A Vision of Romance from the Very First Meeting
From the very first meeting, Andrew could envision Emilia’s wedding. She was one of the happiest, most relaxed brides, with a crystal-clear vision: a celebration that blended summer romance with casual family fun. Picture twinkling lights, glowing candles, and airy floral designs perfectly complementing the season.
The wedding took place at the stunning Redfield Estate at The Grove in Glenview, Illinois—a stately historic home with an elegant covered pavilion, surrounded by a breathtaking 150-acre nature preserve. Emilia and Nicholas exchanged vows beneath the sweeping branches of a majestic oak tree, a setting that felt both intimate and timeless.
Locally Sourced Flowers for a Romantic Garden Wedding
With most blooms sourced from a local flower farm, we curated floral arrangements that captured Emilia’s vision of effortless beauty. Her bouquet featured a romantic mix of summer florals in soft, airy tones. The pavilion’s long farm tables were decorated with scattered vases of vibrant seasonal blooms, creating a just-picked wildflower feel that enhanced the venue’s natural charm.
Emilia’s bridal bouquet stands out as one of our top five favorites of all time. Lush, textural, and artfully arranged, it perfectly reflected the romantic garden style she had imagined.
