And just like that… PJ + Nate, the newlyweds 🤍
Days before this wedding, we were watching air quality numbers instead of the weather forecast, as the wildfire smoke settled over Chicago. Then wedding day rolled around with clear skies, giving us a bright, sunny day that could not have been more perfect!
For starters, let’s yap about this color palette though.... OBSESSED with the blue and green. Loved that these two got ready in places they felt most comfortable: PJ at her parents’ with her bridesmaids in the most gorgeous dresses, Nate at his friend’s (now sister-in-law’s) house. FYI, I’m hiring them to design my home next! Dream home decor goals ✨
The overall vibe: timeless summer elegance with a fresh twist. Classic, intentional, garden-inspired luxury with subtle European influences (my fav iykyk.) Every detail had a reason, down to the custom matchbox favors made by PJ’s dad and embroidered sashes for all the bridesmaids!! Adorbs.
Two people who clearly adore each other, celebrating with people who adore them even more. 🥹
