CATHOLIC SUMMER WEDDING AT SS. CYRIL & METHODIAS PARISH IN ILLINOIS, WITH TROLLEY RIDE TO GARDEN PARTY TENT RECEPTION.
Another stunning flat lay with Madison’s grandmother’s jewelry box and a beautiful full invitation suite.
If you haven’t seen my Bride Guide – a magazine I send to all my clients, I highly recommend ordering 2-3 full invitation sets that are created especially beautifully for a keepsake and photo op! It is expensive to order full, luxurious sets for every guest, especially if you have a huge wedding! If you can’t do that but still want something beautiful like this to keep, just order a few sample sets and voila!
Madison and her girls got ready at the house she grew up in that had a beautiful front room with a huge window and grand staircase to walk down for a bridal party first look.
An adorable trolley took the ladies to the SS. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church – which was one of the most stunning I’ve seen in the midwest!
Sean won best groom’s tux of the year award with the dark green! Loved it.
Gold lined everything and made this ceremony feel even more elegant and heavenly.
Everyone cheered them on as they exited the church and we headed to a park for portraits under giant tree rows and around some historic buildings in Illinois.
This was one of those bridal parties that made me feel like I was just one of their friends tagging along and enjoying each other’s company.
The colors of this bridal party perfectly went with the garden party theme to come!
Madison thrifted vintage China for months to use for her wedding and really make this garden theme happen, and the couple was fortunate to use the property of family friends for their event.
Emotional first dances and a *hilarious* top 5 speech from the groom’s little brother brought us to a cake cutting of a delicious berry filled cake and dancing the night away.
Wishing a happily ever after to this holy and delightful couple!
CHEERS TO THE DOYLES!
