Perfect Beach Wedding

August 9th, 2010

Caroline and Edward really celebrated their wedding in style.  Every detail was perfectly matched, charming and casual/chic.   The whole event was extremely romantic and well thought out. 

The picturesque beach setting is from non other than The 63rd Street Beach House.  This post might get me in trouble because I once blogged about how difficult this venue can be if your not prepared for the Chicago weather; however Carrie and Ed’s day was beyond perfect.

They held their ceremony under the main pavilion of the beach house which over looks Lake Michigan.  The view is so beautiful that the couple didn’t need to add a lot of ceremony decor.  The bride’s dress was a perfect choice for their outdoor, beach wedding. 

The architecture of the beach house is really intricate and is a great back drop for weddings.  Their simple and elegant “alter” arrangements are the perfect size and style for the space. 

After the ceremony, the guests had cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the south wing of the beach house.  Since the weather was so nice and breezy the guests enjoyed the open air  of the event space. 

While they were cocktailing the staff broke down the ceremony and created this beautiful floor plan for their seated dinner.   You can’t tell from this picture but the dance floor was located lake side at the top of the pavilion. 

Some of the details I was mentioning earlier:  Look at these fantastic menu cards, place cards and table numbers!

All in all it was a perfect day and Clementine wishes the happy couple all the best as their 1 year anniversary is approaching.
