Real Weddings: Caroline + Edward

I love love love today’s Chicago wedding, photographed by Laurie Peacock. Yes, I’m biased, since I think my city is just phenomenal, but Caroline and Edward’s wedding is too wonderful not to love. There was an elegant simplicity to the entire event, held at the 63rd Street Beach House, and the ocean-inspired floral designs by Allison Denny at Stems are so unique!

Caroline’s navy blue and green bouquet is exquisite. I spy cabbage, succulents, and all sorts of treasures in there!

The 63rd Street Beach House is an open-air venue. I love the lighting and laid-back elegance of it!

All of the floral design echoed the rustic beach landscape.
