An Enzoani bride with a luscious bouquet
When curating this shoot, the team wanted the entire day to be sentimental - choosing the couple's backyard for their venue. With ample space and lush greenery it was an amazing setting for the couple to honor their love and for bride Taylor to put on her wedding dress a year later. She raved about how excited she was to wear her stunning Enzoani dress again!
We adore this gown's layers of lace and glitter detailing! The bride's glowing makeup and soft waves were styled by Lindsay Dee Beauty.
Her look was tied together by a truly luscious bouquet by Green Thumb Homies, comprised of butter yellow roses, large white Juliet roses, and giant pink roses with pops of Feverfew and bright blue Delphinium.
Modern bridesmaids in Birdy Grey
Having the bride's best friends join the anniversary shoot was such a sweet touch! Taylor's gorgeous bridesmaids wore modern satin Birdy Grey dresses in a soft spring palette of pink, silver, and blue. We love the subtle differences in dress style, while creating a cohesive and sweet effect!

Cape Cod inspired reception with elements from home
Northwest Weddings and Events created a vision of a Cape Cod garden party right in the couple's Chicago backyard! The designer enhanced the natural beauty of the space with a reception table adorned with an over the top twelve foot floral runner. The vibrant and enchanting florals paired gorgeously with the "Porcelain Blue Anna" tablecloth and chic chairs from Nuage Designs.
The tablescapes were equally sentimental to the day, incorporating the couple's own Anthropologie napkins, tableware, and champagne flutes from home that made the table shine. We love Anthropologie's chic designs for any wedding!
Champagne tower for Chicago sweethearts
On the hot Chicago day, a signature champagne tower was a perfect way for these cuties to cool off and toast to their anniversary! Champagne towers have been such a classic trend this season and these vintage goblets brought such a timeless feel to the moment.
