Her work is editorial in eye and warm in feeling — soft, honest color, close attention to the details her couples have considered, and the moments that happen between them. She brings an artist's care to what's already in front of her, so her couples get to be present for the day instead of producing it. Most of them leave with a friend.
This wedding was filled with vibrant pops of blue, lush florals, and chic touches woven throughout the entire day—perfect for any bride dreaming of a romantic celebration. The event took place at the breathtaking Monte Bello Estate, one of the top wedding venues in the Chicago suburbs, with its stunning floral grounds, ivy-draped trees, and an elegant mansion that provided the perfect backdrop for this memorable occasion.
Stephanie wore a plunging V-neck gown adorned with floral motifs throughout its flowing A-line silhouette, complete with a dramatic train. Complementing her look was a lush bouquet featuring pops of blue and pink, a long tulle veil, chic pointed shoes with pearl straps, and soft romantic glam. Her bridesmaids wore elegant blue gowns paired with delicate bouquets, while the groom and his groomsmen looked sharp in blue tuxedos with champagne bow ties—making this Monte Bello Estate wedding unforgettable.
The ceremony was set to the romantic sounds of a string quartet, framed by towering floral pillars and vases brimming with fresh blooms. Special readings, a sand ceremony, and confetti as the couple shared their first kiss added personal and memorable touches to this Monte Bello wedding venue experience.
At the reception, florals and romantic details filled the space, with a mix of tall and low centerpieces creating depth.
