They got dressed separately so that they could still do the first look, but all of the prep generally happened in the same space. It makes it nice and easy for your media team to be able to go from one person to the other that way! We also loved the purple that you’ll see throughout their wedding day in their details - it really was one of the most intentional weddings we have worked in making sure everything was cohesive! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/652a9038-0cdf-4880-819d-013ab10eae9d/IGphotovideo_57_2025+%28243%29.jpg Blog - Whimsical and Romantic Summer Wedding at Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature - Sarah and Callen Both Sarah and Callen’s looks were perfect - we loved how unique and special both Sarah’s dress and Callen’s suit were! We had never seen a dress that had ruching like this and it reminded us of a flower, and then the color of Callen’s suit matching all of their details was amazing. They both looked so sharp and lovely and of course SO happy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/5235caab-15bd-4f69-8ccb-866e95bb642c/IGphotovideo_57_2025+%28260%29.jpg Blog -

They always pick such unique and beautiful varieties of flowers, and of course it was a good time of year for peonies too so that helped! The florals and design for the ceremony and reception too when you see it is something out of a movie and they did a fantastic job bringing everything together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/241fa6b6-a8d2-4127-9da1-ff8f93abf4f8/Bride+and+groom+Jewish+wedding+signing+ketubah+at+Greenhouse+Loft.jpg Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max Before the ceremony, Alleana and Max signed their ketubah with their family and friends as witnesses in the wedding suite. We loved their ketubah’s design with the painted blues - we did our best to flatten it out but not damage the paint since it was brought in a large tub, and thankfully it all worked out well in the end! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/86d2d65b-4633-459c-b529-6fce2bad6a77/Jewish+Coastal+blue+wedding+ceremony+at+Greenhouse+loft+in+Chicago Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cc1f61d4-d6b7-4839-8640-9236db575107/Bride+and+groom+Jewish+wedding+ceremony+at+Greenhouse+Loft.jpg Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2f05332b-6f66-44d8-8a51-0b4ed830f538/Mazeltov+Jewish+wedding+ceremony+at+Greenhouse+Loft+in+Chicago.jpg Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/094e79f8-bb5a-4f8e-9c00-5b8b95c22fe1/Bride+and+groom+about+to+stomp+on+the+bagged+glass+for+Jewish+wedding+ceremony Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c757ebc7-b658-4022-a415-65d12be1c9e5/Bride+and+groom+kiss+under+chuppah+Jewish+wedding+ceremony.jpg Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/0cadfbc6-eaef-47c4-95df-312951594e97/Reception+room+reveal+at+Greenhouse+Loft+wedding+in+Chicago Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max Alleana and Max did some family portraits together in the outdoor patio area, and then spent most of their cocktail hour alone decompressing in the wedding suite.

It was great kicking off the dance floor for them, but eventually they were mingling with all of their guests and enjoying the rest of the night together. One of the nice things about Greenhouse Loft is that they have an in-house DJ but also an in-house photo booth! They took some photos and their guests really loved it too. We could tell the day was going exactly as they had hoped with how happy they were throughout the whole night and we are so thankful to have helped make sure it went well for them and their guests alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/099b24c9-77d0-4070-a953-61a8b7496de4/Cheers+to+the+newlyweds+at+Greenhouse+Loft+in+Chicago Blog - Coastal, Spring Wedding Feature: Alleana and Max Firmly Rooted Events If you’re looking to have a wedding where you can focus on celebrating with your family and friends and not on the details, reach out to us at our contact page and we would be happy to help you have a great time on your wedding day! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/goose-island-barrel-house-wedding monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b82eb678-9cc5-403f-a3b5-1ae50955c854/Cheers+at+sweetheart+table+of+Goose+Island+Barrel+House.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936763883-EV5WE6UWPWRXNIKDUXDS/Photo-2+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936763795-17DTZKNDSV4E9V18MPXZ/Photo-4+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936764939-37G75AYOANBHJLKHTTI7/Photo-10+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936766500-29H9CV4O3E81RJCZVFB9/Photo-34+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936767621-G5ZN2PKA6XIE23D5XB9P/Photo-37+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936767709-W3WFN606JMWTSJSW7N6M/Photo-40+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936765299-Q690BPCS8CO197AWKNW4/Photo-24+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936766324-CICR7B6UEYETY6QU52AE/Photo-30+Large.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1768936804493-YKH8WLT25A8XMMUMZBIA/Photo-46%2BLarge.jpg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/29163cfb-1c07-4aa0-b4ff-b814b64372a6/Bridal+portrait+for+wedding+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry Hayley’s dress had some of the most unique and beautiful texture we have ever seen.

We also get to see that detail we talked about earlier again throughout the decor - the coupe glasses were so classy and elegant and we love that it lasted in so many details of their decor and planning! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/96ecbd57-1960-45e4-b2bb-663a96d0c282/Goose+Island+Barrel+House+wedding+reception+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/aaeb19f3-1daa-40ba-a720-5f3be540c1ee/Wedding+party+photos+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/82713b96-77d7-4cdd-93fa-43bda8b1e148/Groomsmen+wedding+party+photos+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fad0e8c8-309f-425a-9fe6-e0e6b8142afb/Full+wedding+party+photos+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a921f839-5afe-48d8-a361-d564bc470d0a/Editorial+wedding+party+photos+in+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d5c2af65-2be0-46af-9209-3c252cc3607b/Wedding+ceremony+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b1ffdcd5-6f19-43bd-af7a-2663285b4dcc/Recessional+for+wedding+ceremony+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ea5c300c-5d59-4768-9c59-cfbeefa6c79e/Couple+laughing+at+wedding+ceremony+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ec6e91a3-fd9e-4d01-ab39-852ab048ce1f/First+kiss+at+wedding+ceremony+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f0b46c3d-4522-4fe3-8417-2e999cc5d920/Dip+kiss+at+wedding+ceremony+recessional+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/de40bade-0917-4672-bec3-8ddc6c5f5dc3/Cocktail+hour+Goose+Island+beer+at+Goose+Island+Barrel+House+in+Chicago.jpeg Blog - Romantic and Fun Wedding at Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago, IL Wedding Feature: Hayley and Henry The guests during cocktail hour finally got to enjoy the hand-selected beers and everyone really enjoyed them!

We wanted to make the ceremony as free of back-lighting as possible while still making it make sense with the layout of the room. Thankfully, everything went off without a hitch for the layout! The ceremony was nice and quick which helped keep things on time to account for the late guests coming up the elevators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/aef6db64-f29a-4a46-a27b-9429abf55716/Nikki-Kevin-Married-October-2024%28712of1183%29+Large.jpeg Blog - Unique and Fun Wedding Feature: Nikki and Kevin After the ceremony, Nikki and Kevin went to the wedding suite to eat appetizers and soak in that they’re married!

We really saw all of their guests have a good time - sitting in the lounging area and laughing together, tearing it up on the dance floor, or getting to take home their own photo strips from the photo booth to keep their memories of the fun they had… Everyone really was able to enjoy the wedding day however they’d like. We appreciate providing a great guest experience by providing lots of options for them, like the audio guestbook that they had from After the Tone too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a3794d09-ed94-4048-ac1c-e5bf63215f1d/629A1736-2.jpg Blog - Ethereal, Classic, and Elegant Summer Wedding at Artifact Events in Chicago Wedding Feature: Sydni and Jalen Overall, Sydni and Jalen really were so much fun to get to know and see with such big smiles on their wedding day.

We had a great time making sure that they could focus on the fun and it was such a pleasure to be a part of coordinating their wedding day! It was clear that Sydni and Jalen had a lovely time with their family and friends and could get to dancing as soon as possible!

Modern, Classic, Fall Wedding at Galleria Marchetti in Chicago Wedding Feature: Sydney and Macintosh Overall, Sydney and Mack had a beautiful and fun wedding that we adored and we were so grateful to be a part of. We wanted to take care of all of their details, decor, and logistics to really allow them take it all in and focus on having fun with their family and friends, and they really were all smiles all day and night. We loved how much everyone enjoyed their time and clearly were ready to have a great time with each other! Sydney and Mack were really able to pass off their wedding plans to their vendors and have a great time. If you’re looking to have a wedding where you can focus on the fun and not on the details, reach out to us at our contact page and we would be happy to help you have a great time on your wedding day! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/the-average-wedding-budget-youll-need-for-a-wedding-in-chicago monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/34651dbd-3561-4398-bba1-f0eb5a565069/Chicago+wedding+guests+grand+exit+reception+couple+kissing+guests+cheering.jpeg Blog -

Being able to get some photos done before your wedding ceremony really is helpful to ensure you can take full advantage of your day together. If you don’t do a first look, you really don’t get to see each other for the better half of your day. It’s also a good time to get some of those nerves out and we just love that you can build in such an intimate moment for the two of you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/5bdcd6c8-8edd-45c0-946e-4bbdfee61881/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-337.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c49c9909-1e93-4ff7-a565-a915528af2c1/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-297.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f9224bb9-a80d-4dfe-ab60-3f6ef51d7db5/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-302.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/348b3785-93e5-409f-b2ab-555f6ff71159/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-334.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d5da5535-49ac-45fb-979e-7db9333b4c13/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-377.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d7e88bb5-7af0-43fa-874e-323b2267ad89/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-379.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/07497fdf-077d-4b3a-b05b-a3754d1ec89c/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-378.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/20d8b7b2-0b9f-47ce-b8ed-a4581d8d1256/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-368.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fe07aed9-e11e-469f-a882-e76370ce4010/The+Wedding+of+Elizabeth+%2B+Alvin+by+Fox+%26+Ivory-464.jpg Blog - Fun, Fall Wedding Feature: Liz and Alvin The wedding ceremony was at Assumption Catholic Church and it was a beautiful, wonderful church to work at!

We absolutely adore seeing our couples happy and excited about getting married without a worry in the world and we are so thankful we were able to have had a hand in that. Weddings that are the most fun are when the couple can pass off their plans to their team of vendors and can focus on being present with their family and friends with their wedding being so personal to them. Liz and Alvin’s day was a great testament to how much fun a couple can have for their wedding day!

The venue is partially underground, so the photos all were flash and that really adds to the classic, movie-esque aesthetic for the day too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3f0f99fa-91c1-4290-bc2d-6d6d9884ce73/AI2A4289+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden Our personal favorite detail of the wedding day was the seating chart - the couple used classic movies as the table “numbers” and added their guests’ names into the cast list for them to find their table! We thought that this touch was so unique and spoke so much to the couple and what is important to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/998ca9d7-1331-4ad0-9067-c5c8398c0695/AI2A4404-2+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden While the guests were starting to file in for the ceremony, the wedding party got to hang out and get ready for the fun. We just love so many of the photos from the gallery that really made everyone look like beautiful movie stars! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/77d06b1a-66ea-4cd3-aa7a-d3548dc2d040/AI2A4447+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden Taylor and Braden brought about 300 candles to help make the space so romantic and we set some of them for the ceremony aisle. We had to change the spacing for the aisle because we didn’t want Taylor’s ballgown to be at risk of a fire hazard, and of course all went well down the aisle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2e84a7a7-c290-49cc-bf5f-f4dacdf526ee/GOP34194-2+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ee87542c-9d9a-462e-ba5a-cde7add4edf8/AI2A4604-2+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cbbb7af5-fc0a-4769-939a-c0de945e6915/AI2A4613+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/10e0c993-af50-49e8-8805-f2de8ade9b6c/AI2A4881+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/7f79461e-55c2-4c76-9703-aa751f9ba9f5/AI2A4910+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fb0e3ef0-d43e-437a-99fb-e7aa2273f332/AI2A4905+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/356588f3-1284-421b-a25c-61a353c8b9f2/GOP34068+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/98c8a3f8-993d-4add-8b5c-35bd0a465f97/AI2A5007+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/baaffc99-473f-4e79-be9d-9ab654865643/GOP26759+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d2f291fe-afc5-4697-abac-a009d04a5577/AI2A5049-2+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/09028114-a429-4d51-a421-2acc045889e1/AI2A5035+Large.jpeg Blog - Jazzy, Romantic, Restaurant Wedding at Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago: Taylor and Braden They also had cigar rollers come and make cigars for everyone!

