Natural Tablescape Ideas

I knew I needed a solid and beauty of a table to work with, so I called on Chicago Farm Tables. Their handmade tables are incredible and worked perfectly for this shoot. Add on the vintage china from Vintage Place Settings, the florals, and we were set. A beautiful and natural tablescape perfect for that organic and elegant wedding you have always dreamed of.

Natural Place Card Idea

Find a small twig that can be found outside, punch two small holes on your escort card wrap around twig with ribbon. You have a handmade twig place card.

All White Venue

Our amazing indoor venue Chez, as well as the bustling streets of Chicago this shoot were perfect. We wanted to show that you can find natural and soft beauty, even in the busy streets of Chicago and all white venue.
