Mansion at Maple Heights Wedding

Detail photo of a bride and groom's held hands with the words "I love you" tattooed on the bride's wrist.

Kelly and Phil really went all out in realizing their vision of a 1920’s-look and feel to their wedding.  This Mansion at Maple Heights wedding took place well before the Great Gatsby movie came out.  Kelly is a talented artist and she enlisted the help of her friends in coming up with much of the decor from the paper flowers all the way to the fonts used on the signs and menu cards.  What really made this wedding special was the spirit of celebration that everybody shared in.  Wait until you scroll down to the dancing photos!

Incredibly Detailed Details

Even more evidence of their hard work (photos by Lisa). The paper flowers were the result of many nights of crafting. It’s good to have friends if you’re going to attempt something on this scale. Those moon cookies were so cool!

While Kelly and Phil listened, Lara might have mentioned something about the Chicago Blackhawks during her speech.
