VENUE: MORTON ARBORETUM | PHOTOGRAPHY: GOLDEN HOURS WEDDINGS | FLORALS: SPROUT HOME | DJ: SPIN CHICAGO | HAIR + MAKEUP: THE BRIDAL COLLECTIVE
September at the Morton Arboretum is bound to be fantastic. The weather, the venue, the couple, the puppy dog--all *chef's kiss* simply perfection. On top of that, Carly and Ben are sincerely sweet people and it was an honor to help them get married. During their lakefront golden hour ceremony, each read aloud the vows they'd written privately for each other. It was astounding how similarly they expressed themselves, both of them even retelling the story of their first date the same way that it produced surprised giggles from their friends and family in attendance. It was delightful and a sign that they are truly meant to be. Once the ceremony concluded, the guests walked among the trees and flower beds to a secluded tent where a coursed dinner awaited. Once everyone had finished their meals, the DJ got the party going. This group danced the night away. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple!
