Chicago Style Wedding
Posted by Tamara Sims | Filed under Wedding Reception Ideas, Wedding Resources, Wedding Venues
A unique way to capture the essence of Chicago at your wedding. Custom drawings of famous Chicago landmarks at each table.
Summer in Chicago is such a fun time of year. There is so much to do and see in our beautiful city…from Millennium Park, to countless outdoor festivals and museums, baseball, and let’s not forget the delicious food.
When planning your Chicago Style Wedding be sure to share your favorite things about the city with your guests. Chicago Landmarks as table numbers, Garrett Popcorn for your guests to enjoy or even bags of peanuts would showcase a fun Chicago vibe.
Garrett Popcorn...a Chicago tradition for your guests to enjoy!
And don’t forget the cake! One of my favorites this year was the Chicago Skyline Cake!

I just love Alyssa & Zac's personalized wedding cake from Oak Mill Bakery!
I thought it would be fun to share some unique wedding cake photos that I have seen this past summer…from cupcake towers to monogrammed tiered cakes, the possibilities are endless.
A Cupcake Tower is a beautiful and yummy centerpiece for your wedding reception.
Do you have a favorite local bakery? Find out if they do wedding cakes. I was so excited to see that my favorite place for treats Magnolia Bakery, also makes wedding cakes. And always make sure when selecting your cake that it tastes as good as it looks!
Delicious wedding cakes from my favorite place...Magnolia Bakery!!!

Floral Designer Casey Murdough of The Elegant Petal provided lovely baby pink and ivory centerpieces that were pin-spotted by our team at Elegant Event Lighting. We also carried Maureen & Greg’s color palette throughout the room with baby pink uplighting and as the cherry on top of the sundae, Maureen & Greg’s names were illuminated on the brick wall for all guests to enjoy.
Thank you to Deanne Mitchell and her wonderful staff at The Herrington Inn for always being such a pleasure to work with and for helping our team create the wedding of Maureen & Greg’s dreams!
