Real Wedding Saturday: Flora & Chris

I love it when a bride tells me that most of her wedding inspiration came from blogs! That's where Flora found most of the inspiration for her sweet Chicago wedding to Chris, and they were kind enough to share with us. Leo Patrone captured images from the day...




Dress by Pronovias.




Flowers by A Perfect Event.


The ceremony took place at the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago.






Groom's suit from J.Crew.






After the ceremony, everyone hopped on a trolley to the reception site.






100 guests joined in the celebration at Flatwater, a restaurant right on the Chicago River.


Flora designed all of the printed materials, from the invitations to the programs to the table numbers, herself.


Mariachi Morelos provided the music. Cake made by Sarah's Pastries and Candies.



Congratulations Flora and Chris! Best wishes to you as you start your life together. And thank you so much to Leo Patrone for sharing these beautiful photos with us - Flora and Chris lost a deposit on another photographer so that they could book Leo, and as Flora says, "I don't regret it one bit!" You can see even more beautiful photos of Flora and Chris' wedding here, and be sure to check out the darling intro of their wedding website, too.

I've just left a similar comment at "100 Layer Cake" and this comment has nothing to do with this post: but anyone who's interested in weddings and who'd like to be inspired should go here: http://www.vam.ac.uk/things-to-do/wedding-fashion/home - it's funny, but there's also some very lovely stuff to look at.