We also are really glad Meranda also went with a classy ponytail due to how hot it was outside - I’m sure that was nice to have her hair off her back and to show off her backless dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1500ac29-107f-4ef8-8bf5-f1e265a30eb6/ZAND6389-2.jpg Blog - The Gold Pyramid in Wadsworth, Illinois Unique and Fun Wedding Feature: Meranda and Danny The day had a lot of classic elements to it, including Meranda and Danny’s looks for the day and the florals. The sleek lines from her dress, the simple, white bouquet, and general vibe was purely modern and classic. The main elements that brought the uniqueness of the day were things like the venue, the decor, and the entertainment you’ll see below! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/06837989-e065-463b-a5e2-8659e4b04da0/ZAND6934.jpg Blog - The Gold Pyramid in Wadsworth, Illinois Unique and Fun Wedding Feature: Meranda and Danny The wedding party had an array of colors for dresses that we loved.

There is nothing that compares to this magician that was at cocktail hour - all of the guests LOVED him! AJ was so personable and so much fun to watch. It’s definitely something that will stand out to all of the guests forever as a really cool, unique part of Meranda and Danny’s wedding day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a8fe5bff-fdf2-4afa-bd1a-6353c62cdaa5/0G8A1387-2.jpg Blog -

Pink Especially in the height of the Barbie movie, pinks really are seeing their moment this year. You can go with anything between pale pinks and deep magentas to really make a statement of beauty. Pink is a very easy accent color if you’re not looking to light up the room necessarily, or you can go really daring and bright to really wow your guests. It also seems to be popular now because the Pantone color of the year really stood it's ground too, and now the people that liked it last year are getting married this year. It’s no surprise that it’s coming up more often! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/18e58040-e1c6-47a5-898f-98f79b89f256/h-pre-12.jpg Blog - 6 Most Common Colors for your 2024 Wedding in Chicago - Make it stand out Photo credit: Honey and Joy Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2ee77469-a7bd-40d5-8475-4c9459b6d1ea/pexels-carsten-vollrath-16561147+Large.jpeg Blog - 6 Most Common Colors for your 2024 Wedding in Chicago - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ddcd059f-970a-4a9f-beb5-9fef1cd69e1e/Peach+Workshop++-+Ashley+Fox+Designs+Wedding+Flowers+Minnesota.jpeg Blog - 6 Most Common Colors for your 2024 Wedding in Chicago 4. Peach If the pinks in number 1 are too much but you love that vibe, the peaches are really where it’s at! It’s less harsh but it is truly so gorgeous. You can really go any direction with the formality of the wedding - it can be an elegant garden party, or a relaxed, quirky day too!

Specifically fall weddings love this look with having the flowers match the leaves, but really this color palette is a beauty no matter what time of the year. Having a larger color palette like this also allows for you to choose any focal color you want and still have a colorful, lively wedding day.

Canvas Venue in Wheeling, Illinois Wedding Feature: Madison and Austin The day got started with hair and makeup at Canvas.

They all were in black which was very elegant and matched the vibe of the day. The girls were also able to choose a style of the dress that they felt most comfortable in which is always nice to take their opinions into account. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ee9a2a3b-60fd-4a82-931e-a8e7b9aea51f/RakowWedding_WeddingParty_0271.jpg Blog - Canvas Venue in Wheeling, Illinois Wedding Feature: Madison and Austin One of my favorite photos of the whole day is usually any kind of grand exit and this is definitely the best one to me!

The song Madison had chosen was “The Vow” by RuthAnne, and she had us time the wedding party so that she entered at the biggest moment in the song to open the curtains and it really was iconic. I saved that song on Spotify after the wedding and it still gives me chills when it builds to “the moment”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/83497be7-2937-4588-8ec6-b68f1e20fed0/RakowWedding_Ceremony_0569.jpg Blog - Canvas Venue in Wheeling, Illinois Wedding Feature: Madison and Austin This wedding also featured the shortest ceremony we’ve ever had - it was 9 minutes from the start of the processional to the end of the recessional! Their main focus was to do exactly what was necessary for the ceremony to be legal and get straight to the reception. I absolutely loved it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/eea1af12-6d28-4752-8a74-fadfbcc47a5a/RakowWedding_Ceremony_0618.jpg Blog - Canvas Venue in Wheeling, Illinois Wedding Feature: Madison and Austin Okay, this might have actually been my favorite shot of the day.

Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian Jenissa and Christian opted to skip the first look and really soak in the moment when they see each other down the aisle. As long as you build in enough time between the ceremony and the reception for photos and make sure to take advantage of the sunset like they did, this is totally an option if you can’t get passed how you’ve probably envisioned your wedding day since you were young. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/aa2f4ecc-a8fa-43ab-8e7e-83d4b715acad/Finals-129.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian When the couple was on their way to the venue, it started to rain just a tad. The guests were thankfully covered by the patio in the back for cocktail hour, but we definitely were hopeful that the rain would let up later for some photos out in the vineyard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/137440b7-682e-44bb-82cc-2a3b9e4e33e0/Finals-179.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e5889120-5c0d-4821-8b60-a835091d391c/Finals-135.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian Jenissa and Christian were able to get some gorgeous videos as well as the lovely photos from Brooke and David!

The weather can be unpredictable, so it’s really nice that there was some time where they were able to get outside for some beautiful photos. I really couldn’t pick any favorites so I have a handful of them here for you to swoon over like I did! I really loved that even though they only did their photos onsite of the reception, there is such a variety to choose from for their portraits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e7ace967-ca9a-4fe4-ac5f-c0b53b6cd40b/Finals-529.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ab8723de-dfff-4dd4-80fc-2523fd659e75/Finals-493.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1aa9253c-1abc-473b-82c4-ac3fad468bdb/Finals-475.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/97bf332b-7a95-440a-936c-3c55e38cb39f/Finals-484.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/906b9321-d489-4f32-b2d6-979c5566632c/Finals-549.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f81fb492-7d40-4ce3-bad1-cc8ed5544b0b/Finals-573.jpg Blog - Providence Vineyard in Hebron, Illinois Wedding Feature: Jenissa and Christian Jenissa also had a reception dress along with a ponytail that I just lived for!! When it got a little darker outside, the guests also really loved the LED foam sticks that were brought out to the dance floor.

The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago Figuring out the overarching themes and colors took some time. I originally planned for everything that was primary colors, but our florist said that adding in some peaches would bring some warm, earthier feelings for the day. I knew that the artists would be more modern and that was going to be shown in their wedding as well. By this point, we had pretty much all of the vendors selected and it was a matter of making sure we knew the specifics! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/60d2e791-8ee6-4ca7-91e4-6b02f3001868/I%26D-214.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago Lacuna Lofts literally was the perfect venue for this shoot. The loft-y feeling brought in the modern elements to me, but the unique features of actual art throughout the building really sold me. I knew that this one-of-a-kind venue would be an amazing place to showcase a unique part of a couple’s personality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/02a56b26-857e-471d-a111-a4aca4bdbf45/I%26D-130.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago We had the couple getting ready while we were doing the setup. The photos of the couple were amazing because we had all the time in the world! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/37afd096-9240-4f5c-9e88-3fabf9849e38/I%26D-20.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago When we went dress shopping, I really wanted something simple, modern, and sleek. I wanted an intentional contrast of the “artistic side” of their personality and I thought that this dress was the perfect amount of modern and sleek with this incredible beading that really made it stand out! I still did want some more texture to really make the bride stand out and with a textured veil I thought that that would make the whole look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d4fd3090-0acd-4ce8-a1b8-3abff7e2bb3f/I%26D-30.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago The stationery had the perfect mix of modern and artsy. I definitely could see the intention with all of the pieces of the invitation suite to really show who the couple really was! We had Amanda do our custom stationery throughout the whole wedding, and she knew exactly how to capture our theme for the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/813d3460-cbf1-4ef5-9a12-fd4865467aca/I%26D-425.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3d5bd573-4323-4fd7-8b0a-337fafbf0611/I%26D-277.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c1b16797-69c6-4358-b6bc-cb07c33f8d80/I%26D-581.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cf24c89a-afde-4c47-8a0e-c5f1c6530969/I%26D-490.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a7099547-7d08-479a-a05f-d935cf81855c/I%26D-495_websize.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/75bda081-10eb-4546-b158-02c82fd6cd78/I%26D-505_websize.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/681dde9c-5686-4e0f-aacb-6b3ee76ac4d9/I%26D-614.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago With our tables, I definitely wanted to add some of our last touch points of the modern and artist themes. I think that Leah’s colors of the flowers really bring in the beauty and artistry of the day as well as the painted table numbers that Amanda made! There were also some dinner menus that matched the style of the signature drink signs that guests could see the dinner, dessert, and late night snack options that would later be provided during the “evening”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/81b468d9-3217-4b0b-9c6c-7c1457322027/I%26D-449.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago We also figured that an artist would love a good charcuterie board!! Kirstin did an amazing job using the extra bar table and creating a masterpiece. This was one of those vendors that was non-negotiable to me for making this theme work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/7a4ee7e1-cba2-4a9d-8a72-0edff92e133b/I%26D-528.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago One other non-negotiable vendor to make this shoot make sense was having a live painter. It only makes sense that artists would want to show off a piece from their own wedding day! One of my favorite parts is to see the real painting come to life. We made sure to have a reaction from the couple as well, as that is always one of the best moments of the night when couples have a live painter. Komal did a spectacular job bringing this shoot together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9807299b-8ecb-4522-9cbe-1c775016770a/I%26D-109.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/70143663-efe6-4a89-9ac9-667f119bb7e5/I%26D-536.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/0955b9e8-4a48-4299-8bc5-6a6577bbdaea/I%26D-50.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d68b79a3-1eeb-46c0-86ac-02fedb820c22/I%26D-59.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b24fc1a9-6813-4a8b-b837-10c339eb2579/I%26D-626.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago Nadiya had made the top part of the cake real, but the bottom was made of foam - that’s usually a good plan for cake cuttings without breaking the bank! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9e99475f-2856-40ec-824d-305a5bbcc262/I%26D-685.jpg Blog - The Process and Planning Behind our Love Struck Artists Styled Shoot in Chicago Overall, this shoot was really fun to do!

Donate It If you’re not really interested in holding onto it, you can opt to donate it to someone. Whether it’s a person you know or you just want it to go to a good home, you can always try places like Goodwill or other donation centers that speak to you. You can also put it on Facebook Marketplace for $0 if you want to open it up to the internet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/25151453-02c2-492d-84a7-0a4634d4ae07/Illinois+wedding+bride+walking+in+flowy+wedding+dress+outdoors+in+green+lush+forest.jpeg Blog - 7 Things you can do with your Wedding Dress after your Wedding - 5. Alter It A recent trend for your wedding dresses are to alter it into a new outfit or dress that you can wear more frequently. That way it actually gets more than one use and isn’t just stuck in a box forever! You can make it into a midi dress, a robe… the opportunities are endless and you’ll be able to show it off more than once! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/085ecc67-d5fd-494f-96e7-a9148be4ad90/Illinois+wedding+bride+in+doorway+looking+out+wedding+dress+shot+Large.jpeg Blog - 7 Things you can do with your Wedding Dress after your Wedding - 7. Pass It Down The last thing that people opt to do is to pass your dress down to your future children. Very few couples opt to wear their parent’s or grandparent’s wedding dresses, but you can always have them take pieces of it or alter it into something more fit for their time. There is another trend where people are altering their parent’s or grandparent’s wedding dresses into the more casual dresses to wear to their rehearsal dinner or to alter it into the robe that they get ready in in the morning. I would usually recommend getting it preserved if this is the plan so it keeps its color! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/how-to-prepare-for-your-hair-and-makeup-trial-for-your-wedding-day monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4a77629a-74ae-44be-98df-f211734dbbac/Illinois+wedding+hair+updo+with+floral+hair+accessories.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare for your Hair and Makeup Trial/Preview for your Wedding Day - Look up Inspo It’s definitely important to have a general vision of how you would like to look on your wedding day. Make sure to find some photos of ideas that you like the look of, and try and figure out exactly what parts of the hair and makeup that you do and don’t like. If you can, I would recommend looking at your own hair stylist and makeup artist’s work because you know that they are looks that they are able to pull inspiration from! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/8a3c52d0-560d-4b46-a739-260d397b2f43/Illinois+wedding+bride+getting+makeup+done+getting+ready+shots+bride+dressed+in+wedding+dress+while+getting+touchups.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare for your Hair and Makeup Trial/Preview for your Wedding Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4bda6dd7-3a69-4e30-8603-50f64b0a056d/Illinois+wedding+makeup+look+glam+bride+in+car+with+bouquet+heading+to+the+ceremony.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare for your Hair and Makeup Trial/Preview for your Wedding Day - Talk about Prep Your hair stylists and makeup artists likely will have their own recommended regimen to best prep your hair and your face for the products to work at the best capacity possible. If they don’t have it in their contract or invoices, I would recommend reaching out to them personally about 3 weeks before your trial to ask how you can best prepare your face and hair with any practices or products to make sure you get the most of your money’s worth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c7851bf2-f8a1-49a3-9fa2-6e9a63a921ec/Illinois+wedding+getting+ready+shots+of+bride+getting+makeup+done+black+and+white+photo+in+a+hotel+room+with+dress+hanging+on+the+wall+and+getting+makeup+done.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare for your Hair and Makeup Trial/Preview for your Wedding Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/redfield-estate-glenview-wedding-feature-katy-and-brent monthly 0.5 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c3986358-b73b-4578-9917-aeabe4825761/Chicago-Wedding-Photography-by-Megan-Saul-Cocktail+%28100+of+150%29.jpg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Make it stand out Photo: Megan Saul Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2ee2e5ba-a175-49b3-b904-1d0a5e826413/ezlan-powers-wedding-photography-redfield-grove-estate-ceremony-148+Large.jpeg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Make it stand out Photo: Ezlan powers photo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ac812f22-be5c-4d4b-941d-e3616e08ec73/DRP-M%2BM-378.jpg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Make it stand out Photo: danielle rose photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c96aeed8-c08e-455b-b5aa-bde4edf7ccdd/Steph%26JillWedding_CRasmussen-0230+Large.jpeg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Make it stand out Photo: christian rasmussen photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4d6868b5-c9d7-4295-b360-c9d19ca54982/DRP-M%2BM-605.jpg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Make it stand out Photo: Danielle Rose Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/502f0883-53f9-435e-a139-80759fab2cf3/Chicago-Wedding-Photography-by-Megan-Saul-Dancing+%28120+of+126%29.jpg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Make it stand out Photo: Megan Saul Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/76ddbdb8-2c9e-4eda-843d-31e06d98fd78/acrafedbrand-362.jpg Blog - Redfield Estate at the Grove in Glenview, Illinois Wedding | Venue Spotlight and Wedding Feature - Need help planning or coordinating your Redfield Estate wedding?

