The dress, the veil, the soft elegant charm. From the light that flows through the windows by day to the city lights glowing by night, you’d imagine the inclusion of an old train in the mix would be too much. But there it all is, and just steps from so many other options. Allison and Andrew married under an arbor of modern decor by Lilly Lane and with the kind of light filling the room that makes my heart skip a beat! There were tears, smiles, laughter and more smiles. Be it family or friend, this was a special opportunity to be together and celebrate. In the Crowne Plaza, no less! Historically, this building causes you to pause and take note, from the Grand Hall to here in the Illinois Street Ballroom and everywhere in between. But it’s no surprise that it’s really always the people, the love story at hand, that gives even these spaces their purpose. As the room transformed from the gorgeous ceremony setting to the perfectly set reception, the walls continued to have the best view of old and young, new and old love, long romantic veils and perfectly knotted bow ties. Ours was pretty wonderful too. Thank you for a lovely day Allison and Andrew.
