Yvette and Lou were married on a gorgeous summer day at the Biltmore Estate.  The whole weekend was filled with activities on the Estate for their guests…a Thursday night dinner at the Riverbend Barn, a Friday night dinner at the Conservatory, and then the wedding and reception on Saturday.  The ceremony was held on the front lawn of the Biltmore House, followed by a dinner reception in the Italian Gardens.  It was an amazing weekend for all!!  I absolutely adored this couple, as they were so genuinely sweet and tenderhearted.  You could see in their eyes and the way the cherished each other, that they were totally meant to be husband and wife.  You can read more about this couple at this link: Yvette and Lou
A huge thank you to Woodward + Rick for the exquisite photographs they captured of Yvette and Lou’s special day.   I just love working with Brian and Gry, and you can see their talent in the tons of photographs below!







Liz, with The Purple Iris, blew me away with the flowers!


Yvette and her mom (above) own Mira Couture in Chicago.  So they designed the bridesmaids dress, the mother-of-bride dress, and Yvette’s wedding dress…so stunning!





Dana, with A Fine Line, is truly the best calligrapher…look at her amazing work!  Flawless!




Yvette and Lou surprised their guests with a spectacular display of fireworks!
