from the photographer... "Clear skies, blue waters, and a beautiful light breeze makes for a perfect day for a styled shoot along Lake Michigan at the exclusive Chicago Yacht Club! The dream team came together to take advantage of a beautiful spring day to showcase two different looks by Sweet Caroline Styles, flawless hair and make-up by Appease Inc., and elegant jewelry by Left Bank Jewelry. Grace Bower could not have a been more stunning bride wearing an ethereal, mint colored chiffon skirt with a tattoo lace, peek-a-boo top. The gown was complemented by luxe Italian silk shoes in a light blush hue and adorned with a Swarovski crystal. The lovely golden headpiece with ivory flowers set with crystals and pearls gave the bride a fairlytale finish! Her second look was a tulle pink skirt with a more structured, high-neck, flower embroidered crop-top."

"What an intimate way to invite your guests to celebrate with you on your big day with handmade invitations! In Loft Calligraphy blew away our expectations with handmade paper with watercolored blush pink and gray floral designs and an elegant hand! The custom invitation suite included hand calligraphed name plates and an RSVP envelope embellished with a wax seal and vintage stamps. The color palate was tied together with gorgeous flower arrangements from Davenport Design. The mercury vessels, brass candleholders and beautiful blooms accented table setting and wooden chairs provided by Tablescapes. The tiered ivory Vera Wang cake provided by Toni Patisserie filled the room with the aroma of delicious goodness! These moments were captured by Bonphotage and planning services were provided by Sayira with Sky Event Consultants."
