This guide should feel like
it belongs here.
Chicago weddings can range from architectural city celebrations to lofts, hotels, lakefront settings and neighborhood spaces.
SEASON: Season can change transportation, portrait plans and outdoor comfort substantially.
PLANNING: Treat guest transportation and weather alternatives as part of the design, especially for multi-location days.
Design the day from the guest's point of view
Walk through the wedding as if you know nothing: where to go, when to arrive, what happens between moments and how guests get home. Friction is easier to remove before invitations go out.
The details guests actually feel