Phone Guestbook A phone guest book is great because it isn’t only good for the guests, but it’s an amazing way to keep memories of your loved ones in a way that isn’t just photos. Usually the guests are so excited and can’t help but talk about how lovely your day is and it’s really memorable for them to have the opportunity to “tell you in person!” Additionally, being able to hear wedding guests that you might not hear from often or that have passed away is something that you can’t replace.

I would say it’s best to not do too many things before the dinner is served as your guests may be getting very hungry, but it is incredibly common and even recommended to do a cake cutting at this time nowadays because it doesn’t interrupt dinner later, and your caterers can work on cutting and serving the cake in a more timely fashion. After the grand entrance is finished, it’ll be time for your DJ to announce that dinner is ready to be served and you can begin the rest of your reception festivities! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/how-to-choose-your-wedding-colors-for-your-chicago-wedding monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/6022ebb2-a895-44a9-ad82-e8a8cfb01ad8/Illinois+wedding+colorful+florals+and+drinks+with+a+blue+floral+cake.jpeg Blog - How to Choose your Wedding Colors for your Chicago Wedding - The Season This one can easily be brushed off, but the season of your wedding day may have a large effect on what colors most people will steer clear of or gravitate towards. Generally, you can choose “brights for lights”, like lighter colors for those lighter days. Pastels or other light colors will always work well in the spring and the summer, and darker, cooler colors tend to work well for the fall and the winter. Sage greens are really popular for the summer while emerald greens are more popular in the winter. Dusty Roses are more often found in summer, whereas maroon is more in the winter. Fall colors tend to be burnt/darker orange shades as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/54dc46ab-6982-4d06-867e-dd40dfbd2990/Illinois+wedding+colorful+and+vibrant+florals+with+couple+posing+with+their+dog+.jpeg Blog - How to Choose your Wedding Colors for your Chicago Wedding - Themes If you’re planning on having any specific themes for your wedding day, this can definitely influence your decisions for a wedding color. If you’re having a New Years Eve wedding for example, you’ll likely be sticking with black and gold to match the theme. If you have any specific themes in mind, if you start researching weddings that have those same themes you will likely find a pattern with common wedding colors that would be a good way to emulate that theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/28e92038-a0c4-4f57-9260-4697c4649f15/Illinois+wedding+bridal+portrait+outdoors.jpeg Blog - How to Choose your Wedding Colors for your Chicago Wedding - Your Personal Preferences If you have a favorite color that you want to use but you’re not sure if it will work with your theme, you can do whatever you want and just go for it! You can really make anything happen as long as you build the aesthetics and the theme around the color. You’ll likely be able to find inspiration online for anything - you may have different seasons than the photos, but it will all come together on the actual day as long as you plan your decor accordingly! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-making-your-wedding-website-and-what-should-be-included monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/71a01eef-3bb4-48e9-b998-dcc915c510a3/Illinois+wedding+blush+and+light+wedding+decorations+and+florals+romantic+roses+as+centerpieces+for+the+reception+tables.jpeg Blog -

The Inside Scoop on Tipping your Wedding Vendors and Why it isn’t Factored into our Cost - What’s Better than a Tip? A Review! In all honestly, I would much rather have a great review written by my couples than to receive a tip. The value of the reviews on Google and The Knot is way more important than the extra cash for me, and I’ll always tell my couples that good reviews are worth gold!! If every couple from now on gave me a glowing review instead of a monetary tip, I would be elated!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a2ffa60f-880b-4bab-ba87-fd0f156641e1/Illinois+wedding+winter+cold+vibe+with+couples+portraits+focused+on+the+bride%27s+bouquet.jpeg Blog - The Inside Scoop on Tipping your Wedding Vendors and Why it isn’t Factored into our Cost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/what-to-do-about-an-uneven-wedding-party monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/13102b77-c171-4b6c-bbf9-f2cf55576ba3/Illinois+wedding+outdoor+ceremony+with+big+tree+and+uneven+wedding+party.jpeg Blog - What to do about an Uneven Wedding Party for your Wedding Day - Have Groups of Three Many people are concerned about how the wedding party will look while walking down the aisle. Most couples will opt to have the larger side have two people walk with one person from the smaller side as a group of three. This doesn’t look weird to the guests and it ensures that none of your family and friends will have to ride solo if you don’t want that for them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/6819efe6-08cd-44a3-bd0e-e5918703635e/pexels-carsten-vollrath-13728538+Large.jpeg Blog - What to do about an Uneven Wedding Party for your Wedding Day - Have a Few Walk Individually Alternatively, if you like the idea of pairs and your wedding party member is okay with riding solo, you can have them walk down the aisle by themselves instead. It really doesn’t last that long and again, I promise it doesn’t look odd! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4ac8aab5-5fae-4fb3-8366-838ed50ca209/pexels-carsten-vollrath-16561147+Large.jpeg Blog - What to do about an Uneven Wedding Party for your Wedding Day - Each Person Walks Individually If you don’t like the idea of not having perfect pairs, you can have each wedding party member walk by themselves down the aisle. This is usually more recommended with smaller wedding parties since it takes twice as long, but you can either have all of your side go and then all of your partner’s side, or you can have them alternate between your side and your partner’s side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e247fdf8-f723-4230-ae41-716d72534d19/Illinois+wedding+groom+and+groomsmen+during+ceremony+lined+up+.jpeg Blog -

Eloquent Impressions - Chicago Custom Wedding Stationer - Vendor Spotlight What is the most interesting/unique/cool thing you've seen at a wedding? My husband and I had a caricature artist at our wedding! I don't think I've seen much else to top it, and some of my clients have done it too. It's so fun! This is SUCH a fun idea! When Amanda told me about this, I knew that that would have been a huge hit for guests. Factoring in your guests’ experience is always something I love, because of course the day is about celebrating your love but it’s so nice to ensure the guests have a good time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ef770c88-3085-40b4-8079-a727ffaf1fd6/Ashley+Galminas+Photography_03.jpg Blog - Eloquent Impressions - Chicago Custom Wedding Stationer - Vendor Spotlight - Her Advice to You: What is something that you wish that couples knew when planning their wedding? Stay organized and map out your address list first. It can be easiest to do that before visiting venues, so you will know exactly how many people you're inviting. This is so true. The sooner you can get a general idea of your guest count, the more accurate your pricing will be with venues, catering, and other vendors too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e0ee57ce-edc6-4e42-a988-80d0a7c1f450/Nicole+Babiez+Photography_01.jpg Blog - Eloquent Impressions - Chicago Custom Wedding Stationer - Vendor Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/77cf947f-df75-4255-b1bf-24824d850b96/Autumn+Rust+_+Green+Suite.jpg Blog - Eloquent Impressions - Chicago Custom Wedding Stationer - Vendor Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/top-3-factors-to-consider-with-having-kids-attend-your-wedding monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/042054d1-c6e0-4a0f-b6c1-7cb96dd71921/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+her+children+portraits.jpeg Blog - Top 3 Factors to Consider with Having Kids Attend your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ed964d40-a371-45ef-a750-cbbf95e4f5fd/Illinois+wedding+flower+girl+down+the+aisle+during+the+processional.jpeg Blog - Top 3 Factors to Consider with Having Kids Attend your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/03ef73b2-3aa7-4b25-aaf5-7888f1b995d2/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+daughter+getting+ready+shots+with+flowers+.jpeg Blog - Top 3 Factors to Consider with Having Kids Attend your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/6-ways-to-prepare-yourself-for-wedding-dress-shopping-appointments monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/0ce54d98-a6f0-4843-810e-159e47c2ddf8/Illinois+wedding+punk+bride+getting+ready+with+family.jpeg Blog - 6 Ways to Prepare Yourself for Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/bd31cf1d-a5c1-435a-b6db-755718e543e9/Illinois+wedding+modern+casual+wedding+with+converse+shoes+showing+off.jpeg Blog - 6 Ways to Prepare Yourself for Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c920f4e9-a56f-4f42-9fe8-006297b8b1d6/Illinois+wedding+dresses+lined+up+on+hangers++Large.jpeg Blog - 6 Ways to Prepare Yourself for Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments - 3. Know the Sizing Wedding dress sizing is far different from your street size. You’re likely going to try on samples that are much larger than you are and get “strapped into them”, and they might not be in the colors you may want. It’s definitely important to know this ahead of time so that you aren’t shocked if your street or “regular” clothing size is an 8 but your wedding dress is ordered in a size 14. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/43d40c5a-3ef8-4dc3-aefe-071863c11169/Illinois+wedding+sunset+portraits+with+couple+intimate+foreheads+touching.jpeg Blog - 6 Ways to Prepare Yourself for Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fa15bc03-707b-4d0f-ad01-dcceebd77fc5/Illinois+wedding+getting+ready+shots+with+brides+dress+hanging+from+a+mirror.jpeg Blog - 6 Ways to Prepare Yourself for Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/09fb8fe4-9b95-4c01-8b42-803d12f6f14f/Illinois+wedding+bridal+portraits+outside+botanical+garden+.jpeg Blog - 6 Ways to Prepare Yourself for Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/union-illinois-backyard-fall-wedding-feature-megan-and-kenny monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2c13651f-fb53-4621-8a19-9b2cca0ae4ae/megan-kenny-wedding-finals-75099.jpg Blog - Union, Illinois Backyard Fall Wedding Feature: Megan and Kenny - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d8f79d17-2826-4ce5-9bcc-57a885fdc92c/megan-kenny-wedding-finals-0204.jpg Blog - Union, Illinois Backyard Fall Wedding Feature: Megan and Kenny The details shots were so gorgeous in with the fall background featured.

