An absolute favorite client of mine was recently married on a wintry, festive holiday evening.

Meg and Josh got married at the most charming Lutheran Church in Chicago, St. James, situated on a tree-lined residential street in cutie Lincoln Park.

After the ceremony, guests were transported through the holiday-dressed city to the iconic Drake Hotel for a wonderful night of dinner and dancing with nearly 400 of the bride and grooms closest friends!

The Gold Coast Room literally twinkled from top to bottom with hundreds of flickering candles of all different forms. Tall gold candelabras were enhanced with winter greens, rustic pine cones and snowy white blooms.

The ladies wore beautiful graphite dresses, kept {just a bit} warmer with the help of beautiful pashminas. Even Santa couldn’t stay away!

Meg and Josh found true love in one another. There is no doubt that their life will be brimming with love and happiness.
