I’ve always wanted to travel to Paris….I mean…who wouldn’t right?! It’s the city of love. Well, I think I’ve found the perfect little place hidden in the heart of Chicago that gives that same special romantic feeling, RM Champagne Salon! I loved everything about this shoot and I know you will too.

A HUGE thank you to Donnie of Formally Modern for loaning us this elegant tuxedo. This store is exactly what they claim to be! My husband, who went to pick up the tux, was incredibly impressed with the modern and inviting atmosphere of the store. Gentlemen, you must check them out!

We finished our groom’s look by adding a gold bow tie and pocket square from The Tie Bar!  My brother-in-law pointed me in their direction when I was searching for stylish ties.  He won Chicago’s Best Dressed Male in the Red Eye…so I guess that means something right?!

That beautiful gown? That’s a Theia couture gown from Rent the Runway .

Elyse and Betsy of  Two Sister Event Design styled the room. They came up with the perfect little details to really pull our vision together.

This stunning cake is a  Luscious Layers Bakery creation!

I LOVE dessert tables…one because they are so cute and two because, who doesn’t love sweets?! Giovanna of Fancy Me Cupcakes created the most adorable and incredibly delicious cake pops! Sprinkled with gold sparkle and put in champagne glasses, these cake pops were really spectacular.

Sheila of Ipomea Floral put together the most gorgeous arrangments of flowers. Ladies, she’s the gal to go to!

We were absolutely thrilled when Percy Handmade shipped us one of their elegant headpieces all the way from Australia just for this shoot!

And of course I can’t forget the invitation suite and menu cards from Lindsey Kay Design and the beautiful rings from Oliverio Jewelers!

I hope you find this shoot as incredibly romantic and inspiring as we did!

I have to give a quick THANK YOU and shout out to our amazing models Rachel and Tim!  They totally rocked this!!