Making sure to do your research on reputable vendors often means you will have to either adjust or lower your expectations, or pay for the services that meet your expectations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9e9b1860-73db-42b7-a7a3-660d46a5596e/CampBride2020.jpg Blog - CampBride - Chicago Hair and Makeup Wedding Services - Vendor Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/a-quick-guide-to-wearing-your-veil monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b508829a-d9c3-4120-bffa-77b7b4260805/Illinois+wedding+couples+portraits+bride+and+groom+looking+at+each+other+full+length+shot+with+veil+over+both+of+them+outdoors+sunset+photos+Large.jpeg Blog - A Quick Guide to Wearing your Veil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/be438e75-5d4c-4895-9f8b-1c586dd9dfca/Illinois+Catholic+wedding+bride+and+groom+kneeling+at+altar+Catholic+service+ceremony.jpeg Blog - A Quick Guide to Wearing your Veil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9b106f7c-7685-4e8b-9fec-bbb30820ac06/Illinois+wedding+couples+portraits+bride+and+groom+veil+shots.jpeg Blog - A Quick Guide to Wearing your Veil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/the-3-main-ways-to-seat-your-guests-at-your-wedding monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/8bf1bb74-6a11-41be-91d1-4ab056274e7c/Illinois+wedding+intimate+sweetheart+table+with+greenery+and+botanics.jpeg Blog - The 3 Main Ways to Seat your Guests at your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3580a143-d771-4595-a1c0-bdc1e11560aa/illinois+wedding+reception+table+with+tablescape+set+up+for+dinner+.jpeg Blog - The 3 Main Ways to Seat your Guests at your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1dfae9fb-1feb-4555-8192-8de9bd84a0bb/Illinois+wedding+reception+table+with+unique+leaf+place+card+handwritten+name+card+with+menu+for+dinner.jpeg Blog - The 3 Main Ways to Seat your Guests at your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/5c188fa2-425d-4009-8d0c-ceeaf5d82edc/Illinois+wedding+tablescape+outdoors+with+unique+lighting+long+tables+for+reception.jpeg Blog - The 3 Main Ways to Seat your Guests at your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e6ae99c5-6b5b-4bb3-aeb1-5593db4f3c27/Illinois+wedding+reception+details+tablescape+with+long+tables+.jpeg Blog - The 3 Main Ways to Seat your Guests at your Wedding The best way to get this started so it’s not as menial of a task is to start while you’re planning your guest list. Most tables that are 60” will comfortably seat 8 people (at absolute maximum 10), so try chunking your guests together while planning your guest list in groups of 8. You will likely have to do a little bit of moving around when you get closer to the wedding day depending on the RSVPs, but this way you won’t have to start from scratch. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/5-questions-to-ask-when-booking-a-wedding-planner-or-coordinator monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/7c30b603-54b0-4bf5-92a6-6ba68ca8b0c9/Wedding+ceremony+arch+outdoors+with+groom+carrying+and+dipping+bride.jpeg Blog - 5 Questions to Ask When Booking a Wedding Planner or Coordinator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/5c827dec-2536-4922-a0ff-4187ed27c85b/Illinois+wedding+outdoor+couples+portraits+of+bride+and+groom+cute+couple.jpeg Blog - 5 Questions to Ask When Booking a Wedding Planner or Coordinator - How many meetings do we have? During your consultation, this question may get answered for you. Many planners and coordinators make sure to go through their package options and what is all included, so you’ll likely know how many meetings you’ll have with them. However, if they don’t say, it’s definitely important to ask so you know how much they will be involved with your planning process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b2cfb877-7f5a-4075-84e9-0b1d91dc22c5/Illinois+white+wedding+tablescape+centerpiece+ideas+and+inspiration+Large.jpeg Blog - 5 Questions to Ask When Booking a Wedding Planner or Coordinator - Do you set up decorations? Depending on the decorations you need set up, your potential planners and coordinators may have different answers for this. Many planners and coordinators will set up things like a welcome sign or escort cards, but if you have larger items like an arch or many things like centerpieces, this may depend on the planner themselves. Make sure to ask about any specific items that you want set up, and they may suggest recruiting some extra help for those bigger items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3b12317d-446e-459e-b7ba-c47e6bf09c91/Illinois+wedding+tablescape+inspiration+long+table+ideas.jpg Blog - 5 Questions to Ask When Booking a Wedding Planner or Coordinator - Are there travel fees from our venue location? Most planners and coordinators don’t have any problem with traveling outside of their area for your wedding; however, there will likely be travel costs involved. Make sure they know where your venue is and if that will affect the pricing they have provided you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d0d6270a-9e26-4852-8632-4f6b5e0a6029/Illinois+wedding+unique+bridal+portraits+bride+dancing+with+whimsical+dress+and+unique+lighitng.jpeg Blog - 5 Questions to Ask When Booking a Wedding Planner or Coordinator - What is your payment process like? Many planners and coordinators will likely have a similar structure, but it’s important to know when and how much money you are paying for their services. You will likely have to pay a deposit when you sign the contract to fully secure your wedding date so they put it on their calendar, and then the final payment will likely be due about a month before your wedding. If there are any additional payments throughout the wedding planning process, make sure you know exactly when you will need to be making payments and where those payments will go. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/majo-munoz-chicago-fine-art-wedding-photographer-vendor-spotlight monthly 0.5 2023-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c6653ef8-ee12-4153-a0db-20a71e9898bb/IMG_1582.JPG Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1fa9c024-fbaa-4711-b953-b2b2468be412/IMG_8203_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight Maria’s editorial, fine-art, documentary-style of photography really drew me in. When she and I had the opportunity to chat, we literally talked for hours! I enjoyed getting to know Maria so much and I really love her energy and fun, sweet personality. When Maria isn’t working on weddings or editing, she can likely be found doing yoga. She enjoys the intense workout and how it keeps her present and reflective. She also can be found with her family out in Mexico City. Additionally, Maria enjoys going out and trying new foods. She is a vegan, so she really enjoys tasting new vegan creations. Some other things Maria enjoys are watching movies or TV, going to museums expos, and lots of self care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/8d390f72-2727-427b-a93b-c27857919aa4/1L6A6278_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight - How She got Started: Her love for storytelling began from a very young age. She aims to tell those stories from her artistic perspective which is how she developed her style of photography. To tell a couple’s story and document it exactly as it was - the vibe, weather, or even the small details like the drink options, is exactly why Maria’s style sticks out to me. While Maria was in college, she took many cinematography and photography classes to learn, but she really was able to find her start with the inspiration of other photographers she admired. Throughout her time there, she was really able to find her own style and voice through her work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9ad77b6f-5ace-4f41-99c8-846b4119da35/1L6A1114_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/959fec96-111e-4894-9ae2-82478d764fae/1L6A2226_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight Maria began her actual career in Mexico City and moved to Chicago shortly after. She says that moving her business from Mexico City to Chicago was a great way to give her an alternative perspective and help her grow incredibly rapidly. Maria is proudly running her own business on her own currently. She goal is to continue to have personal and intimate relationships with her couples. The relationship she develops with each couple is something to be deeply valued by Maria. She does bring on her husband as her assistant, but typically she is the one that creates those personal connections with her couples. She hopes to soon limit the amount of weddings she takes on so she can really cater to the couples and spend more time to really get to know each couple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/49d056f0-c36e-42fc-807c-642435aa265b/1L6A0050_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight Maria made sure to express her gratitude to her couples for showing vulnerability throughout their day so she can be able to capture their magic.

There is so much to learn about, so many vendors, and so many styles. All of these options are quick to overwhelm you. She says she will always suggest to hire a wedding planner. Maria says this takes a huge weight off of each couples’ shoulders. Of course I agree with this - the goal for me as a planner and coordinator is to relieve your stress and manage your details so you can enjoy your wedding day and your wedding planning process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/6aacdab4-f394-47da-be09-08e8b256a481/1L6A5605_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight For photos: Maria says you should really consider the time you want your ceremony if you’re planning on having an outdoor ceremony. She says she’s seen many couples that have sunlight directly in their eyes the entire ceremony. This is definitely a helpful tip! To add to it, if you’re planning on having your ceremony outdoors, you should see about which way the sun will be facing at the location. Make sure to talk to your photographer about this and they can give really good recommendations on when would be a good time for the ceremony based on this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fb9d7fee-317f-4240-8c2f-4990d3d3f520/1L6A3353+copy_websize.jpg Blog - Majo Muñoz Photography - Fine Art Wedding Photographer in Chicago - Vendor Spotlight - Where to Reach Her: You can find her Instagram easiest at @majomunozph and shoot her a message, or you can find her on Facebook at Majo Muñoz Photography.

If they don’t mention this to you, be sure to ask them what they alternative plan is if it looks like it’s going to rain. Your vendors likely don’t want to be outside if there is a large possibility for their equipment to get wet and ruined, so it’s definitely ideal to move your ceremony or other events indoors or at least to a covered area if there seems to be a large chance of rain. If you’re really wanting to have the outdoors incorporated into your day, try and find a venue that has a covered patio or tent to have your ceremony at so you can still be “outside”. Having backup plans is key to making sure your day can continue to run smoothly for you, your vendors, and your guests. No one really wants to be wet all day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fb4ca67e-6455-4072-8c20-f8de991d3201/Illinois+wedding+gloomy+and+rainy+wedding+day+with+clear+umbrellas+couples+portraits.jpeg Blog - Planning for Rain on your Wedding Day - Bring Umbrellas This will be helpful for you and your guests alike if you let them know to bring some ahead of time. The best way to preserve your hair, makeup, dress, and the likeness is to be able to cover yourself a little bit. If you’re having your wedding during a rainy season, maybe mention to your guests that an umbrella would be handy. You can also provide a few large umbrellas for your guests if you’re feeling extra nice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9dd37621-644f-4923-aa77-827ecc6e8779/Illinois+wedding+rainy+city+with+couple+holding+umbrella+in+the+street.jpeg Blog - Planning for Rain on your Wedding Day - Go with the Flow While no one really wants to spend the day being wet, make sure to not let the bad weather get to you. They always say that rain is good luck on your wedding day, but really your attitude toward the rain can really influence how you feel about your wedding day. If you’re feeling good about it, make sure to grab an umbrella and take some photos outside - they really make for a cute scene for your portraits! If you’re worried about your dress, just remember you'll probably only wear it once, get it cleaned, and then store it. It’s okay if the ends get a bit wet and discolored - as long as you’re having fun on the wedding day then it will be worth it! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/the-battle-of-priorities-for-your-wedding-day-time-vs-money monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3dcf3fdd-7f33-49bc-a4d6-b727ab064a9a/Illinois+fall+bridal+bouquet+inspiration+couples+portraits+with+focus+on+bouquet.jpeg Blog - The Battle of Priorities for your Wedding Day: Time vs. Money - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/30a040c0-db34-4687-97f2-1fce042f37c6/Illinois+wedding+beautiful+centerpiece+florasl+with+greenery+and+peonies.jpeg Blog - The Battle of Priorities for your Wedding Day: Time vs. Money - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c6c6072d-ca82-4251-8df0-098d6dc8d0bd/Illinois+wedding+botanical+landscape+on+bridge+bride+and+groom+couples+portraits+walking+together+.jpeg Blog - The Battle of Priorities for your Wedding Day: Time vs. Money - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/bolingbrook-golf-club-wedding-feature-allyson-and-matt monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/109f0293-862b-41c0-aaaa-345ab5e76a50/103.jpg Blog - New Year’s Eve Wedding Feature at Bolingbrook Golf Club: Allyson and Matthew - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4b2ccabc-1dae-41c7-8860-b5a49bfa7c94/99.jpg Blog - New Year’s Eve Wedding Feature at Bolingbrook Golf Club: Allyson and Matthew The details of their day were so classic and modern.

Sometimes it’s nice to have a nod to your theme like this. I thought the sign itself was really cute! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/26070b2f-d705-4e50-8fb2-2b3299329471/213.jpg Blog - New Year’s Eve Wedding Feature at Bolingbrook Golf Club: Allyson and Matthew Their first dance was incredibly sweet to watch - I couldn’t help but cry because I was so wrapped up in how happy Allyson and Matt were throughout the entire day!

If you’re worried about them potentially messing things up, make sure to give jobs that are smaller or that you think if you explain enough that they will get it figured out for you. I always suggest giving some planned deadline just so you have enough time to check in with them and see if they did what you needed. I’m sure your family and friends are just happy to help sometimes, so even if it’s really simple tasks like stuffing invites or putting together your wedding favors, they will be happy to have a hand in helping! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/48758546-e697-442e-a634-27af81812fe0/Illinois+wedding+fall+centerpiece+inspiration+Large.jpeg Blog - How to Plan your Wedding without the Stress - Guest List, Seating Chart, and RSVPs One of the most stressful parts of planning your wedding is figuring out the logistics with your guests.

