Real Weddings: Morgan + Michael

We left you on Friday with some wonderful fall wedding inspiration and I’m back today even more excited for the change of seasons! Morgan and Michael’s Chicago wedding features a rich and beautiful color palette with my most favorite colors of fall. Their reception decor included carved pumpkins, floating cranberries, and mini pumpkin escort cards in a candle-lit, enchanted space, River East Art Center. And then there’s Morgan’s gown. Oh Vera, how I adore thee…Hope you enjoy this fabulous wedding from Engaging Events by Ali and Becky Hill!
