Most of Lia and John's guests were out of state with a good amount having never even been to Chicago. "Throughout the weekend, we wanted to pay tribute to our favorite city. From speciality cocktails being named after Chicago icons to Homecoming by Kanye West playing on the freight elevator as guests sipped on champagne while being transported to the event space, Everywhere guests turned we made little odes to Chicago while the sun set over the skyline."

Amy and Paul were very intentional about which traditions they wanted to either abandon entirely or keep. "We walked into the ceremony hand in hand, spent the night before the wedding together and didn't have a first dance or bridal party. We were aiming for a more informal, relaxed event where we could enjoy the company of our guests and the flow of the day wasn’t interrupted by various formalities. Overall, I’d describe our aesthetic as timeless, romantic and relaxed, yet unique."