Signature Cocktail and/or Nonalcoholic Mocktail Options If you’re having a signature cocktails or mocktails for your guests, you definitely want to let them know what they are! Some signs also include photos/drawings of the drink, or the thing they are named after (like your furry friends!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/62681f58-bab9-4014-ae20-59ec667d7cc8/Illinois+wedding+reception+tablescape+with+white+light+and+airy+floral+centerpiece+and+table+number.jpeg Blog - 15 Signs you May Need to Buy for your Wedding Day - 7. Table Numbers One of the most commonly used signages is your table numbers. I highly recommend pairing this with either escort cards and/or a seating chart to ensure that your guests all have a place to sit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/adf4de79-dd1d-4f98-9f8b-80c537308b10/Illinois+wedding+polaroid+guest+book+polaroid+film+family+portrait+artistic+architectural+wedding.jpeg Blog - 15 Signs you May Need to Buy for your Wedding Day - 9. Guest Book Sign You may have a guest book out somewhere, but your guests may not know what it is if it’s a non-traditional guest book! Sometimes, it’s nice to have some kind of sign that says, “please sign our guestbook” so they know they are supposed to do something for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/21ca4b01-e2bc-4d14-bbee-484ab36847a8/Illinois+wedding+dessert+station+table+for+wedding+reception.jpeg Blog - 15 Signs you May Need to Buy for your Wedding Day - 12. Dessert and/or Late Night Snacks Menu Often times, desserts and late night snacks will be placed on a table near or at the end of dinner. Usually, it’s pretty obvious what these things are, but if you have unique desserts or late night snacks you may want to have a “menu” for guests to know what they are eating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2a550e0a-64ad-4ef4-8fb9-0d8b51d7af42/Illinois+wedding+ceremony+with+favors+on+each+chair+for+guests+to+take+home.jpeg Blog - 15 Signs you May Need to Buy for your Wedding Day - 15. “Please Take” Sign for Favors Favors are definitely one of the items that are most often left behind. I recommend having some fun sign that says what the item is, a pun about it, or something that simply says “please take one”. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/love-and-light-florist-chicagoland-and-southern-wisconsin-wedding-florist-vendor-spotlight monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/dd830b73-6c03-4f8a-9c88-5c874b58a6bd/IMG_2859.jpg Blog -

Why you Should do a First Look on your Wedding Day - Gets rid of the nerves Many couples feel nerves leading up to the ceremony as it is the first “real, orchestrated” part of your wedding day. But having a first look, you both can relieve some of that pressure by having that moment separate from the ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/dfef7fd6-5d44-436b-b45f-9a39e73d3c7f/Illinois+wedding+couples+portraits+during+sunset.jpeg Blog - Why you Should do a First Look on your Wedding Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e3ce337b-57ae-4433-9ab0-020fa2a79cbf/Illinois+wedding+outdoor+field+sunset+photos+bride+and+groom+portraits+barn+rustic+couples+portraits.jpeg Blog - Why you Should do a First Look on your Wedding Day https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-figuring-out-your-wedding-guest-list monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b7a9afd0-2e8a-40f8-a4a0-9d12ba2e046c/Illinois+wedding+reception+shots+with+family+and+bride+.jpeg Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Figuring out your Wedding Guest List - First: Write the List Add every person you can think of that you would want at your wedding when you’re first making the list. You’ll likely end up cutting from this list, but you’ll want to see the maximum involved on your wedding day. This also includes children and plus ones for any of the people that this would apply for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cf234492-5308-4ff9-8467-264556c54833/Illinois+wedding+ceremony+praising+and+signing+hymns+together+Large.jpeg Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Figuring out your Wedding Guest List - Then: Know the Cost It can cost about $130+ per person for your wedding day - between the space, food, drinks, chairs, tables, centerpieces, and other rentals that are involved with inviting them. There are many factors that go into trying to break down the cost of each individual person at your wedding and it may vary quite a bit, but it’s important to know that every aspect of your wedding will cost more when you have more guests attending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1939b76f-c9d4-4a8e-ac46-061a40089ef6/gift-habeshaw-O_x99zNKJFQ-unsplash+Large.jpeg Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Figuring out your Wedding Guest List - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/24efc76a-4e1d-4dc3-8548-52a04412438a/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+sendoff+grand+exit+with+bubbles+night.jpeg Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Figuring out your Wedding Guest List - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cf59d6a1-fc1c-4356-85aa-bb07317f8906/Illinois+wedding+outdoor+destination+wedding+under+tree+in+the+fall.jpeg Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Figuring out your Wedding Guest List - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/chicago-wedding-saddle-and-cycle-club-wedding-feature monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d19fcc5c-cda3-41f7-89e7-44205d1829f7/emma-freddy-wedding-112.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b20cd8bc-70dd-4218-9dee-8cd2a5f22970/emma-freddy-wedding-63.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - The day started off getting ready in their separate spaces onsite.

We loved how excited Emma seemed and watching their family and friends get excited from a distance too. We always encourage couples to do a first look because it’s really one of the main times of the day that you will get to be with your soon-to-be spouse throughout the whole day. It’s such an intimate, sweet moment and the photos are always great too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f13a5090-7851-428d-a88c-bd454580cd2a/emma-freddy-wedding-228.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/72ba7457-c3a4-47d1-be66-278f0e49d0fd/emma-freddy-wedding-365.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - Emma and Freddy’s dog, Beans, made an appearance as their ring bearer and did an amazing job! I think Beans is one of the cutest ring bearers we’ve ever seen, and he was such a good boy throughout the time he was there! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b0db2914-bc01-4c09-bc03-9350fc38bf35/emma-freddy-wedding-618.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - The white florals with the greenery is popular, but we think that Catherine’s Gardens did an amazing job to add value to the space and really make it amazing. We definitely love ceremonies that have the two-piece arch - it is so lovely adds a beautiful variety to the lush, green ceremony space. Emma and Freddy also did personalized vows which really made everyone laugh and cry during a lovely ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4f41c62e-27ff-4cc1-af3d-bc07763a2fd2/emma-freddy-wedding-715.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c31a44ad-19ec-4d8f-96e0-a440d53a7cce/emma-freddy-wedding-736.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - There also had a Polaroid guest book which is one of my favorites!

They had completely choreographed it which was a total surprise to me until about 10 minutes before the dance. We recorded the whole thing for them since they didn’t have a videographer and the wedding party was supposed to join them at the end - we almost screamed out loud when Freddy got down on his hands and knees and Emma walked him like their dog! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/61c488f9-4545-4a1d-b6b2-6720a1d09903/emma-freddy-wedding-891.jpg Blog - Saddle and Cycle Club in Chicago Wedding Feature: Emma and Freddy - Overall, this wedding was amazing! From start to finish, you can feel and see the love that they have for one another. This wedding was such a fun, party-filled energy while still being intimate and sweet.

For guests that are traveling or have work that day, you’ll likely get more people to attend your wedding and be on time if you have the ceremony later in the day. During the weekend, there isn’t as much of a specific pull for this but it definitely helps to have your ceremony a little earlier in the day for Sunday weddings so that guests that can’t take off of work can still easily attend your wedding day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fb575f08-b21b-486f-bcde-528b181910c0/Illinois+wedding+sunset+photos+bride+and+groom+portraits+in+grass+field+outdoor.jpg Blog - A Quick Guide on How to Choose the Time of your Wedding Ceremony - If you’re Doing a First Look If you’re doing a first look, you’ll likely want to be doing your ceremony later in the day. The main downside of doing a first look means that you have to get ready and take all of your photos before your ceremony, which usually means you will be better off having your ceremony later in the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3f40713d-a222-4697-8ee0-0589fdd98e7c/Illinois+wedding+getting+ready+girls+bride+and+bridesmaids+in+robes.jpeg Blog - A Quick Guide on How to Choose the Time of your Wedding Ceremony - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3fc03258-59a4-4dee-8717-bf61c19ac458/Illinois+wedding+outdoors+with+bride+and+groom+meeting+and+standing+together+at+the+altar.jpeg Blog - A Quick Guide on How to Choose the Time of your Wedding Ceremony - The Traffic If you’re planning on having your ceremony right at rush hour, you likely will have to get started late because of the traffic and your guests arriving late from that. If possible, I would check what the traffic looks like around that time of day on the day of the week that you’re planning on getting married so you can warn your guests ahead of time how much traffic they may be encountering. This is especially important if your guests are coming in from out of town, because they likely will be stuck taking Ubers and can’t control that as much as guests that can drive themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a3160006-a8a0-4725-b91e-52a824caad63/Illinois+wedding+sunset+couples+portraits+with+veil.jpg Blog - A Quick Guide on How to Choose the Time of your Wedding Ceremony - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/5-steps-you-should-take-before-booking-your-wedding-venue monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/515f1104-adfc-4af3-b0f9-b3c0ec1ace71/Illinois+wedding+botanical+cultural+diverse+wedding+bride+and+groom+unique+clothing.jpeg Blog - 5 Steps You Should Take before Booking Your Wedding Venue - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/aadc21cd-bacc-4344-a1c5-64279442709f/Illinois+wedding+intimate+tablescape+for+reception+sweetheart+table+with+greenery+inside+a+home.jpeg Blog - 5 Steps You Should Take before Booking Your Wedding Venue - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f852f16d-bebc-42fd-a7c3-f0c20631971d/Illinois+wedding+fall+outdoor+ceremony+bride+and+groom.jpeg Blog - 5 Steps You Should Take before Booking Your Wedding Venue - 2. Figure Out your Budget After figuring out what is most important to both of you, you should start to come up with an ideal budget that you will be spending on the whole day. You definitely get what you pay for, so if you have a lot of priorities that include the vendors you’ll likely need to spend more to get amazing, experienced vendors. I recommend coming up with an ideal number and then after doing some research on the average cost of weddings in your area for the time of season you will have your wedding, you can adjust that number to make sure you get everything you want with a maximum budget. Once you have this number, you can find out about how much people generally spend on each vendor with your budget to see approximately how much you’ll be spending on your wedding day categories - which includes your venue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/55376f65-8eb2-4fcf-b85a-ea2119f7ab5d/Illinois+wedding+editorial+cool+pose+with+bride+and+bridesmaids+and+wedding+party.jpeg Blog - 5 Steps You Should Take before Booking Your Wedding Venue - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/35278bfa-381f-4744-8b46-77ce985ce2e7/Illinois+wedding+happy+couple+at+the+end+of+the+aisle+smiling+together+during+the+ceremony+recessional.jpeg Blog - 5 Steps You Should Take before Booking Your Wedding Venue - 4. Figure Out Wedding Dates that You Would Like When looking for vendors, there likely will be many that tell you that they are booked through most of the year. It’s important to know ahead of time the ideal season you’d like to get married in. You may need to have some flexibility for booking the venue of your dreams, so it’s always a good idea to have 3-5 wedding dates that you would be happy to get married on. If you want to have more date options available, consider looking at having a Friday or Saturday wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e4a65229-d959-48bd-b75d-92651d4e579a/Illinois+wedding+grand+exit+beautiful+sparklers+and+fireworks+sendoff.jpg Blog - 5 Steps You Should Take before Booking Your Wedding Venue - 5. List Out Pros and Cons After you have tours with your venues and see the spaces, make sure to write out a pros and cons list to each of them. Make sure that the venues you are interested in have the things that you are looking for or hoping for by asking questions on the tours. If you’re torn between multiple spaces, you can use these pros and cons lists to help you see which would actually be a better fit for you. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/what-to-expect-on-consultation-calls-with-your-wedding-vendors monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/074901b3-727b-4854-9e90-46579fd0912d/Illinois+wedding+blush+pink+bridesmaids+dresses+dress+highlight+lineup+portraits.jpeg Blog - What to Expect on Consultation Calls with Potential Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/6b2b8090-2222-4e7d-9cc4-dd7b544fdc38/Illinois+wedding+botanical+bohemian+cake+cutting+photo+boho+bride+and+groom.jpeg Blog - What to Expect on Consultation Calls with Potential Wedding Vendors - Lots of Questions The point of this is to get to know you, but also to get to know your wedding. The questions are usually to determine the complexity of your wedding and to know what the final cost will end of being. If you’re looking for a florist and they ask about all of the things that you want as far as your florals, this is so they can give you an accurate proposal at the end of the call with the most accurate pricing possible. Vendors also want to get to know you as people and see if you will mesh well together throughout the wedding planning process! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/6a8e8db6-59b0-4523-86ed-886ef19b99e8/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+walking+for+couples+portraits+in+an+outdoor+field.jpeg Blog - What to Expect on Consultation Calls with Potential Wedding Vendors - A Breakdown of their Packages Often there will be some discussion of what services you will be provided within their package. This is the time to make sure you are getting what you want out of your vendors, so make sure they hit all of the nails that you’re hoping for your wedding! The vendors will likely run through what is all included in their packages and why it will benefit you for your wedding day. Make sure to ask any questions you have on their packages so that you know exactly what you can expect from your vendors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/00a0b78e-ce90-4e50-a630-0559c994e1d8/Illinois+LGBT+wedding+with+happy+couple+smiling+together+with+one+in+dress+and+the+other+in+a+suit+with+suspenders.jpeg Blog - What to Expect on Consultation Calls with Potential Wedding Vendors - Answers to Your Questions This is the opportunity to ask them about themselves and their business. You want to make sure you actually like who you are working with and feel confident in your choice of vendors! One of the planning sheets I provide my couples is “Questions to Ask your Vendors”, which helps you to know what questions you should ask each individual vendor to know exactly what services you will be getting. You want to make sure that everything you need is covered so there are no surprises on your wedding day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/abcf8664-dfbe-4add-8cf1-4ce17e48a049/Illinois+wedding+bride+with+bridesmaids+toasting+champagne+at+the+getting+ready+shots.jpeg Blog - What to Expect on Consultation Calls with Potential Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/how-i-prepare-for-your-wedding-as-a-wedding-planner monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/64ad2ff6-5974-4ef9-aae1-524b815dfbe9/Illinois+tent+wedding+outside+with+lush+greenery+and+simple+and+elegant+tablescape+for+reception.jpeg Blog - How I Prepare for your Wedding as a Wedding Planner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/536788c0-09bc-4c6d-b4ce-de0e4b04c3d2/Illinois+LGBT+wedding+two+brides+happy+couple+with+pride+flag.jpeg Blog - How I Prepare for your Wedding as a Wedding Planner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/418bb85b-94fd-4721-8715-f1a0f1fca08f/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+kissing+from+clinking+glasses+at+the+sweetheart+table.jpeg Blog - How I Prepare for your Wedding as a Wedding Planner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/75ff3fcd-10ae-43e7-a205-a52d38e82f54/Illinois+wedding+bride+looking+out+the+window+for+groom+getting+ready+modern+and+sleek.jpeg Blog - How I Prepare for your Wedding as a Wedding Planner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/gemini-media-management-midwest-content-planner-vendor-spotlight monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c7c945f9-240f-48dd-aa3d-46298193913f/MackenziWedding.jpeg Blog - Gemini Media Management - Midwest Content Planner - Vendor Spotlight - Gemini Media Management is a content creation company that helps you utilize social media to keep your loved ones involved in every aspect of your wedding day.

