Newlyweds, Tina and Mark, celebrated their love for each other in grand style! After the great experience with them on their engagement photo session in December 2009, it was an honor to have been a part of their special day.
The day's events began with a trolley ride for the Bridal Party, transporting them to the ceremony's location in Park Ridge, Illinois. Upon their arrival, Tina and the Bridal Party discreetly entered the church as to not be seen by the guests or her groom, as Mark was to see his bride for the first time walking down the aisle; It was truly a beautiful moment filled with excitement.
The couple was radiating, not only with love, but with a stylish elegance. The wedding fashion was exquisite. Tina was radiant in her wedding gown. With lace trim detailing, a chic open back, and a soft pink sash adorned with a jeweled brooch, Tina dazzled. Her look was completed with a beautiful bouquet of soft pink roses, created by K.LA Designs. This color was also present on Mark, as he handsomely donned a matching tie with his tuxedo.
The wedding ceremony then took place at Mary, Seat of Wisdom. The church provided a wondrous setting for the occasion. Following their nuptials, the newlyweds were joined by their parties for a Bridal Walk in Chicago's Randolph Park, where great moments of love and celebration were captured.
The festivities continued at the reception, held at the Mid-America Club in Chicago. Once there, wedding planner Katie Goggin of Designer Event Chicago created the perfect celebration for Tina and Mark. Contributing to the magic of the evening, Bittersweet designed a beautiful wedding cake, while Toast and Jam played "You and Me" by Dave Matthews Band for the newlywed's first dance. The reception concluded at midnight, as the song "Sweet Home Chicago" filled the air.
It was indeed a marvelous day for all. Congratulations to the happy couple!
