With sunnier days ahead and thinking of the groom's signature, infectious laugh, the first week of spring just would not feel right without sharing this vibrant beauty! For Mack + Lou's iDo, {SHE} brought a boho chic garden vibe right to the heart of the city on the outdoor tented terrace at Hyatt House Southside. Mackenzie, affectionately known as Mack, was craft savvy!! {SHE} totally surprised us when {SHE} researched, designed, + printed her own invitation suite + stationery--gold foil included!! The personal + sweet touches did not stop there. Mack redesigned and wore her mother's wedding gown, some family vases were sprinkled throughout the table design, homemade cranberry jam for favors, the sweetheart table bench was made by her dad, the dressers were adorned with family photos + pies, and we borrowed the bar cart for the cake from their home. Family and friends signed a white serving platter in permanent marker--the perfect guest book for this foodie couple!! And then there was the color palette, mix of textures, eclectic elements, and whimsy yet stunning florals!! Let's seriously have a moment of silence for Mack's bouquet--drop dead gorgeous!! *inserts silence* Ok now spring forward to loads of pretty captured by Ryan Zarichnak!
