Katie and Drew

DerricoWedding-16

We had the privilege last month of decorating the wedding of

Katie and Drew. 

It took place at the gorgeous Acquaviva Winery in Maple Park, Illinois,

just west of St. Charles.  Katie is a vibrant and energetic personality

with a never-ending smile.  She knew exactly what she wanted

down to the last detail and I just loved working with her!

The ceremony took place across the street from the winery at the

owners estate, surrounded by beautiful vineyards. 

Taking in the scenery made you forget you were in Illinois!

Kate is a city girl, and wanted to incorporate her urban style

along with vintage elements. 

The colors were plum, dark teal, charcoal gray and black with

loads of burlap, tulle, wine bottles, silver, baby’s breath

and touches of lace and rhinestones. 

It was elegance-meets-bling-meets-vintage at it’s best!

Kate had these amazing structured fabric flowers created by

 Jane Joss on Etsy.

We incorporated these throughout the ceremony and reception,

along with fabric boutonnieres, wrist corsages, Kate’s headpiece, and

centerpieces in vintage silver created at our studio. 

The mix of styles worked out perfect!

We also set up a great vintage lounge and

beverage station where everyone could relax and mingle before and after

the ceremony.  It turned out to be a great hit…

The theme continued over to the reception with the centerpieces

incorporating burlap, vintage silver, decorated wine bottles,

wine boxes and fabulous silver candelabras.  Lots of votives wrapped

in burlap, lace, twine and vintage buttons added to display.
