Yesterday, I blogged about Christine and Marc getting ready. Today’s post focused on the ceremony and reception. If you haven’t been to the W City Center, the W is very unique compared to other hotel ballrooms. There is a smaller ballroom for the ceremony and a large ballroom for the reception. Both ballrooms are on the same floor on the mezzanine level, overlooking the gorgeous lobby. It was a perfect fit for Christine and Marc!

The aisle had bright flowers, which was exactly what the bubbly Bride wanted.
The aisle was lined with tall arrangements
Christine had a custom unity candle made for their ceremony.
The monogram on the programs was designed by Christine’s Mother.
Marc walking up the aisle with his parents. Both families were involved in the family. It is so wonderful when everyone participates in the planning.

The very chic bridesmaids all lined up.
I love a photo that catches a moment like this, during the ceremony.
Mazel tov!
The escort cards were also the favors!
A little special something for one of the guests?
Is this not the most amazing cake? Yes, it is a cake. Christine really wanted their dog to be apart of the wedding day but realized that it wouldn’t work out. So, to surprise Marc, she had TipsyCake make a cake to look just like him!
The room set-up for the reception.
The room was decorated with two different centerpieces.
Christine wanted pops of color with black and white. The colorful centerpieces were so vibrant in the grand ballroom.
The cake was decorated with skylines of Chicago and Cleveland as well as swirls. Christine came up with the clever design herself!
The hora is always my favorite part of the evening.
Congratulations Christine and Marc! I had such a wonderful time being apart of your wedding day.
