Real Weddings: Amy + Steve

Cozy, soft, and romantic, Amy and Steve’s Chicago wedding is the perfect mix of vintage and modern.  Hilary from Estera Events dubbed the wedding style “Granny Chic” and I’m in love!  With the clean, modern feel of Room 1520 as the backdrop, the tables were dressed with romantic arrangements of garden roses and hydrangea in milk glass vases from Fleur, custom textured linens, elegant vintage china from Plate, and table names of quirky, vintage playing cards. Who wouldn’t want to be seated at Mischievous Monkey or Silly Goose? Playing off of Amy’s personality, the couple selected the name “Sassy Squirrel” for their intimate sweetheart table.  This wedding has so much personality, so sit back and enjoy the beautiful images from I Luv Photo!
