Black and White Winter Wedding in Chicago

Ashley and Corey have been together for six years; after traveling across the U.S. and Canada for his hockey career, they have settled in Chicago, and they knew they wanted their winter wedding to be in the heart of downtown. They celebrated their union along with their adorable daughter, Chloe, and chose the glamorous Pazzo’s for their reception venue after falling in love with the tall glass ceilings and windows of the space. They picked a clean color palette of gold, black and ivory for their classic and sophisticated occasion. Ashley is the manager of Bella Bianca Bridal Couture, and she chose a stunning fit-and-flare Ines Di Santo “Vichy” gown for her special day, paired with gold open-toe booties and a glam fur stole. Ashley’s all-white bouquet featured metallic vintage brooches from her family members. Corey looked suave in an ivory jacket that had his initials and wedding date embroidered into the sleeve as an added personal touch. He gifted his groomsmen Blackhawks cufflinks in honor of his love for hockey. Like Ashley’s bouquet, his boutonniere featured a sentimental vintage brooch. Corey and Ashley had a traditional Catholic ceremony at one of Chicago’s oldest and most historic churches, Holy Family. After the ceremony, the couple, wedding party and their families went to Corey’s favorite hockey bar to celebrate with a few drinks before their reception. The reception at Pazzo’s was exactly like Ashley and Corey had dreamed; the golden décor and candlelight glimmered throughout the room. Their four-tiered wedding cake in front of the grand fountain was a show stopper, and as a surprise, Ashley gifted Corey a Blackhawks-themed groom’s cake in honor of his favorite team.