Ask them Questions As you may already know, nearly everyone loves talking about themselves to some extent. You don’t necessarily need to talk about their wedding, but if you ask them some questions about their lives, they will likely stop probing you about your wedding. Try asking questions about how they are doing, work that they are up to, and maybe their kids or pets if they have them. This is a simple way to get the attention off of you and your wedding if you really don’t want to hear their opinions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1dc046a2-945b-4c7f-bdb8-45549f1cf990/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+couples+shoes+shots+with+unique+socks.jpeg Blog - 4 Ways to Deal with Pushy Family Members while you’re Planning your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b078169c-fefe-40f1-a82b-f68bf09c7684/Illinois+wedding+cool+bride+and+groom+punk+couple+with+tattoos+portraits.jpeg Blog - 4 Ways to Deal with Pushy Family Members while you’re Planning your Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/independence-grove-in-libertyville-wedding-feature-jess-and-zach monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/6693c100-ae2d-4b9a-af88-641a78125ff1/J%26Z_0421_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/0a602714-8b9c-4d83-96c9-b4cd58ca8db2/J%26Z_0040_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - From the start of the morning, Jess was in such amazing spirits. She was gushing to us about her dress and how excited she was to put it on. Her dress was tight-fitted but it looked like it was made for her. I really loved the long sleeves - as it gave it such a sweet, modest feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4b911752-fd3e-4ea2-b3b6-ea39a3e21581/J%26Z_0233_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - The couple opted to stick to a traditional route and didn’t want to do a first look. As you can see, it was a such a sweet reaction from the groom to see his bride for the first time down the aisle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f7ffcfa7-f712-4a65-834d-be862e3a50f4/J%26Z_0289_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - Before we knew it, we were already at the ceremony! Jess and Zach got married in a Greek Orthodox church that followed a very traditional outline - there were candles, veils, and a “first dance” where they walked around the altar. Also, Jess had this incredible pearl veil that I just adored. I really have a soft spot for unique veils - any pearls, embroidery, or color makes me smile just a little bigger because they are so cool! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3c0ccc6f-303c-44f8-967d-c9d4d056fcd7/J%26Z_0349_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - While they walked around the altar for their first dance, the mothers threw some petals at them to follow tradition.

There is a lake or pond right next to the venue along with many trails near it. There are also a few gazebos and long bricked patios that would be great to get your portraits done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b184f151-fcd7-4892-b57b-52ce86982164/J%26Z_0804_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/741d49f2-fe8d-416c-b533-ee90f6e879f0/J%26Z_0928_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/41e04d9a-4ff0-4225-baf4-a58569eff18f/J%26Z_0865_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - The first dance is always so sweet, and they even had a little bit of fun with their spins and dips while keeping good time! One of the most memorable parts of the night was actually the mother-daughter dance that Jess had with her mom. Her mom came up to the DJ and I before the reception and told us this incredibly sweet story of how they sang and danced to Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be” when she was growing up. Jess’ mom actually got a Cameo of Edwin saying a “congratulations” to Jess and Zach on their wedding and then sang to them that song for the mother-daughter dance. We were able to arrange this to be a surprise for Jess and had it going for the whole room to hear - and it made everyone cry (including me!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f125853d-b45c-496a-98ad-ec377dd6ffc1/J%26Z_1402_r.jpg Blog - Independence Grove in Libertyville Wedding Feature: Jess and Zach - The night got started and the people were crazy on the dance floor! They had nearly all of their 200 guests on the dance floor for nearly the whole night - it was amazing! The wedding as a whole was such a fun one to be a part of. The blues and purples were all over with the lights, the linens, and the centerpieces that really gave it such a cool vibe!

A wedding coordinator can be hired when you’ve found your vendors closer to the end and focuses mostly on the day running smoothly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/94111e3d-2658-4448-b353-648c2b4864ff/Illinois+wedding+planner+talking+with+guests.jpeg Blog - The Differences Between a Wedding Planner vs. a Wedding Coordinator - The Time The hours spent talking to, meeting with, or having on your planner is significantly more than you would work with your wedding coordinator. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/how-to-utilize-and-depend-on-your-wedding-vendors monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c384731f-c51b-4545-aed5-ff1c6f2553fb/Illinois+wedding+black+and+white+cermeony+shot+of+the+first+kiss+with+people+throwing+flower+petals+at+them+.jpeg Blog - How to Utilize and Depend on your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c590e72d-7c34-4cf1-87c1-1c6195f22426/Illinois+wedding+background+behind+the+scenes+shot+of+the+photographer+posing+and+shooting+the+wedding+with+the+couple+bride+and+groom+standing+together+with+her+head+on+his+shoulder.jpeg Blog - How to Utilize and Depend on your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/0921830d-f422-426a-b56f-58b2a9e5f2d7/Illinois+wedding+bridal+bouquet+with+pinks+and+burgundy+flowers+and+eucalyptus.jpeg Blog - How to Utilize and Depend on your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/67187f7e-bc72-42c6-8a6d-1c36f9d49459/Illinois+wedding+desserts+sweets+table+with+colorful+macaroons.jpeg Blog - How to Utilize and Depend on your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c9a21f3a-ee71-40d0-a30c-8149ba160fb6/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+leaving+ceremony+together+black+and+white+editorial+wedding+photos.jpeg Blog - How to Utilize and Depend on your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/how-to-beat-the-cold-for-your-winter-wedding monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/4153ab0c-7c62-42eb-a801-760a6bd4603c/Illinois+winter+wedding+outdoors+with+scenic+mountain+background+couples+portraits.jpeg Blog - How to Beat the Cold for your Winter Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/460ac484-a881-4c44-b013-a9b518741a2d/Illinois+wedding+snowy+mug.jpeg Blog - How to Beat the Cold for your Winter Wedding - Provide Warm Drinks and Food It may seem obvious, but this is a perfect time to provide some wintery drinks!

This also could be the same idea as food trucks or charcuterie boards being stationed in multiple places for guests to go to as they please. It’s definitely a good idea to have multiple options for the stations because otherwise the lines can get really long, and it also requires some extra organization of where the lines will form or else you may end up with a lot of foot traffic and long lines. This one is the same as the buffet where it is seen as less formal and accessible, but it’s probably still less expensive than the other two below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ac71651d-38de-4013-8b82-b796c331517b/outdoor+wedding+dinner+eating+together+under+the+lights+and+tree.jpeg Blog - Your Guide to Wedding Dinner Service Styles - Family Style This one is when the guests are given a large plate of multiple servings so they can pass the it around to the people they are sitting near. Guests can remain seated and it’s more formal than the two options above, but it’s also more expensive than those two above as well. You also still have to be a bit careful with the portions, since guests can still be heavy-handed here as well. This really just means your bill may be higher so they can account for the potential extra food needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/160ad924-f3aa-4d68-82d2-8f89133bb8fc/Illinois+wedding+butler+passing+food+at+the+wedding+reception+for+dinner.jpeg Blog - Your Guide to Wedding Dinner Service Styles https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/your-step-by-step-guide-to-rocking-a-wedding-expo monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/7f92796f-2a6c-4bdb-9a8b-aa053a40cd3b/Illinois+ceremony+wedding+aisle+decoration+ideas++Large.jpeg Blog - Your Step-by-Step Guide to Rocking a Wedding Expo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e24c95bf-946e-4786-a002-2896ed744cc3/Illinois+LGBT+couple+lesbian+wedding+bridal+protraits+bohemian+boho+classic+wedding.jpeg Blog - Your Step-by-Step Guide to Rocking a Wedding Expo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/85582b20-d0d8-4af0-b6b5-d6388277aad2/Illinois+maroon+bridesmaids+winter+wedding+ceremony.jpeg Blog - Your Step-by-Step Guide to Rocking a Wedding Expo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/51d42ccb-d96c-45b0-b988-97b4bf590fd9/Illinois+wedding+expo+with+people+walking+around.jpeg Blog - Your Step-by-Step Guide to Rocking a Wedding Expo - Arrive at a Good Time If you’re an anxious couple, I would recommend waiting until about 1 and a half hours after the expo start time so the crowd dies down a little. This will also give you the opportunity to actually talk with the vendors a little more too! I wouldn’t wait too long after that though, because you don’t want to miss out chatting with people by arriving too late. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cd1d6662-49a0-4a2b-90aa-e524f66bbe47/Illinois+wedding+boho+centerpiece+terracota+flowers+and+tablescape+with+oranges+and+white+and+pampas+grass.jpeg Blog - Your Step-by-Step Guide to Rocking a Wedding Expo - Ask for Expo Perks Many vendors will have some advantages for you for attending the expo. Make sure to ask them about this before you leave their booths! It could be a raffle for a discount, freebies items, or additions to their packages. I would recommend only asking for the vendors you’re actually interested in - typically you’ll get added to email lists and that may be a lot of extra emails you’re not looking to get! https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/why-there-is-a-wedding-tax-and-why-you-shouldnt-lie-to-your-vendors monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/278083be-d1fb-4218-a27d-c9afef6458de/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+smiling+arm+in+arm+together+at+ceremony.jpeg Blog - Why There is a “Wedding Tax” and Why you Shouldn’t Lie to your Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c3761fa7-71ce-4a43-957d-0a3b268ec973/Illinois+wedding+ceremony+bride+processional+walking+down+the+aisle+in+a+classic+traditional+church+ceremony.jpeg Blog - Why There is a “Wedding Tax” and Why you Shouldn’t Lie to your Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/da82ea85-4af0-4582-a89a-080ece267cfe/Illinois+wedding+long+reception+tables+with+garland+modern+botanical+decorations.jpeg Blog - Why There is a “Wedding Tax” and Why you Shouldn’t Lie to your Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/8a0cc954-e46a-4219-95e5-9f1990eb870b/Illinois+wedding+sunset+photos+woodsy+trees.jpeg Blog - Why There is a “Wedding Tax” and Why you Shouldn’t Lie to your Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/kristina-brewer-chicago-live-wedding-painter-vendor-spotlight monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/8047da60-303d-4570-8bdd-18fe8216faf4/Josh+Ducommun+Photography.jpeg Blog - Kristina Brewer - Chicago Live Wedding Painter - Vendor Spotlight - Make it stand out Photographer: Josh Ducommun Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/8838b725-6a3b-4141-8117-95425bbe1217/live+wedding+painting+8-28-21.jpg Blog - Kristina Brewer - Chicago Live Wedding Painter - Vendor Spotlight When she’s not working weddings, she’s working on her skills by watching painting tutorials or painting portraits and landscapes from photos. Outside of painting, she tends to her flower and vegetable garden, reads art books, or wake surfs on her boat. I have to say, wake surfing sounds like loads of fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/972c0fbf-2cd3-45d6-b577-8c3632677ac4/bonphotage-318.jpg Blog - Kristina Brewer - Chicago Live Wedding Painter - Vendor Spotlight Kristina runs her business by herself. She recently made the jump to painting full time. She jumps between live wedding painting, being commissioned to paint from photos, and selling her landscapes and portraits.

