All the parts and pieces of this event were perfect. Wedding at a vintage church, Private photo session at Grant park with champaign and croquet. Ending at the Palmer House in their newly renovated ballroom. Deb Lily of A Perfect Event strikes again with flawless style.

Don't forget to take advantage of great opportunities to have a more fluid story to your photography. This couple exit the church in style. The photo's are timeless and natural done by our Katy and Dale.

 

Create a dramatic entrance to your reception. This wedding wowed all their guests with a floral master piece using an existing arbor and a lot of imagination.

Intimate rooms for dinner. Each having it's own decor statement like this one by Deb Lily at A Perfect Event. So lovely.

Bejeweled flowers in the hair are all the rage. The new simple elegant hair is perfectly complimented with a bit of this unexpected embellishment.

We spy a great new way to make a statement. The bride and grooms monogram on the back of the chairs. Leave this great statement idea to the genius of Nuage Designs.

Don't forget the old fashion traditions like this sign in the back of the car. This little touches make far lovely pictures.

Create a dance club within your reception. We are seeing all kinds and colors at events this year. Makes the dance a bit of an event itself.  This one at the Breakers sets the bar.
