Chicago Wedding at Ritz-Carlton Pictures

On Monday we got to see the gorgeous feature in Get Married magazine of Nicole and Aubrey’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago.  Today, I wanted to share some more gorgeous pictures of the wedding with you. 

Nicole and Aubrey’s wedding was a gorgeous fall day in October in Chicago. The trees in the park were full of fall colors and Nicole wanted her wedding to embrace those fun and happy fall colors. From the bridesmaids dresses to the decor on the tables, we embraced the fall colors for their happy event.

Following the ceremony in the ballroom, the room was transformed by Flower Firm and Frost Lighting, using lighting, manzanita branches and tons of roses and orchids to create a romantic and warm glow. The bride and groom snuck away during that transformation to have pictures on Michigan Avenue and also Water Tower Place. 

Once the ballroom doors re-opened, the dance floor was filled to the brim by the music of the Peter Hennes Orchestra. And as a nod to her Chicago childhood of eating Chicago Style Pizze, Nicole and Aubrey treated their guests with pizza cutters as their favors.

Thanks goes out to Becky Hill Photography for sharing the gorgeous images with me via Two Bright Lights.
