Dan + Natalie Mitchell (Willet) selected Cog Hill Country Club as the stage for their big day on February 24th, 2012.  Lucky for us, we were invited to join them for this joyous occasion.  Now Cog Hill is a beautiful place, but I must confess I don’t think I’ve ever seen their ballroom look so good!  It’s what one would come to expect though, when the bride and groom own a local flower studio!
Dan + Natalie were fun, easygoing and there to enjoy every moment of the evening. Nothing makes me smile more than when I see couples put aside their wedding day stress and enjoy their big day to the absolute fullest!

On Saturday November 26th, 2011 we had the pleasure of working with Eugene + Mia Cuttitta at their Lockport Wedding reception which took place at DiNolfos Banquets.
The theme for this Lockport Wedding was peacock.   From the table centerpieces to the bridemaid’s dresses; each element carefully planned to fit this unique theme.  The vibrant shades of blue LED lights also dressed the room to fit the theme as well.  This was our first time seeing a peacock wedding and we must say it was quite impressive!  Mia even made it a point to have us play the song “Peacock” by Katy Perry for her bouquet toss!  So fun!

Jacob + Hilary were married in the beautiful Orland Park Christian Reformed Church in Orland Park, Illinois on November 25th, 2011.  Immediately following the ceremony their guests were invited to the DiNolfos banquet hall in Homer Glen for an exciting time of celebration.
Jacob + Hilary’s wedding had a harvest theme which incorporated lots of warm colors like burnt orange and brown into the mix.  It was totally unique and really brought the Aspen Room to life!  The table centerpieces even played into their theme with harvest colored flowers in a decorative pumpkin vase surrounded by gourds.   Catherine’s Garden did a remarkable  job incorporating the flowers with the given color palate.  To get a sneak peak into this Homer Glen Wedding be sure to check out the Nydam’s Jam Cam Video below.  This video will give you a front row ticket to all the festivities!
