This wedding comes with a story; we had to make a call at 10AM whether to hold the ceremony outside, at the War Memorial in Milwaukee, overlooking Lake Michigan on the patio.  Gorgeous setting, perfect photographs, and the day, while a 30% chance of thundershowers after 6PM, was a beautiful hot one.  Why worry?

Halfway through the 20 minute ceremony, the reverend made the decision to move the crowd under the overhang just before the first big drops of rain began to hit.  Perfect timing!  So not only did the couple get fabulous ceremony photos with wild clouds and lighting, but they have a great story for their kids.

Thankfully, Golden Chic had made the decision to move the bars inside for the cocktail party well before the ceremony, so the rest of the rain was watched from behind safe glass and with delicious drinks.  Jamie and Adam are so practical, laid back, and fabulous that they took all the changes in stride, and with grace, filling their wedding day with the feel of poise, joy, and laughter.

Jamie knew right from the start that she wanted to take care of a lot of the little crafty projects herself, and the invitations, ceremony programs, escort cards and chair ties were a testament to her clean style and classic palette of navy, white and lime – fresh, creative, and timeless.  Not only were both Jamie and Adam a fabulous couple to work with, but their simple elegant style definitely came through on their wedding day.

Thanks both to the delicious food from Zilli’s Catering and divine cake from The Cake Lady, the day was carried off splendidly by Chic Blossoms and SugarLeaf Photography, who supplied an interactive photobooth later in the night.  We really were thrilled with the dynamic duo of Sound by Design who kept the dance floor packed all night!
