When it came time to plan for their rustic wedding at Chez, Alex and John knew that they would leave a handcrafted touch to their perfect Chicago wedding. Beyond adding rustic wedding decor, from the farm tables used at the wedding reception to the large flower arrangements and greenery adorning the tables, the couple wanted their wedding to have a personalized feel. How’d they do it? The idea behind the wedding was to keep things elegant and approachable. While the rustic wedding ideas were certainly helping to make things approachable, the name cards were handwritten by the bride’s mother to help create an elegant, bespoke feeling for the seating arrangements around those sturdy farm tables. Creating the perfect vision of a rustic wedding idea in a modern loft space was a memorable choice for the new couple in their Chicago wedding. Alex and John had determined to make their wedding stand out with memorable choices throughout. And yes, that did include the couple’s first song choice of “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey. Guests were sure to remember that song choice, and love it!
