Real Weddings: Amanda + Matt

You may remember Amanda and Matt from their San Francisco engagement session blog post a few months ago.  Steve Koo captured those amazing images and also photographed their beautiful wedding at the Kenilworth Club in Chicago.

Amanda’s Amy Kuschel gown is just to-die-for (it’s officially my new favorite wedding gown ever) and a vibrant orange and purple bouquet completes her look.

The garden at the Kenilworth Club was a perfect setting for the ceremony.

Tables were decorated with simple arrangements in mason jars and “numbered” with places important to the couple.

  4. Her dress is absolutely beautiful. Is there a way to find out where it is from?

  5. Beautiful wedding! I love the color of the bridesmaid dresses, where are they from?

    I am getting married in May and I love the purple stripe tie. Do you happen to know where it is from? Thanks!

      hi kristen, i’m so sorry but i don’t have information on the groom’s tie. i’m sure you can find something perfect though, purple is so en vogue!

    I love everything about this wedding-it really incorporated a lot of my own thoughts, but I had never seen it work so well before. I was wondering if you knew where the bridesmaids in the one picture got their dresses-i love the color and style and cant really find anything like it. thanks :)

      hi corrie! unfortunately i don’t have any information on the bridesmaids because they all chose their own purple gown, so they are all different designers. i hope you find your perfect bridesmaids dresses, though!

    It looks like each bridesmaid has a different one, and maybe picked it herself, but in the first picture with with the two bridesmaids, it looks like both of those are from J Crew, so I would check there. I almost used their dresses for my wedding and several of my friends have. A wide variety of colors and styles at relatively affordable prices, especially if you catch a sale.

    Hey!

    I absolutely LOVE your wedding color choice! What color purple did you use for the bridesmaid dress? Also what color orange?