DIY Florals and Decor I really wanted to have flowers that lasted a long time and matched my vision. I got Sola Wood flowers and preserved greenery from Verdissimo and recruited my mom and my aunt to help me with ALL of the floral decorations. My uncle also was a well-renowned stain glass man and he put together all of my table numbers which was extra special because he just passed away a little over a month ago. I still have a centerpiece and my bouquet which is really special to me that we all got to do that together and I still have a piece of it today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/bd2d8676-f32d-4d9e-8650-8f5ee1e3bd9f/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-110+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/a8efae03-5d78-466c-a6b5-dd4adda0bef6/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-23+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 4. Perfume I don’t typically wear perfume, but I used to wear “Vera Wang Princess” throughout high school when I met Jordan. I decided it would be fun to buy a new one to wear for the day we got married and now I can also wear it when we go out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/91503a1d-bbb7-431b-8c6a-8ae0a0e16601/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-34+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 5. Garter I was 100% against a garter toss, but I happened to be looking through Scotland Shop for something and found a “MacQueen tartan” garter. I still didn’t do a garter toss, but when I showed it to Jordan he was so shocked and I am so glad I got it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/cdde78cd-284c-42e0-a7e2-ba0abf5c280d/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-186+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 6. Jewelry I had planned for years to ask Jordan’s mom to wear one of her pearl necklaces for my wedding and she was so sweet and happy about it! I also borrowed pearl studs that matched from my mom so I got to wear both of their jewelry for the wedding day. I also was extra excited because my wedding dress had these little white beads that really complimented the pearls! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/d7893ae9-7e7a-409b-8768-6f57372afcb2/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-101+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/62752806-80cf-4060-a1b8-999e05e4cc89/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-544+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 8. Ceremony Music I had Jordan choose the prelude music that was special to him and his parents, and I had the wedding party walk down the aisle to “Moon River” in honor of my late grandparents. Then I had surprised Jordan by walking down the aisle to “You’ll Never Walk Alone” since he loves that song. It’s a song they play when Liverpool, his favorite soccer team, wins and he and I have sung it plenty of times together so I thought it would be fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/86f74259-7a8b-4569-9f28-10b59eacf89d/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-673+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 9. Cocktail Hour For our cocktail hour, Jordan and I made a playlist of 1950s music that he and his parents really love. I think it was cool to have something more tailored to us instead of the classic “Michael Bublé” playlists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/5865f90f-6057-4267-80ad-3abe0c469f26/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-660+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 10. Card Box Terrarium Jordan and I really love houseplants, so we used a terrarium as our card box. I thought it was so cute and matched pretty well with everything! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ac81d9ce-3340-440e-910c-83e6ab4bc936/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-698+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 11. Chocolate Cake from Jewel with our Pup We decided years ago that we wanted our wedding cake to be this chocolate whipped cream cake from Jewel Osco many years ago. We added a little extra personality by having those little chairs and the little corgi in honor of our dog, Pierogi. We also used my late grandparents’ cake knife to cut it as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/520e2f3f-343e-4105-8f45-6a440a1c5632/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-839+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/c1a093eb-4f9e-401a-ba1b-07e85f3aa313/EmilyKeeney-Rachel%2BJordan-881+Large.jpeg Blog - 13 Ways I Personalized at my Wedding to Make it Extra Special and Unique to Us - 13. Last Dance The last thing we had done was have a last dance together to the same song that I walked down the aisle to. Jordan told me for years that he wanted it to be our first dance song, but I thought it would be more special if it was just for the two of us. I really loved how it wrapped together the whole day. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/why-you-need-to-feed-your-wedding-vendors monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/330f5060-ae0e-420b-ad3a-44b825326286/Illinois+wedding+soft+decorations+for+the+reception+with+a+plated+salad+for+dinner.jpeg Blog - Why you Need to Feed your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/56441ef2-010a-40fb-b3fb-ae569d709256/Illinois+wedding+unique+tablescape+unique+plates+with+personalization+and+jeweled+drink+glasses+and+eucalyptus+garland.jpeg Blog - Why you Need to Feed your Wedding Vendors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/elgin-wedding-photographers-and-videographers-dimaggio-productions monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/00128172-ec2a-40bd-9e28-9faf505da061/IMG_8553_wum0ok+Large.jpeg Blog - DiMaggio Productions - Elgin Photography and Videography - Vendor Spotlight - Meet the DiMaggios: Elijah and Veronica are a husband and wife, dynamic photography/videography duo that have a passion for people and telling their stories.

Steam your “getting ready” outfits The best thing you can do is to steam all of the getting ready outfits (robes, PJs, or other items that don’t have to go over your head to mess up hair/makeup) the night before the wedding. This task takes a lot of time and you also don’t want steam near your hair and makeup. If possible, also set aside a place/time to steam the bridesmaid dresses and the wedding dress if this wasn’t done already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/86683271-7922-4e4a-af5e-921be3d2bc2f/Illinois+wedding+bridesmaids+dresses+hanging+up+while+everyone+is+getting+ready.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare Your “Getting Ready Room” for Your Wedding Day - 4. Find a place to hang your outfits This usually makes for a nice photo, and this also helps keep them from getting wrinkled after steaming them. You can provide hangers for both the getting ready outfits and the wedding party attire, or just use the getting ready outfit hangers once they arrive and put your attire out all together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/78dc611e-f6c7-4c91-b689-f8a6ef95bd46/Illinois+wedding+bride+getting+ready+with+hair+and+makeup+and+bridesmaids+wedding+party+ready+in+their+dresses+waiting+for+bride+and+taking+pictures+together.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare Your “Getting Ready Room” for Your Wedding Day - 6. Remove clutter from places you will be taking your photos There probably won’t be too many places left that are clear, but try and designate 1 or 2 locations in the space that will be cleared of phones, trash, bags, and other items for when you are taking photos. Many people will have a space where the bride is getting ready and a space on a bed for all of the wedding party to sit in the getting ready outfits. This will make for the best photos! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/162d1da7-9aa1-49a3-88ec-a9f7b3731f23/Illinois+wedding+family+heirlooms+wedding+shoes+and+veil+with+tiara+details+shots+getting+ready+photo+with+rings.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare Your “Getting Ready Room” for Your Wedding Day - 8. Set aside one box of details Make sure to have all of your detail items in one place to make these photos as easy as possible for the morning. Let your photographer/videographer know where this box is when they arrive to ensure you don’t have to locate each item for them! You can look at this blog post for some of the items that you should include for this. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/beating-the-heat-for-your-summer-wedding monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/94c86b01-07db-413d-91a3-8e0b2d1ad9c0/Illinois+wedding+sunset+photos+with+parasol+umbrella.jpeg Blog - Beating the Heat for your Summer Wedding - Shade Try out a venue that has a covered patio for the cocktail hour or reception! This is a great way to keep your guests shaded while still enjoying the outdoors.

This traditional element was interesting to navigate within this church because we had to hide Anna in a small room that wasn’t connected to the front of the church with the entrance doors. We made sure the timing was perfect so the guests were watching Mike halfway down the aisle and didn’t see her moving into position for the processional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/53ef00b1-4fa9-4891-a108-e76eba4fa5b7/Illinois+wedding+reception+cake+display+tables+centerpieces+dance+floor.jpeg Blog - Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook Wedding Feature: Anna and Mike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/47dde8d0-cf79-484e-9759-616a8167180a/Illinois+wedding+dessert+display.jpeg Blog - Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook Wedding Feature: Anna and Mike They had a wonderful arrangement of a variety of appetizers that spanned over three tables long, and then a beautiful dessert station wrapped around a column.

My goal is to help my couples be able to have a wedding day they can truly enjoy. I want to make sure that you, your friends, and your family all can experience your wedding day fully while I take care of all of the details for you. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/everything-your-wedding-party-needs-to-know-when-you-ask-them monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/0971c02e-839a-4377-8216-2888e6e405bc/Illinois+wedding+bridesmaid+mixmatched+dress+ideas+inspiration+Large.jpeg Blog - Everything your Wedding Party Needs to Know when you Ask Them - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/9a733476-f61a-456d-b0c3-7a74edf21aed/Illinois+wedding+bridesmaids+in+line+emerald+green.jpeg Blog - Everything your Wedding Party Needs to Know when you Ask Them - The Cost Although you know that you’re spending a lot of money on your wedding, it may be easy to forget what other people are expected to contribute. You need to determine ahead of time what you are willing to cover for your wedding party and what you are asking them to pay for themselves. Things to consider are attire, jewelry, accessories, hair, makeup, shoes, bachelorx parties, wedding showers, the cost of traveling, getting a hotel, any gifts/money they plan on giving you, and many other expenses that may unexpectedly pop up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/627c2ee5-0c89-4db9-92d0-935e2e41c69f/Illinois+wedding+ceremony+bridal+party+down+the+aisle+with+wedding+party+Large.jpeg Blog - Everything your Wedding Party Needs to Know when you Ask Them - The Time Weddings require a ton of time for you to plan, but it also is a multi-day commitment for your wedding party members as well. Traditionally, your wedding party members may be expected to attend your wedding shower, bachelorx parties, engagement parties, the rehearsal, and the actual wedding day. In some traditions and cultures, the wedding may even be more than one day long. This doesn’t include any additional time to find their attire and get it ordered, planning your bachelorx parties, days you are asking for help with decorations/details, or any other time that may be required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/022bff8f-dc46-4208-ac92-58b023436ce2/Illinois+wedding+maid+of+honor+helping+bride+into+her+shoes+getting+ready+shots.jpeg Blog - Everything your Wedding Party Needs to Know when you Ask Them - The Energy Your wedding day should be fun and exciting for you, but you and your wedding party may not be used to the physical and emotional toll wedding planning and the wedding day events take. You and your future spouse are going to be the most excited person about your wedding, but you should try to have conversations with your wedding party members about if they are up to helping you celebrate on your day. They will most likely be excited, but they may not “show it” in the way that you’re hoping. They probably won’t talk about it as much as you expect and that could be perceived as not being excited. Sometimes, wedding party members are required for over 12 hours if you’re doing hair and makeup with them bright and early. Some weddings may even last more than one day. Additionally, there’s a current trend of a multi-day bachelorx parties that require a lot of planning and energy on their end that they may not be used to or able to do. Make sure you communicate with them on what they are able to handle and want to handle for your wedding day and other wedding related events. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/how-to-prepare-for-your-wedding-rehearsal monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/496d6ebc-b00a-4a4b-8f6c-1273162e9aec/Illinois+wedding+rehearsal+dinner+outfits+for+bride+and+bridesmaids+wedding+party+photo+cute+lineup+shot.jpeg Blog - How to Prepare for your Wedding Rehearsal - Figure out your Outfits Plan the clothing, jewelry, shoes, accessories for you and your future spouse.

While planning my wedding in 2020, I was constantly thinking throughout the planning process about how hard it was going to be for me and my family now that they weren’t there with us. I personally knew that if I did too many of these things that I would be too sad, so the biggest thing I had was that I opted to have a memorial table with a candle from my mom. I also had my family/wedding party walk down the aisle to one of my grandparents’ favorite songs, and then played a few songs during the reception that my brother enjoyed that were also fun to dance to. I am very glad with still honoring them and feeling that they were still included on my wedding day. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/dealing-with-dress-regret monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/fa906307-3d0a-4b01-b274-c83802f41601/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+Large.jpeg Blog - Dealing with Wedding Dress Regret - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/7c8b8d10-37ef-4f40-a51e-bcf9d96ca709/Illinois+wedding+elopement+moody+romantic+bride+and+groom+shot+Large.jpeg Blog - Dealing with Wedding Dress Regret - Check if your expectations for the day were too high With so many shows like Say Yes to the Dress, it’s really easy to assume that you will have one of the best days of your life choosing a dress, besides your actual wedding day. You may have seen or heard about so many people crying as they said yes to their dress and all of your family and friends crying with you. It’s important to know that many people don’t cry when they find their dress and that is totally normal! It may not feel like a monumental, “main character” moment to you, but that doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice in your dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/f574ca2d-dc8c-4127-b812-4b5c792b1ae1/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+grand+exit+sendoff+shot+flower+petals+moody+elegant+Large.jpeg Blog - Dealing with Wedding Dress Regret - Check on Facebook groups I see many posts in the wedding Facebook groups that I am a part of that ask people if they like the way their dress looks or to ask which dress they prefer.

