Vintage Victorian Wedding

December 15th, 2011 by valerie

The bride thought of every detail as she worked closely with Artistic Floral Designto create her beautiful vintage dream wedding, bringing in her own design ideas.  The wedding day started out at the couples mansion built in the 1800′s located in Dundee (the home still being nenovated), we’ve included a photo of their coach home and the stone staircase.  The  brides flat arm bouquet is the style reminiscent from the early 1900′s.  Designed with eggplant calla lilies, black magic roses, ivory feathers,sprays of pearls and rhinestone brooch jewelry.

The church was also built in the 1800′s, charming and inviting.  The bride decorated the alter and candle tables with her own velvet fabric and brought in many candles.  The aisle is lined with candlelabors, shimmering fabric connecting the aisle, a cloth runner and silk candlelight petals.  Outside the church adorning the doors are grapevine wreaths with silk flowers and chocolate urns flank the staircase filled with silk ferns.  We used silk greenery because of the possibility of freezing tempertures. After the wedding the couple owns all the silk flowers, perfect for the vintage decor in their home or the ferns will look amazing on their front porch.

The reception located was the Seville in Streamwood.  The table arrangements had silver stands (the bride located and provided us with the silver table stands) with large black magic roses, hydrangeas, big ivory ostrich feathers, draping greenery, eggplant calla lilies and pearl swags draping. The cake top was designed with draping greens, pearls sprays and feathers.  Very rich in color and dramatic.

The photos shown are taken by AFD, once we receive the professional from Studio One in Crystal Lake we will update the photos.
