Kristen and Chris tied the knot one year ago today at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The lovely couple exchanged their vows in the English Walled Garden, where their guests sat surrounding the lily pond. Kristen and Chris processed down the aisle adjacent to a beautiful weeping willow tree. The scene was incredibly romantic! Fab Flora provided romantic blush and peach blooms, and they adorned the chairs with floral accompanied by linen from BHLDN. The floral centerpieces were vibrant and bold- full of reds, burgandies, corals and pops of fuchsia, and were held in Chinese-styled vases. Guests found their seats by finding their leaf with their name and table number on them- a very fitting escort card for the Botanic Garden. As wedding favors, guests took home little pineapple cakes, which was another cute personal touch. Check out these amazing photos taken by Melissa Hayes Photography below.
