I get weak at the knees when it comes to stationery and paper goods, so when I saw all of the fabulous little details scattered about this colorful wedding, my heart beat a bit quicker. But then I found out that the talented bride created it all herself, and well, I’m bowing down to her. Ann & Kam Photography & Cinema captured it all and you too can join in the fun with every burst of color.
From Ann & Kam Photography & Cinema… We are so excited to share this beautiful summer wedding. This wedding is close to our hearts because the groom is my brother and the bride is now my sister-in-law! Maggie and Rob were together for almost 10 years before they got married, so we have long felt like Maggie was a member of the family. Rob and Maggie share a love of music, and had members of both families perform at the ceremony!
Maggie is a graphic designer, and her eye for color and design was all over her wedding. Maggie designed all of her printed materials, pulling together the beautiful colors of the wedding and a strong sense of style. Believe it or not, Maggie’s aunts created the beautiful florals, including the bouquets and centerpieces. We could not stop gushing over the amazing giant pink peonies!
Maggie’s dress was an amazing design by Hayley Paige – it was so unique and looked perfect with her vintage-styled hair and makeup by Antje Kastner and Mollie Gloss!
Finally, Maggie and Rob had some unique struggles while planning their wedding. Just a few months before the wedding, their venue fell through, and they had to scramble to find a new space on a popular day in Chicago. Maggie kept her cool, though, and found an even more stunning setting for the ceremony on the rooftop of the Hellenic Museum. There are few places in Chicago with this amazing skyline view! The reception was held at Chez, which is a brand new event space right in downtown Chicago. Everybody agreed that the new spaces were even more perfect than the original!
