A Contemporary Chicago Wedding, with Southern Charm
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.
