When I heard the ideas for Ali Marie and Dolan’s wedding, I couldn’t wait to be a part of it. Ali Marie and Dolan decided to get married in and intimate setting. It would be just the two of them and family friend Rev. Dennis, at the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago. Being mixed media artists, Dolan and Ali Marie had some fabulous wedding details, from buttons as a hair accent to cowboy boots and colorful bouquet, which was custom designed. The day was perfect, filled with love and laughter, warm wishes of congratulations to a beautiful couple. To read more and view additional photos from this wedding please visit my blog or website.

Awesome wedding and couple! I LOVE that bouquet!!!
May the wind against your backs only push you closer together
May the sunshine in your eyes
be the love inside you breaking out
May the sounds within the skies
be the calling of nature into your hearts
May the touch of your arms
envelope the love the two of you share together.
May my blessing to you be that
in age your love will grow strong
but also be mellow with time
What a wonderful road to travel…just you two.
