In a world before face masks and social distancing, we had the beautiful fairytale wedding of Mia and Blake. On January 4th, 2020 before Miss Corona made her appearance, the lovely couple got to say their I Do's and have the biggest wedding celebration Wedicity got to produce this year!
The morning started off with Mia and her girls getting ready in the Bridal Suite at the Hyatt Regency Downtown.
With a large wedding party and even larger families - they opted for a first look so they could nix the wedding jitters and be able to capture all of the wedding photos they wanted with thier tribes!
These two are so charming and smitten with each other! The moment Mia and Blake locked eyes, they were all smiles and giggles. For this moment, it was just the two of them, allowing them to take in a quiet moment before they jumped on the trolley with their tribe!
The couple opted for a scenic space at the Garfield Park Conservatory, filled with lush surrounds and a hit of holiday cheer still in the air.
Mia & Blake said their I Do's during their Catholic Ceremony at at Saint Clement Parish on the north side of the city and later held their reception at Bridgeport Art Center on the south side.
The iconic Elevator Bar at the Bridgeport Art Center welcomed guests with champagne as they entered cocktail hour on the 2nd floor.
Reception details of wooden farm tables, lush eucalyptus garlands and candle heavy decor filled the room. Specialty cocktails had feature a healthy option as a nod to Mia's Gathered Nutrition Blog!
The rest of the night was spent singing and dancing the night away to the live band and a traditional appearance from family favorite Zarlengo's Italian Ice!
....and they lived happily ever after!
