Hayley & Ryan, Chicago Winery Wedding, Chicago IL

Hayley and Ryan’s Chicago Winery wedding was truly one for the books. From the second I walked into Hayley’s house that morning, the vibes were immaculate—music playing, the girls hanging out, and Jose Deleon Makeup absolutely crushing the glam.

Over in Lincoln Park, Ryan and his groomsmen kicked the day off in the most iconic way: taking the CTA bus to the Conservatory in their black tuxes. Only in Chicago.

One of my favorite moments was their private vows—totally unplanned, but their first home together was in the background, which made it feel extra special. We continued their photos in Lincoln Park and wow, what a perfect day weather wise.

When we arrived at Chicago Winery, Hayley’s reaction to the floral skylight by Flowers for Dreams was priceless. The floral skylight was the center of an incredible ceremony and reception set up and one of my favorite decor items from the year.

Once Hayley and Ryan said ‘I Do’ in their lovely and personal wedding ceremony, the party really started. Champagne tower entrance? Incredible. First dance to Santana? SO FUN.

The dance floor was instantly chaos in the best way—props, hats, party glasses, and the unforgettable giant cutouts of their cat, Diane. Hayley had a dance-off with her dad (with boas, obviously), and Hayley’s outfit change later in the night… are you kidding me!!!

And of course, the late-night Chicago-style hot dogs.

If I could, I’d go back and start this day over again right now!!
