Parisian Inspired Chicago Wedding

Love this stunning Parisian inspired wedding.  With the Blackstone Hotel as the perfect venue,  soft pastels to set the mood, and springtime in Paris as the inspiration, this wedding is chalk full of lovely details.  I love the beautiful gown by Priscilla of Boston and all the sparkly details through out the wedding.

Cinco de Mayo Inspiration

Cinco de Mayo is this Saturday and a dessert table like the one below is the perfect way to celebrate.  With an authentic Hacienda flair, this table highlights the Mexican culture's flair for sweets.  Featuring an ombre cake, mini churro cupcakes, mini Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes, Mexican wedding cookies, and Jarritos or Latin sodas.  The soft pastel color palette of greens, blues, and oranges really tie the whole table together.  Love the blue glass platters and the lovely orange blossoms.
