Sherwin and Allana – Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier, Chicago IL wedding

This wedding is special to me, Allana is my sorority sister from College and I was so happy to see her marrying her soulmate, Sherwin.  We had an amazing time at their engagement session in May.   Their theme was peacock feathers/colors and Allana used that 100% throughout the day!

I’m in love with this headpiece that she MADE!

You wouldn’t know this, but she is looking up at the Hancock Building because that is where Sherwin is waiting for her!

This fabulous jumbo cupcake (and the normal sized ones) were from Molly’s.  I have to say, they may rival my cupcakes I had at my wedding!  The cupcake I chose had real cookie dough inside!
