of the happiest & most-relaxed brides, Emilia had clear ideas of how she wanted her wedding to feel — a balanced mix of summer romance and casual family fun, with twinkling lights and candles everywhere. She imagined bright and airy flowers that would hold their own against the beautiful summer gardens outside the Redfield Estate at The Grove, in Glenview, Illinois. The stately historic home and covered pavilion are set amongst a 150-acre nature preserve, and Emilia & Nicholas planned their ceremony at the base of a giant oak tree. With most of the flowers sourced from a local flower farm, we were able to create the romantic garden wedding of her dreams. The long farm tables under the pavilion included scattered vases of summer blooms, creating a just-picked, wildflower feel. And we have to admit, Emilia’s bouquet might be one of our top 5 favorites of all time. I mean, really, just look at it.  

Leah & Drew’s wedding at the Morton Arboretum was a gorgeous day with the most beautiful sunset palette of peach, apricot, rust, and copper. The mood was an elegant fairytale set with layers of details and lots and lots of candles & twinkling lights. Featured flowers included Deep Expression garden roses, Free Spirit roses, peach ranunculus, copper butterfly ranunculus, coral snapdragons, burgundy cymbidium orchids, and multiple varieties of fragrant eucalyptus. The elegant and open space of the Gingko Room was a blank canvas waiting for this burst of late summer color. Congratulations, Leah & Drew! May all your dreams come true!
