Real Weddings: Chelsea + Adam

On this frozen Chicago morning, it brightens my day to share a wedding in the warm and sunny summer, with light and airy pink florals and the gorgeous setting of the ballroom at Hinsdale Golf Club.  It’s beautifully romantic and traditional, while also being tailored and chic!  Chelsea and Adam’s wedding was shared by my delightful friend Becky Hill, and Kara Superfine of Bliss Weddings and Events worked with the couple to bring their vision to reality.

Chelsea walked down the aisle with a gift from her aunt, a bonnet she wore at her christening that had been saved and her turned into a handkerchief.
