It wasn’t in a galaxy far, far away but in a modern loft space in downtown Chicago that Michele and John celebrated their love in front of friends, family and a ragtag group of rebels. OK, there’s some speculation as to whether or not the heroes of the Rebel Alliance were there, but the wedding was a blast for everyone...even if they have never seen a single ‘Star Wars’ film. Michele made her grand entrance on the Chez glass staircase in a stunning mermaid silhouette wedding gown, and meanwhile the venue was transformed into a classic winter wedding theme -- the couple used Chicago wedding florist The Flower Firm to deck the venue in beautiful white and green floral arrangements and Michele and John even made custom metallic snowflakes to act as seating placeholders. That’s cooler than the ice planet Hoth after dark. Guests were treated to more splashes of personality and fun at the dinner and reception of this Chicago winter wedding, including the custom Millennium Falcon wedding cake that bore the ‘Just Married’ banner on the back. Congrats on an absolutely fabulous wedding, Michele and John! The Force is strong with this couple.
