If you’re not sold on the idea of having all your bridesmaids wear different dresses you might want to consider another way to “mix it up” a bit. One of my client’s had all the ladies wear the same dress but she had them accessorize with the broach of their choice.
I think this nice little detail is a great way to have each dress, each bridesmaid, a little different. Yet at first glace (and in the wedding pictures), they all look the same.

I love the fresh vibe you get at The Danada House, located in Wheaton, Illinois. The grounds are so beautiful and include lots of fresh flowers, green grass and horse stables. The Danada House has so much fantastic charm, it really is the perfect setting for a summer wedding.
Robyn and Matt exuded a fresh, laid back, style and it was perfect for the venue. The bride was stunning with flowers in her hair and on her dress. Jenna Bruhn from Avant Gardenia creative an amazing bouquet that fit the bride’s style perfectly.
The groom and groomsmen looked sharp and cool on such a hot day! I am convinced this wedding happened on the hottest day of 2010.
The ceremony was held outside and was surrounded by trees, grass and sunshine.
The reception details really kept with the overall theme of the wedding. It was just beautiful and the vibrant green matched the green of the trees in the back ground nicely.
These centerpieces were perfect for the look and feel of the wedding. The reception dining room had floor to ceiling windows and there arrangements helped bring the outdoors inside.
It was just such a lovely day and I’m so glad I got to work with Robyn and Matt.

You must go and check out this fantastic new exhibit at the Chicago History Museum! I had the pleasure of attending an industry opening last week and had a wonderful time. The exhibit reminded me a lot of “Chic Chicago” if you had a chance to view that fantastic exhibit last year.
“I Do! Chicago Ties the Knot”, is really a wonderful collection of fashions, stories and accessories from weddings throughout time. The Chicago History Museum has an incredible collection of wedding gowns, suits and accessories dating back to the 1720′s. It’s so interesting to learn about past traditions and how they’ve changed over years. Some of the traditions have even stayed the same! Many of the old-fashioned styles have influenced the way brides celebrate today.
It would be really fun to take your bridesmaids to The History Museum before or after a bridal brunch, maybe you’ll get some new ideas for your own big day! The exhibition run through January 3, 2011.

How cool are these fantastic cuff bracelets? They are really modern and bold yet soft and romantic. If you are wearing a simple gown I think cuff bracelets like this would really look sharp.
Another great idea: Take an intricate cuff bracelet and cuff around the stems of your bridal bouquet. It will create a really modern look for your bouquet.
