May was full of beautiful ceremonies and receptions that had a blend of classic traditions and fresh, modern receptions in our glass tent. Here are some of the unique pieces I loved from our May weddings with photos…
♦ Multiple weddings added on use of our Yard Games (one cocktail hour had to be moved inside because of the weather but that didn’t stop them from playing!)
♦ Lilac chair covers and napkins and runners
♦ One bride surprised her guests (and groom!) with having this horse and carriage bring them to the gazebo ceremony site (Jim & Beckys Carriage) 
♦ Bagpipe introduction for the bride and groom
♦ One sweet couple brought in a roulette table for their guests to play for fun
♦ Upgraded wines to be Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc, J Winery Cuvee Brut, King Estate Signature Pinot Noir for dinner and bar service (YUM!)
♦ A personalized gallery wall from Details (detailschicago.com)
♦ Adding on a fourth Hor d’Oeuvres was very popular this month with four of our couples offering the expanding selection
♦ Indoor Ceremony 
♦ Fun group photos right after the ceremony 
♦ Uplighting to enhance the reception 
♦ Highlighting special tables like the cake table with a special linen selection
♦ Unique photo spots around the estate (Photo by Korto Photo) 
♦ Signature Drinks
Other noteable unique add ons from this month’s fabulous weddings….
♦ Three couples added on the late night snacks of a taco bar!
♦ Several couples added on the Rent The Estate For The Day so they were able to come into the estate five and a half hours before their ceremony start time
