October 22, 2016. It’s a date that no Chicagoan will soon forget. Why? Because Laura + Josh had a gorgeous and perfectly beautiful wedding at Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum! Oh, and the Cubs won the NLCS to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1945. But, really, it’s because of the wedding and you’re about to see why…
Laura + Josh started the day getting ready at the Westin on Michigan Avenue. And the fun was just beginning…
After a few photos around the city, Laura + Josh headed to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum where their ceremony and reception was held. This is one of favorite venues in Lincoln Park to be a planner at and much like Shakira’s hips, the photographs don’t lie. Plus, there is so much fantastic fall wedding inspiration to find in the details Laura + Josh compiled. Bright florals, cozy pashminas for guests (just in case!), wedding SUSHI, and selfies with taxidermy, the cost of scattering a few unique touches into the day is totally worth it.
So if you’re a bride named Laura (or something else), and want Laura (or another one of us!) from #TeamAE to coordinate your wedding, here’s where ya gotta drop us a line!
