In seasonal cities like Chicago weddings don't stop in fall, winter and spring...you just need a spectacular over coat. Here are some recent winter coat styles we think would be great for winter weddings.
Monday, February 4, 2013 at 10:25 AM We had a wonderful time at Indie Wed on Saturday, and were inspired hearing all of the creative plans couples are making for their 2013 and 2014 weddings. Indie Wed is THE event for couples looking for unique wedding ideas and professionals, and we were honored to participate. Thanks to everyone who came by our booth to say hello, and also a big thanks to our associates Amanda and Kevin for doing such a wonderful job. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful people, couples and professionals, to make our world go round.
Here are some of our favorite highlights from Indie Wed. There are also lots more pictures on our facebook page.

Brides and bridesmaids, can we please see some Mohop shoes on your feet? Folks in Chicago make these kicks!
The Caterist, a new catering company based in Evanston, was in the booth next to ours. They saw us drooling, had mercy on us, and gave us some treats. They were quite tasty and we were impressed!
We liked this band called We, Unity Candle. They were fun, but as serious audiophiles we were mostly impressed with their abilities to manage quality live sound while rocking the house. We see a lot of bands that mistake loud distorted volume for rocking, and these guys did NOT do that, bravo!
Tweedle Press drew a crowd with their chimerical designs and environmentally sustainable paper goods
Endearing accessories and fabric flowers headpieces on display by Clark & Diversey
A great pairing of professionals, the always sophisticated Sarah Drake Design with Pistil & Vine Floral Design
MarEva's custom designed jewelry and brooch bouquets caught our eye. We were easily lured in by so many beautiful shiny sparkly things.

Since the couple lives in New York, they had a lot of help from family and friends to plan and organize the wedding, which took place at Naper Settlement and Meson Sabika.
During the morning, the bride had help getting ready at home with her mother and bridesmaids, a.k.a. "team bride." Her lovely Sassi Holford gown was accented with two different sashes, one white for daytime and one black for evening. Her black studded Giuseppe Zanotti heels also added a kick of personal style. The bridesmaids wore long black dresses, with bouquets of autumnal reds and peach-orange hues.
The Century Memorial Chapel at Naper Settlement was built in 1864 with a Gothic Revival style of architecture. The couple was married by the same minister who presided over the bride's parents wedding years ago.
M&M Special Events decorated the reception with warm champaign, cream and soft golden tones, along with Philip's Flowers arrangements, which were primarily ivory roses for the centerpieces, along accent arrangements and cake topper flowers in vibrant deep red and peachy-orange roses.
The groom's brother was his best man, and he had kept the first "contract" the two made as young boys. It was an agreement to "not hit each other during the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.," which was a lovely sentimental gesture that had everyone laughing and crying at the same time.
During the course of the evening Kallie also had a special moment for her sister Breanne, presenting her with a parade of birthday cakes! We are also honored to be joining this family again later this year when they will be celebrating Breanne's wedding in June.

As we look towards Valentines Day next month, one of the biggest engagement days each year, we're inspired to do a new round up of the latest engagement rings for 2013. A few unique trends we're seeing are rose gold bands, emerald green stones and yellow diamonds. Also, classic cuts and vintage style engagement rings are forever fashionable.
