Beth and Nick- Chicago Chapter - April 2010
We are so happy to announce that the Chicago Chapter’s first wedding wish took place this weekend! You’ve read about Beth and Nick’s love story before, and now we are thrilled to say they are husband and wife.
The couple was married on Sunday, April 18th in the suburbs of Chicago. Beth loves cherry blossoms and since it coordinated so perfectly with the season, the flowers were incorporated throughout the wedding. The colors for the wedding were pink and moss green, and the cherry blossoms were included on the invitations, menu cards, cake, and real blossoms were gathered in bunches throughout the venue.
Beth chose a stylish birdcage veil for the day and carried a lovely bouquet full of pink and green blooms. She walked down the aisle to “Canon in D” and after a touching ceremony, the couple enjoyed a fabulous lunch with their guests hosted by Giovan’s Restaurant (one of their favorite places)!
The lush centerpieces of pink peonies, lilac and roses were housed in beautiful silver bowls that adorned each table. And, the sparkling cut crystal stemware and silver rimmed ivory china matched the theme perfectly. While Beth and Nick looked on from their sweetheart table the guests dined on homemade cavatelli pasta, grilled filet medallions, and chicken in a white wine sauce. After lunch the couple had their first dance to “Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden, and then everyone enjoyed the adorable cherry blossom cake!
But most importantly, Beth and Nick were able to enjoy a day of celebration and love with their friends and family. As she told CBS news, “When you’re facing your own mortality, you realize how much more important it is to be with someone you love and people you care about,” said Beth, “and share your life with them, and let you know how much you care about them.”
Our sincere congratulations to Beth and Nick and a huge thank you to all who donated their time and services to make this wedding possible! For a full list of all the vendors involved, please see below. {All photos courtesy of Gerber + Scarpelli}