I did my best to reassure her that she looked beautiful, but I don’t think it convinced her that her dress was the perfect choice. However, after she received her wedding photos, she told me that she ended up really liking how she ended up looking! This may end up being the case for you too. It’s hard to know that you’ve made the right decision until you see it all come together and see how beautiful and happy you look. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/courtney-and-jack-february-19-2022 monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/867cfcc2-11e3-4fa6-97c7-844f8a906487/Bride+and+groom+seeing+reception+space+together+for+the+first+time+Illinois+wedding.jpeg Blog - Wedding Feature: Courtney and Jack - February 19, 2022 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/60d1d60a-1251-4f9a-87bf-6ddbd906cab6/bride+and+groom+first+touch+and+first+prayer+Illinois+wedding+.jpeg Blog - Wedding Feature: Courtney and Jack - February 19, 2022 Courtney and Jack decided they didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, but they did a unique “first touch” and prayer together before the ceremony began.

Guest List Downsizing Now is the perfect opportunity to cut some of the guests that you really don’t care about having at your wedding. Often, parents and friends will try to convince you to invite people you don’t really know that well or you feel pressured into inviting people you don’t really talk to anymore. COVID spread is a great reason to cut your guest list down to the people that you really want to be there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/48e945e7-b4c4-4a98-9f9b-3c953105d173/Illinois+wedding+snowy+elopment+mountains+bride+and+groom+kissing+portrait+Large.jpeg Blog - 5 Things to Change about Your Wedding and Blame on COVID - 2. Full Elopements or Postponed Parties Going a step further from the downsizing, many couples are able to tell their family and friends that they would like to have only close family and friends at their wedding due to COVID. You can tell your family that your elopement is the ideal route for not spreading COVID. You may have never wanted the party and so this is the perfect excuse to forgo having a big party. Another option under this same idea is for a lowkey, individual ceremony and having the “party” part later with your family and friends so there is less pressure on you both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/b97137ed-9e67-4fde-b139-a4450b4c5923/Illinois+wedding+elopement+small+wedding+family+casual+lowkey+bride+and+groom+Large.jpeg Blog - 5 Things to Change about Your Wedding and Blame on COVID - 3. No Kids Allowed COVID is still spreading among children - especially now that schools don’t have mask restrictions anymore. You can always say that you don’t want to put the children or older relatives at risk and opt for not having little kids running around your wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/06883a97-9d33-4b5b-9516-c88afc426d6e/Illinois+wedding+cute+LGBT+couple+elopement+portraits+together+mountains+scenic+Large.jpeg Blog - 5 Things to Change about Your Wedding and Blame on COVID - 4. Longer Engagements Some vendors are booking very far in advance due to being backlogged from COVID postponements. It may be easier on you to plan and book your vendors if you’re planning your wedding more than a year out. Additionally, now that people have seen what it’s like to have a long engagement, it might come into fashion to really enjoy the engagement time together and not rush through it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/aff9fc7e-13af-46cb-b1e6-b9eb2ece956e/Illinois+wedding+arizona+rocks+elopement+cool+bride+and+groom+dancing+portrait+Large.jpeg Blog - 5 Things to Change about Your Wedding and Blame on COVID - 5. Focusing on Other People’s Priorities There is an immense amount of pressure throughout your wedding process to please your family members and friends with your choices. However, COVID made it clear to everyone that the focus of your wedding is on your love and commitment above all else. Make sure you are making choices that you won’t regret and choose to do what you want after such a hurdle like a pandemic. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/what-to-pack-with-your-invitation-suite-for-details-shots monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e1e27016-29c2-45a1-a78e-38b2a172f7b9/Illinois+wedding+details+shot+unique+perfume+invitation+suite+details+shots+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/1fdc57a8-ed06-473a-8c27-c9f146bfa853/Illinois+wedding+invitation+suite+invite+flatlay+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Full Invitation Suite Make sure to bring all of your items from one extra set of your invitation. This means the invite itself, the RSVP card, the details cards, any extra bits that you added (any ribbon, belly bands, or wax seals are good examples), and an envelope. It really brings all of the pieces together to have an envelope with a written address on it - it can even be a fake address if you would like! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/28ffa47b-3b58-46f4-a945-93e9f7bc6d84/Illinois+wedding+jewelry+and+flowers+details+shots+with+rings+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Jewelry and Accessories Since your photographers usually take these photos before you or your future spouse are taking getting ready shots, you can set aside any of your jewelry or accessories either of you plan to wear. Any necklaces, bracelets, watches, earrings, cufflinks, shoes, veils, hair pieces, or head pieces make a flat lay look extra divine! Make sure that you have someone bring your partner back their jewelry and accessories if they are getting ready in a different place. You can also have these items prepared in each of your individual spaces instead of one place as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/07fe0b85-40d5-4cfa-ab32-78b05c087e8d/Illinois+wedding+romantic+red+ring+box+details+shot+invitation+suite+flatlay+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Both Rings and Ring Boxes This deserves its own section because it is so massively important your wedding day! Make sure to have yours and your future spouses rings along with their ring boxes if you have them. If you do this, make sure to have someone bring back both of the rings to whoever will have them during your ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/603f3c4d-2d23-4821-9821-719f56db0c39/Illinois+wedding+light+and+airy+details+shot+invitation+suite+flatlay+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Extra Greenery or Flowers If you have any florals with you during this time, it really adds a beautiful pop of color to your details shots. If you have the chance and you are having bouquets and boutonnieres dropped off before you’re finished getting ready, ask your florist to give you extra greenery or flowers to add to your flat lay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/adcc3cbc-031d-43c5-af76-8fb11618375d/Illinois+wedding+bride+and+groom+COVID+masks+with+details+shots+his+and+hers+flat+lay+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Perfume If you’re wearing a particular scent on your wedding day, it’s always fun to add this to your item list. It’s a good way to be reminded of the scents from your wedding day since you won’t see that anywhere else! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ec720705-10eb-46d5-9c30-b42bb62ec15f/Illinois+wedding+garter+details+shots+flat+lay+whimsical+and+colorful+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Garter Many people are not opting to have a garter anymore, but it’s a fun one to add to your list. I personally didn’t do a garter toss at my wedding, but I bought a Scottish garter because it had the MacQueen plaid and I thought that would be a fun way to wrap in my new family name. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/5e294141-a658-4188-ab34-2644e6e2e5bd/Illinois+wedding+dark+getting+ready+shot+details+vow+books+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Both Vow Books Since your vow books won’t be getting much attention throughout the day, it’s nice to have them with your other paper items in your details shots. It’s nice way to remember the personalized vows that you and your future spouse wrote for each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/34b3b585-4485-4c27-8363-e757d796c965/Illinois+wedding+flatlay+unique+Large.jpeg Blog - What to Pack with your Invitation Suite for your Details Shots - Family Heirlooms or Special Traditional Items If you are adding anything extra special to your day that was from your family or passed down to you, make sure to put this with your details items! It’s also a good idea to let your photographers and/or videographers know what these items are and the significance. This is also a good opportunity to tell them about any mementos of loved ones that are no longer with us. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/sustainable-elements-to-make-your-wedding-eco-friendly monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/de235fc7-9eb4-4bc8-b57a-46e46480cce9/Illinois+wedding+sweet+details+shot+flatlay+invitation+suite+Large.jpeg Blog - Sustainable Elements to Make Your Wedding Eco-Friendly - Electronic Invitations Having your wedding Save the Dates and Invites sent over email rather than in the mail will help save a ton of paper from eventually being thrown away and also save you a bunch of money. If you can’t imagine not having a physical copy, you can always print a few for your close family and friends and send the rest over email. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/76130aec-23eb-4e35-959b-14c98518321d/Illinois+wedding+boho+inspiration+welcome+deocrations+Large.jpeg Blog - Sustainable Elements to Make Your Wedding Eco-Friendly - Reusing Decor from your Home There are many items that you can incorporate from your home that would mean you have less to purchase and potentially get rid of later. You can use mirrors with vinyl lettering for your signage such as a seating chart or a welcome sign that would cost a lot less than buying an entirely new mirror. You also can use household items for other elements of your wedding like your centerpieces so that there wouldn’t be any additional manufacturing toward your wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/e10d3436-d14b-4345-8754-aaa7305a1033/Illinois+wedding+tablescape+ideas+reception+inspiration+Large.jpeg Blog - Sustainable Elements to Make Your Wedding Eco-Friendly - Dinnerware Decisions There is a debate on whether it is better to have recyclable items versus just using regular plates, silverware, and cups. More often than not, many of the recyclable options can’t actually be recycled because they were not properly clean from having food on them or would need to be dried of liquid. Even though it requires lots of water to clean all of your dishes, it seems to be the better option as far as sustainability. Many caterers additionally don’t have options for recyclable options anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/2ce157ba-84a5-4e0b-8dc3-109191afeb13/Illinois+wedding+floral+inspiration+ideas+Large.jpeg Blog - Sustainable Elements to Make Your Wedding Eco-Friendly - Reusing your Florals See if there is a way to have your flowers sent to assisted living homes or hospitals after the wedding is over. Ask your florist what they do with the leftover florals. Try doing flower rentals through Bloomerent for real flowers or Something Borrowed Blooms for faux flowers where they can reuse your florals for multiple weddings in a weekend, or buy already-used fake flowers and keep/resell them/give them to another couple so they aren’t tossed in the garbage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/65367c9c-2ca7-4f76-a2c1-f32b7d5a5c3e/Illinois+wedding+van+with+flowers+getaway+car+Large.jpeg Blog - Sustainable Elements to Make Your Wedding Eco-Friendly - Carpooling with your Wedding Party It’s generally better to have 1 bus than 12 cars all going to the same place, and this also makes the logistics much easier to handle. Usually guests may opt to carpool with family or friends as well, but this is typically not something worth your effort to try and make sure of. https://www.firmlyrootedevents.com/blog/10-unique-and-trendy-grand-exit-ideas monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/51ce36f1-bcf4-4ec0-8b5f-95e0629c4051/Illinois+wedding+grant+exit+sparkler+sendoff.jpg Blog - 10 Unique and Trendy Grand Exit Ideas - Sparklers Many venues no longer allow this option, so it is important to check with your venue if this will be okay. If you can do it, it is a beautiful option to utilize in the evening. You also will want to make sure you have a way for your guests to dispose of them that won’t create a fire hazard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/ed3a697e-c537-4efa-a386-f0ffa9f1963c/Illinois+wedding+grand+exit+sendoff+glow+sticks.jpg Blog - 10 Unique and Trendy Grand Exit Ideas - 4. Glow sticks This is a nighttime option that most venues would accept, but you’ll have to probably do a little prep work to make less mess. I would recommend to take the glow sticks out of the wrappers before the wedding so that you won’t have scraps all over the place or in the photos. Make sure to mention it to your photographer to see if they can do some longer exposure shots of it as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/3675b38a-f901-4587-ad96-1de509205f00/Illinois+grand+exit+sendoff+confetti.jpg Blog - 10 Unique and Trendy Grand Exit Ideas - 6. Confetti Many venues will not love this option due to the amount of cleanup, but it’s definitely worth looking into! You can get oversized confetti and put them in bags or even look into confetti cannons as an option. When looking for options, “biodegradable” usually doesn’t work the way you would hope and it will still leave a mess for months or years to come. Try looking for “water soluble” options that you can spray with a hose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/bc179293-b1e1-4e23-8217-1d1ff8c5e439/Illinois+wedding+grand+exit+sendoff+flower+petals.jpg Blog - 10 Unique and Trendy Grand Exit Ideas - 8. Flower petals Flower petals are a true classic for a grand exit. You can choose real or fake petals and any color flower under the rainbow! This requires some cleanup, but it doesn’t take as much effort since the petals are larger than confetti and much more “sweepable”. You can supply your guests with small bags of petals that you pre-pack and it should be a pretty easy process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea078964e1bb0802629d31/bdc352e8-6174-43f4-afcc-a37c03e4e364/Illinois+wedding+hand+tunnel+grand+exit+sendoff.jpg Blog - 10 Unique and Trendy Grand Exit Ideas - 10. Classic “hand tunnel” This last one is if you don’t really like any of these options but still would love the photo op. You can have your guests stand next to each other in two lines and just raise their hands up and over your heads! It’s the quickest option for setting people up and getting the photo ready, and of course has the least amount of cleanup too.
