Real Weddings: Alyssa + Mark

A secret garden hidden in the center of Chicago? Alyssa and Mark were on a mission to make it happen. A fantastic place to start was their venue, The Ivy Room, to which they added tons of vintage details: antique books, a vintage typewriter, wooden table numbers, and lace doilies. Even their invitations (the couple designed and made them!) remind me of a secret map. Dawn Roscoe took beautiful photos of their day and truly captured their secret Chicago garden feel!
