On January 4, 2020, in a world untouched by face masks and social distancing, Mia and Blake celebrated a stunning winter wedding, an unforgettable event planned by Wedicity. Surrounded by friends, family, and love, this couple experienced the day of their dreams across iconic Chicago venues, with a beautiful blend of tradition, elegance, and personalized touches.
The day began in the Bridal Suite at the Hyatt Regency Downtown, where Mia and her bridesmaids enjoyed the pre-wedding excitement while getting ready together. The suite buzzed with laughter and happy energy as they prepared for the big day ahead. Mia looked radiant, and the joy shared in that suite was a reflection of the memorable day that was to follow.
Mia and Blake, with a large wedding party and equally large families, chose a “first look” moment in downtown Chicago. Meeting before the ceremony, they shared a quiet embrace that allowed them to settle into the day and absorb the excitement together, away from the crowd. This heartfelt moment, with smiles and giggles, was captured beautifully by Michael & Kristin Photography, setting a romantic tone for the day.
The wedding ceremony took place at the historic Saint Clement Parish, where Mia and Blake exchanged vows in a traditional Catholic service. Following the ceremony, the wedding party and guests were transported to Garfield Park Conservatory, a lush, scenic oasis that provided a magical winter setting for their photos. The holiday cheer still lingered, adding a cozy, festive ambiance to the conservatory’s already enchanting space.
The reception was held at the Bridgeport Art Center, where the iconic Elevator Bar welcomed guests with glasses of champagne, inviting them to join a lively cocktail hour. The reception decor featured wooden farm tables adorned with eucalyptus garlands and soft candlelight, creating an elegant yet intimate atmosphere. Specialty cocktails were crafted in honor of Mia's Gathered Nutrition Blog, offering a thoughtful touch to the evening.
The night was filled with joy, laughter, and dancing to a live band, culminating in a crowd-pleasing treat from Zarlengo’s Italian Ice, a family favorite. Under a canopy of sparklers, Mia and Blake ended the night in the glow of family and friends. As they departed, it was clear that this was the beginning of their own 'happily ever after,' surrounded by love and cherished memories.
